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 mobile transmitter transmits a transmission signal from a vehicle to beacons. An estimator determines elapsed times for corresponding propagation paths between the vehicle and the beacons. Each propagation path includes at least one of a first propagation duration of a transmission signal and a second propagation duration of a return signal. A compensator compensates for noise or measurement error associated with a corresponding propagation path by invoking a linear fit scheme. The linear fit scheme applies a generally linear fit over fixed intervals of noisy measurements such that the noisy position measurements generally conform to a linear portion of a path plan of a vehicle. A data processor estimates a position of a vehicle at a confluence or intersection of the position curves or temporal curves based on elapsed times for the propagation paths.

The method according to claim 1, wherein if the linear portion of the path plan is defined by the line equation: y=mx+b, where m is the estimated slope to be optimized and b is the estimated y axis intercept (of the line) to be optimized, where the x axis and y axis are perpendicular to each other, then the least squares estimates for the parameter values are m = ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ ( x i - x _ ) ⁢ ( y i - y _ ) ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ ( x i - x _ ) 2 and b= y−m x, where the bar over the x and y indicate an arithmetic mean value of x and y, respectively, where n is the total number of measurement values averaged, values of xi are the predictor variables, and i is a measurement value which ranges from 1 to n, where n is positive whole number. 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the estimating comprises assigning an approximately equal weight to the position curves or equal weight to the temporal curves to estimate the position of the vehicle. 4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the estimating comprises assigning differential weights to the position curves based on at least one probability density function for the position curves to estimate the position of the vehicle. 5.

The method according to claim 1 wherein the compensating further comprises applying bias delay compensation to a turn-around paging scenario, in which a transmission is transmitted from the vehicle to one of the beacons, and then a return transmission is transmitted from the beacon back to the vehicle, by making a deduction for lag within each beacon. 8. The method according to claim 6 wherein the bias compensation deducts a delay for one or more of the following: (a) processing of the transmission and generation of the return signal at the beacon, (b) receiving the return signal at the vehicle, and (c) processing of the return signal at the vehicle. 9.
