Here and Decawave join forces on indoor tracking technology

Amsterdam’s Here Technologies has partnered with fabless semiconductor company Decawave to develop a solution that tracks assets in indoor environments. The partnership believes the technology could be applied to automated valet parking for driverless vehicles. The product will feature Decawave’s ultra-wideband (UWB) chipset technology to track objects and people with a 10cm-level precision in indoor environments. UWB signals are intended to provide accurate positioning capabilities that can be harnessed

Amsterdam’s 7643 Here Technologies has partnered with fabless semiconductor company Decawave to develop a solution that tracks assets in indoor environments. The partnership believes the technology could be applied to automated valet parking for driverless vehicles.

The product will feature Decawave’s ultra-wideband (UWB) chipset technology to track objects and people with a 10cm-level precision in indoor environments.

UWB signals are intended to provide accurate positioning capabilities that can be harnessed in wireless systems.

Both companies expect to make the solution available later this year.

    AAdvances in LiDAR are helping transport authorities improve services and identify potential problem areas, as geospatial technology expert Dr Neil Slatcher explains. The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo

Solar power has been relatively slow in entering the transport sector, but a current blossoming of activity bodes well for the large-scale harnessing of an alternative energy that is zero-emission at source and, in practical terms, infinitely renewable. Traffic management and traveller information systems, and actual vehicles, are all emerging as areas for deployment. Meanwhile roads themselves are being viewed as new-style, fossil fuel-free ‘power stati
