Minimizing Position Error in a Car Navigation System by fusing GPS and Dead-Reckoning
Hyuck-Joong Lee, Chang‐Ho Lee, Kwang-Ik Kim · Journal of Korean Society for Geospatial Information System · 1994
The CNS(Car Navigation System) is used more generally in driver aid system than ALV(Auto nomous Land Vehicle) research area. In this paper we developed a new position tracking algorithm for the Global Path Planning in the CNS. In japan, CNS is already well developed and, thesedays they sell CNS products about thousands per year, and USA and European Communications(EC), too. In Korea, studies of the first generation CNS, which finds current location of a navigating vehicle and displays its location in a Digital-Map with real-time are progressing but still in the beginning step. Therefore a new position tracking algorithm is presented, which reduces vehicle position error dramatically by fusing GPS and dead-reckoning sensors. And the validity of our algorithm is demonstrated by the experimental results with the real car.
