چکیده

Cooperative positioning (CP) is a localization technique originally developed for use across wireless sensor networks. With the emergence of Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) infrastructure for use in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), CP techniques can now be adapted for use in location determination across vehicular networks. In vehicular networks, the technique of CP fuses GPS positions with additional sensed information such as intervehicle distances between the moving vehicles to determine their location within a neighborhood. This paper presents the results obtained from a research study undertaken to demonstrate the capabilities of DSRC for meeting the positioning accuracies of road safety applications. The results show that a CP algorithm that fully integrates both measured/sensed data as well as navigation information such as map data can meet the positioning requirements of safety related applications of DSRC (<0.5m). This paper presents the results of a Cramer Rao Lower Bound analysis which is used to benchmark the performance of the CP algorithm developed. The Kalman Filter (KF) models used in the CP algorithm are detailed and results obtained from integrating GPS positions, inter-vehicular ranges and information derived from in-vehicle maps are then discussed along with typical results as determined through a variety of network simulation studies.

Semi-Interpenetrating Cooperative Localization in Connected Vehicle Networks

We proposed a fusion mechanism for the distributed cooperative map matching (CMM) within the vehicular ad-hoc network. This mechanism makes the information from each node reachable within the network by other nodes without direct communication, thus improving the overall localization accuracy and robustness. Each node runs a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter (RBPF) that processes the Global Nav...

Robust Cooperative and Communication-Friendly Localization in Vehicular Networks

Precise location services are seen as key enablers to future Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSs). Relying on Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication links, one promising solution consists in performing distributed Cooperative Localization (CLoc). More specifically, Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) broadcasts from neighboring vehicles (seen as “virtual anchors”) are used to exchange positiona...
