ITS / GNSS a chance to change

transportation planning paradigm

16/03/2015 3

� From the section based Origin – Destination to the complete travelling

behavior knowledge

� From the stand-alone decisions (one mobile, one vehicle, one traveler,

one trip) to multi-modal, interconnected, multi-users (carsharing, road

sharing, traffic real time evaluation and prediction, traffic

management )

� From vehicle safety to road safety through full interconnection

between all components of sharing a transportation mode

Video cameraDetects traffic lights, road signs, pedestrians and other mobile objects.

Radar sensorsControl the position of other vehicles.

GNSSDetermines the location of the vehicle and keeps track of its movements. Enhance security by providing a real positioning

LIDAR (light detection and ranging)Provides 3D images of the surroundings, 360°.

Ultrasonic, laser or wheel-speed sensors may also complete the equipment to refine the localization of the vehicle and the apprehension of its environment.

Autonomous cars in progress

The Google Car: showcasing the ultimate possibilities of the autonomous car.

Audi & BMW: experiencing the first generation of automated car features, ready to go on the market.


Progress and great future even if barriers remain (1/2)

� Two main applications

� Closed cities or area to any other type of vehicles

� Integration into the existing traffic

� Technology issues are solvable

� Hardware advances is straight forward

� Request for vast computing power and huge data storage

� Reliability – espacially software is the biggest hurdle

� Cyber-security will be another big hurdle

� 4G Telecom cover and availability of the bandwidth

� Cost is an issue even if Google officially denies it


16/03/2015 8

� Cost

� On-board technology (a LDAR is still around USD80,000)

� Road Side Infrastructure

� Ethic and legislation

� Today, all legislations in the word state that a car must have a

driver

� Responsibility of the carmaker in case of accident

� Maps’ reliability and frequent updates

� Consumer perception

� Necessity to promote ADAS autonomy to grow acceptance

� Ok for assistance but maybe not for a full robotic takes over

� Concerns about data privacy & cyber securitySource : GSA – GNSS Market report 2013 – Issue 3

Progress and great future even if barriers remain (1/2)


However, Autonomous cars are coming

16/03/2015 9



Our view is that the GNSS and more especially

Galileo has a key role to play

16/03/2015 10


� A centimeter precision is requested no matter where the vehicle is

� Keep track of the car’s movements, allowing the central unit to know

where the vehicle stands anytime

� The latest development is the tolling by GNSS demonstrated that space

industry has means to prevent hacking, spoofing, jamming

� Cross-check the information collected by other sensors

� Liability in case of accident

� Standards ?
