AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LOCATING SYSTEMS

The six principle commercial AVL systems - what they are and how they can be put to practical use - are fully discussed in this book, which satisfies specialized needs shared in the fields of public safety, mass transportation and system design engineering. Both field tested applications for AVL technology and new AVL systems are clearly demonstrated for use in metropolitan areas. The author shows how to determine the level of position estimation accuracy on characteristics, how to avoid major design problems and conduct a detailed error analysis, and how to utilize fundamental error equations for commercially available AVL systems. Analytical models and graphic aids are provided throughout the book.
