Highly automomous vehicles need to know their location relative to the road but GPS is not accurate enough.Autonomous vehicles being developed and tested today use rich 3D maps of the environment to determine thevehicle position to within a centimeter or so but the technology is very expensive, bulky and power hungry.We have identified a radically new way to determine vehicle location that is not only cheaper, more compactand more efficient but should also determine position to millimeter accuracy. Our system uses a novel 3Dimaging sensor.In our project we will build a prototype of the sensor, demonstrate the ability to localise a vehicle and developthe commercial value proposition and route to market.

高度自动化的车辆需要知道它们相对于道路的位置，但GPS不够准确。目前正在开发和测试的自动驾驶车辆使用丰富的3D环境地图来确定车辆位置，误差在一厘米左右，但这项技术非常昂贵，体积庞大，耗电量大。我们已经确定了一种全新的方法来确定车辆位置，不仅更便宜，更紧凑，更高效，但也应该确定毫米精度的位置。我们的系统使用一种新型的3D成像传感器。在我们的项目中，我们将建立一个传感器的原型，展示本地化车辆的能力，并开发商业价值主张和市场路线。
