Nonlinear constrained tracking of targets on roads

Airborne behaviour monitoring using Gaussian processes with map information

“…To represent the behaviour of the ground vehicle travelling on the road, a 1-D representation of the vehicle's position is introduced using the similar approach as in [23]. The ground target trajectory when in traverse of a road-network can be modelled as curved segments connected with arcs of different curvature, and a moving target can be located uniquely using the time, street name (a road segment), and street number (distance relative to a starting point on the street).…”

“…4. The location of the vehicle is determined by its distance from a starting point which will be referred as a mileage count [23]. Assuming multiple n r roads are connected in serial in the region of interest, a 2-D point (x, y) on the curved road can be expressed using the mileage count s i as:…”

Ontology alignment in geographical hard-soft information fusion systems

“…Information fusion can address issues of increased spatial coverage, uncertainty reduction, and data aggregation to aid a user in decision making. One example from GIS is to overlay GPS traffic information reports on maps such as tracking targets on roads [58] or group tracking [59].…”

Integrating Spline Curves in Road Constraint Object Tracking

“…The second class of concepts formulates the dynamic behaviour in local curve coordinates [3] [6]. If the representation of the road network fulfils several preconditions this strategy yields in robust results.…”
