Vehicular Node Localization Using Received-Signal-Strength Indicator

In this paper researchers describe an implementation of a cooperative collision warning system that uses an intervehicular communications system such as a dedicated short range communication (DSRC) device. By using a novel cooperative vehicle position estimation algorithm system that estimates intervehicle distance taken by radio ranging instead of the extant global positioning system (GPS) based systems, researchers hope to improve the accuracy and reliability of vehicle mapping. By detecting signal strength, sensor arrays on the deployed vehicles analyze the kinematics of local vehicles and then estimate the relative positioning of all vehicles within the cluster in question. An analysis of the presented algorithm is also provided, addressing issues such as performance bound, communication overhead requirements, and computational complexity.
