An approach to the problem is to combine a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation receiver with traditional dead reckoning systems, and to use processing to calculate the current position. Some problems connected with such an approach, concerning optimal hardware and software organization, and relevant data processing strategy, are discussed.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"142 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":"127569248","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}

Emphasis is placed on drivers' preferences for traveler information in support of diversion decisions. In particular, the effects of different trip types on drivers' information needs are examined using several approaches, including factor and discriminant analysis. The findings, while revealing some consistency between drivers' reported information needs for diversion decisions, also reveal significant differences in these needs by trip type. Time thresholds for determining when to divert are analyzed. Significant differences by trip type are found. The major recommendation arising from the analysis is development of an advanced traveler information system (ATIS) that can be customized to meet users' needs.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"52 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":"128797151","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}

The basic idea of this algorithm is to introduce the Euclidean distance as a value for each cell in the discretized workspace. The moving obstacles are represented by a time-varying set of cells, whose values are multiplied by a factor greater than unity representing the virtual distance. Collision-free trajectory is calculated by finding the lowest value of the eight neighbor cells. This algorithm can easily work when the mobile robot objective is moving, even in the presence of a complex environment, and can also be extended to path planning in three dimensions. The usefulness of this algorithm is shown by simulation.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"256 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":"115268013","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}
