Topic：Wireless Road Infrastructure for Accurate and Reliable Vehicle Localization - A Roadmap to the Future
Time：March 20, 10:00-11:00
Location：SIST Building 1C-502
Speaker： Prof. Guoqiang Mao, UTS
Abstract:
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are set to completely disrupt countless aspects of daily personal life, business, and technology in the decades to come. The safe and efficient mass deployment ofCAVsrequires the support of revolutionary,next generationsmart road infrastructure. Accurate and reliable localization anytime anywhere is a key requirement for the safe and efficient operations ofCAVs. This talk will start with an introduction to our previous research projects in localization area. Then, it will introduceoutfuture work plan to lay the theoretical foundation for establishing the wireless road infrastructure needed to support accurate and reliablelocalisationof connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), via the deployment and coordination of a large number of low-cost road beacons. The proposed solution complements existing satellite, and map-and-sensor, basedlocalisation, and extends this technology to provide accurate CAVlocalisationin complex and dynamic environments, like urban canyons and tunnels.
