연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A time estimator determines a first aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a first beacon and receipt of a return signal, a second aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a second beacon and receipt of a return signal, and a third aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a third beacon and receipt of a return signal. A bias compensator compensates for bias delay associated with at least one of the first transmitter, the first beacon, the second beacon and the third beacon. A converter converts the first aggregate elapsed time, the second aggregate elapsed time, and the third aggregate elapsed time into position curves. A data processor estimates a position of the vehicle at a confluence or intersection of the position curves.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for determining the position of a vehicle, the method comprising: transmitting a first transmission signal from a transmitter at a vehicle toward three or more beacons associated with a work area; determining a first aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a first beacon and a return signal from the first beacon to the vehicle with compensation for a bias delay associated with the transmitter and compensation for a first bias delay associated with the first beacon; converting the first aggregate elapsed time into a first position curve in at least two spatial dimensions for vehicle; determining a second aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a second beacon and a return signal from the second beacon to the vehicle with compensation for the bias delay associated with the transmitter and compensation for a second bias delay associated with the second beacon; converting the second aggregate elapsed time into a second position curve in at least two spatial dimensions for vehicle; determining a third aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a third beacon and a return signal from the third beacon to the vehicle with compensation for the bias delay associated with the transmitter and compensation for a third bias delay associated with the third beacon; converting the third aggregate elapsed time into a third position curve in at least two spatial dimensions for vehicle; and estimating a position of the vehicle at a confluence or intersection of the first position curve, the second position curve, and the third position curve. 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the estimating comprises assigning an approximately equal weight to the first position curve, the second position curve, and the third position curve to estimate the position of the vehicle. 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the estimating comprises assigning differential weights to the first position curve, the second position curve, and the third position curve based on at least one probability density function for the first position curve, the second position curve and the third position curve to estimate the position of the vehicle. 4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the estimating comprises collecting a series of first position curves and averaging the series of first position curves over time; collecting a series of second position curves and averaging the series of first position curves over time; and collecting a series of third position curves and averaging the series of position curves over time to estimate the position of the vehicle. 5. The method according to claim 1 wherein the estimating comprises collecting a series of first position curves and fitting the first position curves to a generally linear progression over time, collecting a series of second position curves and fitting the second position curves to a generally linear progression over time, collecting a series of third position curves and fitting the third position curves to a generally linear progression over time in accordance with at least one of a least squares approach and a weighted least squares approach. 6. The method according to claim 1 wherein the first position curve is expressed as differential data to reflect only a change in the first position curve over time to minimize transmission of data associated with the beacons; the second position curve is expressed as differential data to reflect only a change in the second position curve over time to minimize the transmission of data associated with the beacons; the third position curve is expressed as differential data to reflect only a change in the third position curve over time to minimize the transmission of data associated with the beacons. 7. The method according to claim 6 wherein the differential data is transmitted from one beacon to another or between one beacon and the vehicle over a subcarrier channel associated with the beacons. 8. The method according to claim 6 wherein the differential data comprises an output of a radio frequency ranging system. 9. The method according to claim 1 further comprising: measuring a frequency shift in the first transmission at one or more of the beacons to estimate a vehicular speed or vehicular velocity; and discarding measured frequency shifts at any beacon that exceed a maximum vehicular velocity of the vehicle to reduce data processing requirements. 10. A system for determining the position of a vehicle, the system comprising: a first transmitter for transmitting a first transmission signal from a transmitter at a vehicle toward three or more beacons associated with a work area; a time estimator for determining a first aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a first beacon and a return signal from the first beacon to the vehicle, a second aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a second beacon and a return signal from the second beacon to the vehicle, a third aggregate elapsed time between the transmission of the first transmission signal to a third beacon and a return signal from the third beacon to the vehicle; a bias compensator for compensation for bias delay associated with the transmitter, a first bias delay associated with the first beacon, a second bias delay associated with the second beacon, and a third bias delay associated with the third beacon; a converter for converting the first aggregate elapsed time into a first position curve in at least two spatial dimensions for vehicle, the second aggregate elapsed time into a second position curve in at least two spatial dimensions for vehicle, and the third aggregate elapsed time into a third position curve in at least two spatial dimensions for vehicle; and a data processor for estimating a position of the vehicle at a confluence or intersection of the first position curve, the second position curve, and the third position curve. 11.
