Innovative Approaches for Next Generation Vehicle Positioning

The initial phase will assess the viability, benefits, limitations, and obstacles for different approaches based on technological, business, and deployment characteristics. In particular, the research will focus the phase I research on how public and cooperative vehicle infrastructure can serve as additional augmentation mechanisms to improve vehicle positioning. A second phase will include the testing of several of the viable approaches.
