Theoretical And Empirical Analysis Of Path Magnetic Lane Tracking For The Intelligent Vehicle Highway System

Abstract

This report characterizes the statistical performance of the magnetic nails concept for estimating the positions of vehicles within their marked lanes. The report also presents a mathematical model for sensor noise due to the distortions of the earth field by regular patterns of ferrous reinforcing bars in the pavement.
