Navtech Radar will be exhibiting the latest innovations in its radar localisation solution at this year’s Bauma exhibition in Munich, October 24 – 30. The system, Teran360, is a single sensor radar localisation solution that uses Navtech's millimetre wave radar technology to reliably position a vehicle in its surroundings, particularly in harsh working environments such as mining and construction.
Currently, autonomous vehicles in these two sectors rely on GPS sensors to report their location, in order to reliably maintain centimetre level positioning required for autonomy, especially within urban developments where signal is compromised by buildings and GPS denial and jamming. Teran360, on the other hand, draws on high resolution radar technology which penetrates the atmospheric and weather conditions to constantly deliver highly accurate, centimetre level location data.
Delivered in partnership with autonomous vehicle software specialist, Oxbotica, Teran360 is certified to IP67 standard, meaning the sensors are completely protected from water and debris, ensuring constant operation and minimal maintenance to enable100% visibility of assets at all times. Oxbotica’s localisation algorithms are combined with Navtech’s ruggedised industrial radar sensors to provide a package that is resilient to weather and harsh environments.
