GPS ERROR MANAGEMENT FOR AUTOMATED VELOCITY PROFILE PLANNING OF VEHICLES
University of Siegen developed recently a Velocity Profile Planning Module (VPPM) to support the drivers during the ride on the road. The main task of this module is to adjust the velocity of a vehicle to the road parameters. So, in front of a bend the velocity must be reduced automatically in time and behind the bend the car can speed up again. In order to realize this, the road data and the current position of the vehicle have to be known for the Velocity Planning Module. Thus, the data of roads are stored in a database, and the current position of the vehicles are determined by a Global Position System (GPS) receiver. The problem is that the position given by GPS contains errors falsifying the correct position, was unavoidable during implementation of the Profile Planning module. This paper presents a strategy on how the fact of GPS errors can be opposed.
