Abstract :
A vehicle location searching algorithm is described which uses phase ranging data from several base stations to calculate the position of the transmitter. The search algorithm is based on geographical partition and local optimization. Computer simulation shows that the algorithm gives fast, stable, and accurate results in a multipath transmission environment
