DEVELOPMENT OF THE HIGH ACCURACY VEHICLE POSITION DETECTION

The AHS (Advanced cruise-assist Highway Systems) provides information to the driver gathered from sensors positioned along the road; in addition, it can aid in the operation of the vehicle by controlling steering, brakes, etc., depending on the situation. The goals of AHS are to ease the burden on the driver by assisting in the operation of the vehicle, improve safety by decreasing the number of accidents, and contribute to society by increasing transportation efficiency. The ability to detect moving vehicles is an essential component of the development of an AHS. The detection of moving vehicles requires the simultaneous detection of multiple vehicles moving at a high rate of speed, as well as the determination of their positions in real time. In order to develop this function, an evaluation system is necessary. The evaluation system must be constructed with a distinct operating system, and must make highly accurate positional measurements. To this aim, the authors have developed and examined such an evaluation system by the request of the Ministry of Construction's Public Works Research Institute. The test consists of measuring and tracking the position of a test vehicle with a high degree of accuracy. This evaluation system was named the High Accuracy Vehicle Position Detector.
