Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle positioning methods face challenges in achieving high accuracy due to single-dimensional matching, leading to low reliability of position information, which can result in incorrect lane line identification and subsequent navigation errors.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle positioning method that obtains perceptual information from sensors and high-precision map data, including lane line, curb, and guardrail information, to determine matching information across multiple dimensions, improving the accuracy and reliability of position determination.
