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.
