It has been proposed that the current design of in-vehicle displays may not be appropriate for the older driver. This paper describes an empirical, road-based investigation of the benefits to older and younger drivers of providing landmarks within the instructions presented by an in-vehicle navigation system. Thirty two participants navigated a challenging urban route using either landmarks or ...

Map interfaces are the quasi-standard for car navigation systems, and are usually the first choice for mobile pedestrian navigation systems. Alternatives are being investigated in research and industry that possibly suit the settings and needs of the person on foot better. One solution is augmented reality (AR), which blends navigation instructions with the view of the real world. However, rese...

Searching for vacant parking spaces is a time-consuming and often irritating task. Car park routeing systems can assist drivers in this undertaking. Current parking systems either issue imprecise information or prove costly due to the required resources, and are thus unattractive for car park operators. In this paper, we propose a vehicle tracking and navigation module as part of a routeing sys...

In this paper, a Korean large vocabulary speech recognizer for an embedded car navigation device is introduced. The proposed speech recognizer identifies 450k point-of-interests within a resource-limited device without serious performance degradation under severe car-noise environments. Before launching the speech recognition application on the Korean retail market, a series of speech recogniti...

Tokyo, January 19, 2009 — Renesas Technology Corp. today announced the SH7776 (SH-Navi3), a dual-core system-on-chip (SoC) device with on-chip enhanced graphics functions and a highperformance image recognition processing function for the next generation high-performance car information terminals that evolved from car navigation systems. The SH7776 (SH-Navi3) integrates two CPU cores on a singl...

We consider a left-invariant dynamics on an arbitrary Lie group. We show that it is possible, when the output map is right-left equivariant, to build non-linear observers such that the error equation is autonomous. The theory is illustrated by an inertial navigation example.

We consider a left-invariant dynamics on an arbitrary Lie group. We show that it is possible, when the output map is compatible with right multiplications, to build non-linear observers such that the error equation is autonomous. The theory is illustrated by an inertial navigation example. Index Terms Lie group, symmetries, invariance, nonlinear asymptotic observers, inertial navigation.
