Cover Story: Road safety and vehicle efficiency are key factors for the development of autonomous vehicles. Thus, this industry needs to know the exact location of the vehicle on the road to safely perform autonomous maneuvers, even in scenarios where GNSS technology is not reliable enough. This leads to the use of a combination of technologies to achieve this ambitious target. UWB is a potential candidate to be employed as a redundant precise positioning system. This technology, mainly used in indoor environments, needs to be exploited by fusing the UWB ranging estimations with inertial and odometry data from the on-board sensors of the vehicle. The integration of this approach can provide highly accurate positioning data to the autonomous vehicles and continuous knowledge of the vehicle’s location as is required to perform an autonomous maneuver.
