Description
This work focuses on the role of positioning systems in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), the major types of positioning systems, the relationship between them and the methods for evaluating their performance. It covers the construction and use of maps for positioning, addresses the Global Positioning System (GPS) and discusses emerging positioning technologies such as Quiktrack and cellular mobile telephones. Case studies further illustrate a method for analyzing ITS positioning requirements.
