When it comes to mobility, where something is and where it is going are among the most powerful pieces of information a system can have and UWB is a solution for that.
When it comes to mobility, where something is and where it is going are among the most powerful pieces of information a system can have. That principle applies to vehicles on the road — but it also applies to the driver, the passengers and any vulnerable road users nearby, such as pedestrians and bicyclists.Ultra-wideband (UWB) has emerged as a promising wireless technology for determining the locations of objects with precision in certain applications. The biggest game changer is the inclusion of UWB support in major smartphones, which allows a vehicle system to know the locations of the people carrying them.As OEMs look to take advantage of this trend and include more UWB devices in their vehicles, optimizing those systems for cost and maximum effectiveness will be crucial — as will moving beyond using UWB simply for phone-as-a-key applications to enable a range of potential features.Continue reading
