IN-SITU REFERENCING FOR DIFFERENTIAL GPS CORRECTIONS IN IVHS (INTELLIGENT VEHICLE HIGHWAY SYSTEMS)

This report presents a method for generating differential Global Positioning System (GPS) corrections in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications using reference markers inserted in the roadway pavement. The proposed method, In-Situ-DGPS (IS-DGPS) uses magnetic nails as reference markers, embedded along the centerline of highway lanes. This system requires less roadway infrastructure and results in lower implementation cost. The report also outlines other benefits to the use of IS-DGPS.
