U-blox state of art Automative Dead Reckoning solution
602 U-Blox has released a new, state-of-the-art Automotive Dead Reckoning (ADR) solution that has been recently implemented in in-dash navigation and eCall systems at Tier One automotive car electronics suppliers to top German automakers. The solution blends input from GPS satellites with vehicle sensors to determine position even where GPS signals are blocked or weak. U-blox says it is compatible with virtually any car model or drivetrain type.

"Our ADR solution is revolutionary in that it requires no customisation and runs entirely on the GPS chip." said Thomas Seiler, U-blox CEO. "The off-the-shelf solution requires minimum integration efforts, reducing risk, cost and time to market".

In addition to vehicle navigation, ADR supports a growing number of safety, security and road-pricing applications such as emergency call, pay-as-you-drive insurance, road pricing and stolen vehicle tracking. The solution ensures uninterrupted navigation and tracking using aiding data from wheel tick sensors and optional gyroscope acquired from the vehicle databus. It is completely self-calibrating, requiring no preconfiguration.
