Features: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the working principles and various combination methods of vehicle positioning and navigation systems. The book consists of 7 chapters, including an overview of vehicle positioning and navigation technology, discussing the development and trends of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) both domestically and internationally, evaluation indicators for positioning accuracy, and analyzing various currently applied positioning and navigation methods. These include the basic principles, basic components, error analysis, testing and modeling of major sensors, as well as intelligent dead reckoning systems (DRS); satellite navigation systems, primarily describing the basic positioning principles of the Global Positioning System (GPS), signal acquisition and format conversion, error models, GPS compass, and Russia's GLONASS satellite navigation system; map matching (MM) technology, explaining the electronic maps used in matching, road selection algorithms, and various factors affecting matching accuracy; wireless positioning technology based on mobile communications, discussing the feasibility of wireless positioning within a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) cell; applying various Kalman filtering techniques to combine GPS, DRS, MM, and other methods based on Time of Arrival (TOA) in cellular networks, significantly improving system accuracy and reliability. The book also introduces the simulation platform for GPS/DRS/MM integrated navigation systems and path planning algorithms and simulations in ITS. This book emphasizes the integration of theory and engineering practice in vehicle positioning and navigation systems. It is highly targeted and serves as a summary of research, scientific, and engineering practices. It can be used as both a technical reference book and training material for promoting and popularizing vehicle positioning and navigation systems, as well as a teaching or reference book for undergraduate and graduate students in relevant fields.
