The total in-car navigation market has been in continual decline for the last three years, but ABI Research believes it has now reached its lowest ebb. While pure navigation is unlikely to reach the highs of 2008 again, the overall market is reaching a revenue plateau, creating a solid platform on which connected in-car services can bring a new generation of revenue growth, the market research firm concluded.
Rand McNally has announced that its mobile communication systems are now certified and integrated with two applications from TMW Systems, Inc. As a result, fleets that use TMWSuite or TL2000 now can pull data from Rand McNally’s TND 760 and TruckPC in-cab devices through their TMW products.
Future safety-relevant driver assistant systems demand vehicle state estimations accurate enough to match the position within a road lane, which cannot be provided by standalone GPS. A promising approach to meet the requirements is the fusion of standalone or differential GNSS measurements with vehicle sensor data like odometers or accelerometers. To achieve deeper sensor integration, a software GNSS receiver was developed at the Institute of Flight Guidance (IFF) that is able to use dead reckoning sensors to support its signal acquisition. This article presents an approach to estimate the signal states during outages based on the tightly coupled vehicle state, which reduces the reacquisition time and significantly increases the signal availability.
Consider two notable developments in 2011 that will influence the development of consumer transportation: China became the largest manufacturer of automobiles, producing more than 18 million vehicles, easily overtaking Europe and North America; smartphone volume shipments surpassed the volume of laptops and desktop PCs combined. Reflecting these two rising economic rockets, the November Munich Telematics show drew its largest attendance yet, 500-plus participants, and a greatly expanded exhibit area.
