We propose a pseudo-noise (PN) code to be carried by the magnetic markers. The PN code will be used by vehicles for range measurement. Every vehicle is provided with the code layout on the road with respect to the physical location of every binary magnetic signal. A vehicle has a replica of the signal and measures the phase of the received signal with respect to the replica and infers its position on the road. The positioning accuracy is subject to design and depends on the magnetic markers layout on the road. The probability of error with short range magnetic signals is negligible compared with radio navigation systems. Unlike radio signals, magnetic codes do not interfere, and multipath is not an issue. However, errors do exist and an attractive feature of the method is its error detection capability. Errors can be detected and corrected shortly after they occur and the error detection and correction delays are subject to design. Error bounds can also be specified with respect to the signal code design.","PeriodicalId":173372,"journal":{"name":"ITSC 2001. 2001 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems. Proceedings (Cat.

ICT is an important instrument for promoting transport over water. It can provide inland shipping with a competitive edge over road transport. In Europe, a concept for harmonised Vessel Traffic Management Information Services to support traffic management in inland navigation has been recently developed under the name of River Information Services (RIS). These services also provide Value Added Information Services and interfaces to other transport modes. This concept has been further detailed in the European INDRIS project, which started in 1998. The INDRIS project started by describing the functions of RIS for all potential users (public authorities and transport industry) and specifying relevant information processes. These information processes are the basis to develop a set of open standards for information exchange among public authorities and inland shipping parties. Standards were defined for content and for communication. Information exchange in RIS is usually between shore and ship. Consequently, the wireless data-communication is used. The standards set in INDRIS have been submitted to the European Commission to achieve a wide acceptance, making use of the forums that are capable to discuss and adopt these standards.","PeriodicalId":173372,"journal":{"name":"ITSC 2001. 2001 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems.

There are three main factors in this system: the DCSK signal itself, the additive channel noise and the noise reduction module. To avoid the variance in the DCSK signal and the signal reduction that is caused by additive channel noise, a novel DCSK scheme with a chaotic polyphase sequence (CPS) is presented. Simulation results show that the noise performance of this novel DCSK slightly degrades in contrast with frequency-modulated (FM) DCSK for the estimation variance of the noise reduction scheme. However, this design can be implemented easily.","PeriodicalId":173372,"journal":{"name":"ITSC 2001. 2001 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems. Proceedings (Cat.

The previous results pertained to pose classification using a non-parametric eigenface approach. Although the eigenface approach yielded impressive results, there were certain types of mis-classification errors that could be eliminated perhaps by using a different approach. In this paper, classification results obtained by another non-parametric approach, namely Fisherfaces, are compared with the eigenface approach. These results show that Fisherfaces outperform eigenfaces.","PeriodicalId":173372,"journal":{"name":"ITSC 2001. 2001 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems. Proceedings (Cat.

The control concept used for plants with model uncertainties in a form of a standard H/sub /spl infin// control task is described. The resulting longitudinal and lateral control laws for non-identical vehicles are discussed concerning the varying vehicle parameters. The first practical results with one of the control law for longitudinal and lateral dynamics of non-identical autonomous vehicles are presented.

The main attention was given to the investigation of the various factors influencing the capacity of congestion/maintenance sites.
