SHANGHAI, May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Quectel has published a new whitepaper titled 'Why GNSS for eMobility must

balance precision, price, power and packaging'. The paper details the

challenges eMobility providers face in enabling vehicles such as eScooters and

eBikes to be located in deep urban canyons. It examines why accurate location

data will be vital in enabling the ride-sharing industry to comply with

regulation to restrict eMobility usage on sidewalks and other areas.

The paper goes on to explain why adopting a GNSS module that offers a

multi-constellation GNSS receiver with L1 and L5 dual band capability,

significantly increases the number of satellites a vehicle can track. This

capability, augmented by dead reckoning information, provides vast improvements

to positioning in deep urban canyons and can achieve a 10x improvement in

location accuracy.

Drive test data conducted on an eScooter in San Francisco by positioning

solutions specialist HYFIX is included in the paper to demonstrate the enhanced

accuracy offered by L1 and L5 plus dead reckoning capability. The paper also

sets out how the Quectel LC79D is enabling the eMobility industry to harness

the fusion of different sensors in a very small footprint at very low

incremental cost with unparalleled accuracy.

"eMobility providers face substantial challenges when dealing with location in

deep urban environments," said Mark Murray, VP of Sales for GNSS and Automotive

at Quectel. "First and foremost, customers need to be able to find the vehicle

and cities need to have the assurances that these eBikes and eScooters are

operated in mutually agreed locations. This whitepaper discusses the issues

faced by eMobility providers and clearly makes the case on why the LC79D is the

perfect solution for this market."
