Presentamos WayFinder Hub <\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n \n\n

Your tool for uninterrupted trajectory data in demanding testing environments.<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n

If you want to expand your testing capabilities, and keep up with the growing requirements of scenario testing in more environments, WayFinder Hub is the tool you need. A powerful edge computing and connectivity platform that links and syncs your OXTS INS and LiDAR sensors to deliver LiDAR Boost software capability, providing real-time precision positioning even in GNSS-denied areas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For years, automotive test and validation teams have relied on GNSS and inertial navigation systems (INS) to generate the accurate positioning data needed for vehicle development. But as testing expands into increasingly complex environments – including indoor facilities, urban canyons, tunnels, and areas with intermittent GNSS coverage – the limitations of traditional localisation approaches become more apparent.<\/p>\n

Last year, we brought our LiDAR Bost software to market through WayFinder Prime, an all-in-one solution to GNSS-denied localisation, with integrated LiDAR’s and powerful onboard computing. But for those with already established testing setups, or existing OXTS hardware, a solution was needed that was flexible, whilst still delivering the uncompromising accuracy LiDAR Boost delivers in demanding testing environments.<\/p>\n

Today, we’re excited to introduce WayFinder Hub<\/strong>, a new plug-and-play platform that makes advanced localisation technology more accessible, and flexible,\u00a0 than ever.<\/p>\n

For existing OXTS customers, the power of our LiDAR Boost software can be added to your testing setup through the addition of WayFinder Hub. For those new to OXTS, you can benefit from buying a RT300o v4 alongside WayFinder Hub to achieve much better positioning and trajectory accuracy in areas where GNSS is unreliable or absent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n

LiDAR Boost delivers uncompromising performance in the toughest testing environments<\/span><\/h5>\n

One of the biggest challenges facing automotive validation teams today is generating reliable ground truth data in GNSS-denied environments.<\/p>\n

Whether testing in indoor facilities, underground structures, urban environments, or challenging open-road scenarios, maintaining positioning accuracy is essential for validating vehicle sensors and automated driving functions. Over the years, a range of alternative localisation technologies have emerged, including ultra-wideband (UWB), SLAM-based systems, and infrastructure-dependent solutions such as magnetic guidance strips.<\/p>\n

While these approaches can be effective, they often come with trade-offs. Many require infrastructure to be installed within the operating environment, restricting vehicles to predefined areas and limiting flexibility. Others perform well indoors but struggle to maintain the same level of accuracy outdoors, creating challenges when moving between GNSS-available and GNSS-denied environments.<\/p>\n

By combining INS hardware with real-time LiDAR Boost processing, the WayFinder family enables accurate localisation in environments where GNSS alone cannot provide the performance required.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This allows you to extend testing activities into new operational domains while maintaining confidence in the quality of your reference data.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo funciona LiDAR Boost?<\/span><\/h5>\n

You can take a deep dive into our LiDAR Boost technology in our blog aqu\u00ed<\/a>. But here is a short overview to tide you over:<\/p>\n

LiDAR Boost improves the accuracy of a GNSS\/INS navigation system when GNSS signals are weak, unavailable, or unreliable. Normally, an inertial navigation system accumulates errors and its position estimate drifts without GNSS corrections. LiDAR Boost reduces or eliminates this drift using LiDAR data in two ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Real-time LiDAR Inertial Odometry (LIO):<\/strong> Tracks features detected by the LiDAR sensor between scans to provide velocity updates, helping maintain accurate positioning during GNSS outages, in tunnels, or in urban environments affected by multipath errors.<\/li>\n
  2. Live Map Matching (LMM):<\/strong> Compares live LiDAR data against a previously created point cloud map to generate highly accurate position updates. Because positioning is referenced to the map, results are fully repeatable and free from drift, making it ideal for applications such as autonomous navigation and ground-truth data collection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you need improved trajectory accuracy in urban canyons, through tunnels, or anywhere else where GNSS is intermittent or absent, LiDAR Boost is the tool to help you get exactly what you need, wherever you need it.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n
