A reference station for high-precision positioning to support autonomous driving of mobile vehicles has been installed.

“Sustainable Open Innovation Center” (abbreviation) that promotes research, development, and demonstration experiments based on industry-government-academia collaboration and SDGs established within the KCG Group (Kyoto Computer Gakuin, The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics, Kyoto Automobile College) (SOC) (Director: Shoji Imai, Professor, Kyoto University of Information Sciences, Deputy Director: Shozo Naito, Professor) On the rooftop of Kyoto Computer Gakuin Kyoto Station / Kyoto Institute of Information Graduate Kyoto Station (Nishi Kujo-ji Nomae-cho, Minami-ku, Kyoto), a high-precision positioning reference station that supports autonomous driving of mobile objects is installed, and data for position correction is used. The delivery service of has started.

This system enables highly accurate positioning of moving objects in real time, and can be used for navigation of various vehicles, drones, and electric wheelchairs.The information service will be provided free of charge.

KK Labs will provide the receiving equipment that will serve as the reference station, and data will be distributed via RTK2go, a positioning information distribution service.The use of compatible receivers will enable real-time, high-precision positioning, which is expected to be used for autonomous operation and operation management of industrial vehicles, such as agricultural and civil engineering vehicles, drones, and ships, as well as for navigation of electric wheelchairs.

In the future, we will also consider distribution from the “soic.kyoto” domain with the cooperation of Cyber Kyoto Research Institute, The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics, which manages and manages the top-level domain “.kyoto”.Furthermore, the KCG Group will conduct applied research using this system and develop education on system development methods using this system as teaching materials.KK Labs will continue to commercialize and commercialize receivers and mobile stations.In addition, KCG Group and KK Labs plan to jointly conduct a demonstration study of a real-time high-precision positioning system.
