PRECISE POSITIONING FOR AUTOMOTIVE
We are enabling autonomy with positioning solutions to steer your business forward
Keeping vehicles on point. In lane. On time.
Trimble ProPoint Go
Built for safety on the go.
Trimble ProPoint Go™ was the first automotive and heavy trucking precise positioning engine to receive Automotive Safety Integrity Level-C (ASIL-C) certification.
ASIL is a risk classification system defined by the ISO 26262 standard for the functional safety of road vehicles and in-lane positioning systems such as advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for autonomous vehicle operation.
Trimble provides automotive manufacturers across the globe with lane-level, safety-certified positioning solutions that can be used to test and develop driving applications—from prototyping to production.
