Demonstration and Evaluation of Precise Positioning for Connected and Automated Mobility Services

Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services require precise and reliable localization services able to infer and track the position of a vehicle with lane accuracy. The H2020 5GCroCo project, which trials 5G technologies in the European cross-border corridor along France, Germany and Luxembourg, as well as in five small-scale trial sites, considers different technologies to enhance vehicle localization, including GPS Real Time Kinematic (GPS-RTK), Ultra-WideBand (UWB) and Inertial Sensors (INS). This paper presents a compact prototype, which integrates these localization technologies with 5GCroCo’s On-Board Unit (OBU) equipment, and its evaluation within the scope of the Anticipated Cooperative Collision Avoidance (ACCA) Use Case demonstrated in Barcelona small-scale trial site.
