Why AlgoNav for Automotive?

Ground truth quality positioning for autonomous driving development and ADAS homologation programs.

ADAS Validation

Sub-2 cm to centimeter-level ground truth trajectories for sensor fusion validation and Euro NCAP documentation. Validate automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with objective reference data for safety-critical development.

Ground Truth Generation

Deterministic reference trajectories for perception system training, testing, and benchmarking. Forward-backward smoothing delivers reproducible outputs from identical inputs, with full traceability for internal QA and regulatory audits.

Proving Ground Testing

High-rate positioning at 100-200 Hz for vehicle dynamics testing on proving grounds. Precise lateral and longitudinal motion capture supports chassis tuning, braking analysis, and tire development campaigns.

HD Map Creation

Precise positioning for high-definition road mapping at lane level. Accurate vehicle trajectories form the backbone of any HD map production pipeline, enabling centimeter-grade feature extraction.

How It Works

From raw sensor data to validated ground truth trajectories in four steps. AlgoNav's post-processing pipeline is built for automotive test engineers who need repeatable, audit-ready results.

STEP 1

Data Recording

Vehicle-mounted GNSS receivers, inertial measurement units, and odometer sensors capture raw observation data during test drives. AlgoNav provides multi-sensor support in one workflow, synchronizing single or dual-antenna setups, tactical or automotive-grade IMUs, and wheel speed sensor inputs.

STEP 2

Post-Processing

AlgoNav's tightly-coupled GNSS/INS sensor fusion engine processes all raw observation data using forward-backward Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoothing. This approach extracts the maximum possible accuracy from every recorded epoch, especially during GNSS outages in urban canyons, tunnels, and parking garages.

STEP 3

Ground Truth Generation

The output is a sub-2 cm to centimeter-level reference trajectory with full attitude information: position, velocity, roll, pitch, and heading at configurable rates from 100 to 200 Hz. These trajectories serve as ground truth for ADAS validation, autonomous vehicle sensor fusion benchmarking, and vehicle dynamics analysis.

STEP 4

Quality Assurance

Automated accuracy reports and quality metrics accompany each processed trajectory. Versioned processing settings, satellite visibility statistics, and sensor fusion diagnostics ensure traceability and reproducibility for Euro NCAP documentation, regulatory compliance, and internal quality audits.

Use Cases

AlgoNav serves the full spectrum of automotive positioning needs, from single prototype vehicles to large-scale fleet testing programs.

ADAS Validation and Homologation

Euro NCAP and regulatory test scenarios require centimeter-level ground truth to demonstrate that advanced driver assistance systems perform correctly. AlgoNav provides deterministic reference trajectories for lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control validation against strict accuracy thresholds.

Autonomous Vehicle Fleet Testing

Large-scale autonomous driving programs generate hundreds or thousands of test drives per week. AlgoNav's cloud-based batch processing handles high data volumes efficiently, enabling overnight processing of entire fleets without manual intervention so teams can focus on algorithm development instead of data pipeline management.

HD Map Production

High-definition maps require precise vehicle positioning at lane level to extract road features, lane markings, and traffic sign locations. AlgoNav delivers the centimeter-grade trajectories that mobile mapping platforms depend on for accurate geospatial feature registration and map compilation.

Vehicle Dynamics Testing

Chassis development, tire characterization, and handling evaluation on proving grounds demand high-rate positioning in the 100-200 Hz range. AlgoNav provides precise lateral and longitudinal position, velocity, and attitude measurements that vehicle dynamics engineers need for objective performance evaluation and simulation model validation.

Challenges We Solve

Automotive testing environments push GNSS positioning to its limits. AlgoNav is engineered to deliver reliable results where standard solutions fall short.

Urban Canyon GNSS Outages

Downtown test routes with tall buildings cause frequent multipath and signal blockage. AlgoNav's tightly-coupled IMU fusion bridges GNSS gaps seamlessly, maintaining reliable centimeter-level continuity through urban canyons, tunnels, and parking structures so no critical test segment is lost.

Large Fleet Data Volumes

Processing thousands of test drives manually is not scalable. AlgoNav's cloud-based batch processing pipeline ingests raw data, applies consistent processing parameters, and returns quality-controlled trajectories overnight without manual intervention, turning weeks of work into hours.

Multi-Sensor Configurations

Automotive test fleets use diverse hardware from different manufacturers. AlgoNav supports dual-antenna GNSS receivers, multiple IMU grades from tactical to MEMS, and odometer inputs from any vendor. One processing engine with broad multi-sensor support handles all sensor configurations consistently, without vendor lock-in.

Reproducibility Requirements

Regulatory compliance and internal quality standards demand deterministic, repeatable results. AlgoNav's post-processing algorithms are fully deterministic, ensuring that identical input data and settings always produce identical output trajectories, no matter when or where you process them.

Hardware Independent

AlgoNav works with the sensors you already have. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary hardware requirements.

Compatible with Any GNSS Receiver and IMU

AlgoNav's processing engine is designed to be hardware-agnostic with strong multi-sensor support. Whether your test vehicles are equipped with survey-grade dual-frequency receivers or cost-effective automotive-grade modules, AlgoNav extracts the maximum accuracy from your raw observation data without vendor lock-in.

  • Works with any GNSS receiver brand and model, from automotive-grade to geodetic
  • Supports tactical, industrial, and MEMS-grade inertial measurement units
  • Accepts wheel speed sensor and odometer inputs for improved dead reckoning
  • Dual-antenna heading support for robust attitude determination

Flexible Data Format Support

Raw observation data comes in many formats. AlgoNav handles the most common standards used in the automotive industry, minimizing data preparation effort and enabling seamless integration into existing test data workflows.

  • RINEX 3.x and RINEX 4 observation and navigation files
  • Proprietary binary formats from leading GNSS receiver manufacturers
  • Standard IMU data formats and generic CSV import
  • Flexible output in KML, CSV, and industry-standard trajectory formats

Drive with Confidence

Whether you are validating ADAS functions for Euro NCAP, processing autonomous driving fleet data, or building HD maps, AlgoNav delivers reproducible ground truth trajectories at the accuracy and 100-200 Hz rates your programs require.
