Innovative Approaches for Next Generation Vehicle Positioning - Phase I

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-09-0062
Project Abstract:

This project will be completed in two phases. The initial phase of this project will investigate a range of viable approaches that could provide lane-level positioning accuracy in diverse driving environments, satisfying the needs of accuracy, availability, continuity, and low cost. This initial phase will assess the viability, benefits, limitations, and obstacles for different approaches based on technological, business, and deployment characteristics. The second phase will include the testing of several of the viable approaches. This phase would extend for two years, where prototype systems would be developed and tested that integrate a variety of sensors (e.g., global navigation satellite systems, inertial, feature-based) along with ground-based radio positioning (e.g., dedicated short range communications).
