LAND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

This paper briefly describes the technologies suitable for the navigation of motorists in a road network. The factors that have contributed to the slow adoption of these technologies are identified. These include: appropriateness, usefulness, cost and accuracy. This paper proposes a vehicle location system that employs low cost dead reckoning (DR) units, together with satellite global positioning.
