Magnetic sensing is a reliable technology that has been developed for the purposed of position measurement and guidance, especially for applications in autonomous robotic vehicles. To calculate a position of a magnetic guidance road, it should be estimated in real-time. While the capability of a microprocessor and memory spaces have the limitation in implementation. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a new structure of the magnetic sensors included a vertical magnetic field. The proposed method uses the linear region of the sensor output, and position determination using a simple equation with a microcontroller. The position sensing technique was implemented in the guidance of autonomous vehicle. The test results show that position sensing can be useful for an autonomous robotic vehicle.
