Abstract :
Accurate and reliable vehicle localization is a key component of numerous automotive and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications, including active vehicle safety systems, real time estimation of traffic conditions, and high occupancy tolling. Various safety critical vehicle applications in particular, such as collision avoidance or mitigation, lane change management or emergency braking assistance systems, rely principally on the accurate and reliable knowledge of vehicles? positioning within given vicinity.
