Title
Automated Lane Identification Using Precise Point Positioning An Affordable And Accurate Gps Technique
Abstract
Nowadays, many vehicles are equipped with GPS navigation systems, that are accurate to approximately 10 meters. This is insufficient to determine the lane a vehicle is driving in. We introduce a new technique, Precise Point Positioning, which is able to get the accuracy of measurement down to approximately half a meter, without having to resort to expensive high-end GPS receivers. This accuracy is possible with a single measurement of position in real-time. We confirm this accuracy in a real-life test with a vehicle driving at motorway speeds. However, even when the vehicle position is known, the driving lane is not known since there are generally no maps with detailed lane information. Therefore, this paper also presents a self-learning method, using this Precise Point Positioning information, to create maps which include the position of lanes. This method is tested using an artificially created dataset, using the accuracies from the real-world test. This shows that the method can get the position of a lane at an accuracy of 20 cm. The combination of accurate information of the position of a vehicle and information about the position of the lane, can be used to give lane-specific advice for drivers, and can even be a step towards automated driving.
