Qianxun SI works with FAW Group to offer Hongqi high-precision location-based service

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Qianxun SI, a Chinese positioning service provider, has formed a partnership with China's state-owned FAW Group to provide its high-precision location-based service for the latter's Hongqi-branded vehicles to be mass produced in 2020, according to local media outlets.

According to the agreement, Qianxun SI shall offer the premium car brand its sub-meter level accuracy positioning service dubbed FindM Pro. By leveraging the nationwide BeiDou ground-based augmentation system and using RTD (real-time differential) technology, the service is able to pinpoint a location with accuracy of 20 centimeters in an open space, which is even narrower than a lane.

Powered by the FindM Pro service, Hongqi's V2X technology is allowed to build information-passing bridges between vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and pedestrians, vehicles and infrastructures. Besides, using the V2X technology, vehicles would not be disturbed by driver's sight limitation and severe weather conditions, and prevent from hurting traffic participants with less misreporting of emergency braking and head-on collision warnings.

Qianxu SI will also offer technologies and services to support Hongqi in making Level 3 autonomous vehicles. Autonomous driving system should be able to do decision-making based on satellite positioning and HD map data even if the relative positioning scheme is invalid (involving such cases as irregular lane lines, covered lane lines and too large curve curvature, etc.)

Founded on August 18th, 2015, Qianxun SI is a joint venture between Norinco Group and Alibaba Group. Based on raw observation data delivered by four GNSS constellations (including Beidou, GPS, GLONASS and Galileo), Qianxun services, accessing through internet, by utilizing self-built ground-based augmentation system and self-developed positioning algorithms, dramatically improve positioning accuracy, so as to provide high-precision positioning and relative LBS solutions for users across China.
