EUSPA project ERASMO showcased the AD On-Board Unit with highly advanced positioning

The ERASMO project, funded by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), recently demonstrated its innovative on-board unit (OBU), a multi-sensor solution capable of achieving both high accuracy and safe navigation for automated driving. Key features of the ERASMO OBU include:

• Highly advanced positioning thanks to the high-end GNSS receiver (multi-constellation, multi-frequency) that leverages the advanced correction service of EU’s satellite system Galileo;
• Highly advanced safety performance through an integrity layer, which uses protection levels (PLs) and integrity risks (IRs) to measure: the probability and the confidence of the vehicle’s position, when the estimated location is safe, and to what extent to trust the information provided by the positioning system.

The ERASMO OBU integrates multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS signals and combines information from the vehicle sensors and internal and external sensors thanks to proprietary positioning algorithms. The result is a hybrid solution with integrity estimations that aim to maintain 10 cm localisation accuracy regardless of the external environment.
