Japan and the United States are the leaders in developing systems, with the second grouping of countries being Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. Various positioning technologies such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), the Radio Determination Satellite System RDSS, dead reckoning, signposts, map matching, and terrestrial RF systems are used more in some countries than in others, and these trends are reported. Countries in some regional blocks use certain positioning technologies more prominently than those used in other blocks. Examples of novel systems in the four basic categories (autonomous, fleet management, advisory, and inventory) are given to illustrate the trend toward specific market penetration and thus the diversity among systems. A brief description of future trends is given.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115687745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two different types of displays are compared: a traditional map display is used that shows the route to follow from a bird's eye view and in a global coordinate system; and a novel perspective display is developed that represents the driving instructions in a driver-centered coordinate system. Three related experiments are conducted, and the results indicate that a display that provides the driving instructions in a driver-centered framework performs best. These results lead to the proposal of a further display that combines the attractive features of both the map and the perspective display, thereby providing drivers with both a driver-centered and a global perspective.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"236 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115107683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A part of this framework is implemented in a real world environment in the vicinity of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. In this pilot several applications will be implemented, i.e., network state monitoring and prediction, weigh-in-motion and weather monitoring and prediction.

The vehicle-following distance is calculated from the amount of time required for beams to go and return.
