RFID-Based Positioning System for Telematics Location-Aware Applications

Abstract

Positioning accuracy is an essential factor for many location-aware applications. This study designs an RFID-based positioning system for telematics location-aware applications. If a passenger in a vehicle loses a wallet with an RFID tag attached, then an RFID reader can be adopted to detect the tag, and thus find the wallet. Performance analysis results indicate that the proposed RFID-based positioning system has a distance error of less than 1.64 m, and an accuracy rate at least 13.24% higher than the common LANDMARC approach. These results indicate that the RFID operations in telematics positioning applications have high-accuracy location-awareness.

Survey of connected automated vehicle perception mode: from autonomy to interaction

“…To apply the vehicle communication in a complex traffic environment, IEEE started to develop the relevant protocol standard, called WAVE (wireless access in vehicular environment), as early as 2004 [47, 48]. Ma et al [49] studied communication‐based high‐precision car networking position‐sensing systems with the error <1.64 m. Yoo et al [50] implemented a parking guidance system that learns parking spaces status and processes information using wireless sensor network to determine the optimal parking space.…”

Indoor localization algorithm based on artificial neural network and radio-frequency identification reference tags

“…By comparing different values between tracking tags and reference tags from multiple readers, the coordination values of tracking tags could be estimated with an empirical weighted formula. Ma et al 15 improved the location accuracy using reference tags in an application of LANDMARC technology on vehicle locations. However, the location accuracy was sensitive to the distribution of tags and readers, the number of nearest neighbors was determined empirically and the weights were affected by the density of the tags.…”
