Hardware-timestamped IEEE 1588v2 PTP clocks and 802.1Qbv time-aware shapers guaranteeing bounded latency for critical motion and safety packets.
UGVSync synchronizes all onboard compute nodes, sensors, and remote motor inverters to within ±250 nanoseconds using hardware-assisted IEEE 1588v2 PTP over Gigabit automotive Ethernet, preventing phase drift during synchronized tandem operations.
By reserving cyclically repeating microsecond time slots via IEEE 802.1Qbv, safety-critical motion commands traverse the network with zero queueing jitter, strictly isolated from high-bandwidth LiDAR point cloud and video streams.
