Trimble, TDK's advanced navigation solution to enhance automotive positioning
Trimble and InvenSense, a TDK group company, have partnered to deliver an advanced navigation solution to provide enhanced accuracy and reliability in positioning and navigation for automotive and IoT applications. The navigation solution integrates the Trimble ProPoint Go engine and RTX correction service with TDK's SmartAutomotive inertial measurement units (IMUs) from InvenSense. The Trimble ProPoint Go positioning engine is designed to offer high-accuracy position and orientation data. It leverages quad-frequency GNSS signal support and is the first to market with Automotive Safety Integrity Level-C (ASIL-C) certified correction data. This development is set to improve the capabilities of automated driving and IoT applications, such as field robotics, with a strong emphasis on safety. Trimble advanced positioning vice president Olivier Casabianca said: "Together with TDK we are bringing the power of high-accuracy and precise positioning along with state-of-the art ASIL-certified sensors to help our customers build innovative solutions for automotive and IoT markets. "As we continue to expand our positioning services with TDK and other tier one companies, we are powering the connected world while ensuring the safety and accuracy of connected systems." TDK's IMUs, which combine a triaxal accelerometer and a triaxal gyroscope within a compact module, can identify linear acceleration and angular velocity with a high degree of precision. TDK's six-axis and MEMS fabrication platform allows these inertial sensors to offer high performance in a small size with low power consumption, broadening the scope for application in various fields. The collaboration between Trimble's positioning engine and RTX correction with TDK's modules is poised to deliver significant benefits. These include superior positioning accuracy in diverse conditions, reliable orientation and navigation data critical for autonomous vehicles, drones, and industrial machinery, and versatility across a multitude of applications such as ADAS, C-V2X, field robotics, and UAVs. The advanced navigation solution comprising Trimble's ProPoint Go engine and RTX correction service, along with TDK's IMUs module, is currently available for testing through the Trimble Evaluation Kit. TDK automotive motion vice president and general manager Stefano Zanella said: "Inertial and positioning data have become critical in enabling automation, improving efficiency and monitoring conditions. "Building on almost a decade of collaboration with Trimble, we are delighted to take our efforts to the next level: by offering an integrated solution, we empower customers to accelerate deployment, streamline integration and maximize the value of this transformative technology." Earlier this year, Trimble expanded its collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to offer precise positioning solutions for automated vehicles, ranging from passenger cars to heavy trucks.
