Unlocking value from accuracy in floating car data

Floating car data is typically timestamped geo-localization and speed data directly collected by moving vehicles. However, the quality of this location data is usually a few meters off from the ground truth. Extracting the raw GNSS data (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou) from the GNSS receiver generates the opportunity to post-process this data, to correct it to decimeter level accuracy and to use it for many valuable purposes such as lane-level traffic information, HD maps, accident reconstruction and more, substantially increasing monetization opportunities. Geoflex has built this post-processing capability worldwide using a technology (seven patents) initially developed by French space agency CNES.
