TLDR
A Kalman filter has been developed to integrate the three positioning systems (differential odometer dead reckoning, map matching, and GPS) used in the Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVL 2000) being designed and developed in the Department of Surveying Engineering at the University of Calgary as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
A Kalman filter has been developed to integrate the three positioning systems (differential odometer dead reckoning, map matching, and Global Positioning System or GPS) used in the Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVL 2000) being designed and developed in the Department of Surveying Engineering at the University of Calgary The system is being targeted for on road applications and incorporates a digital map The filter has been designed to take into account uncertainties via covariance matrices In wide-open spaces GPS positioning will dominate, while in zones where the GPS signal is obstructed, dead reckoning will be used as interpolation between GPS position fixes Simulation studies and covariance analyses have been performed on a test route located in a sector of the city of Calgary >

GPS vehicle collision avoidance warning and control system and method

TL;DR: In this article, an automotive auto-pilot mode is provided, which generates control signals which actuate a plurality of control systems of the one vehicle in a coordinated manner to maneuver it laterally and longitudinally to avoid each collision hazard, or, for motor vehicles, when a collision is unavoidable, to minimize injury or damage therefrom.

A Novel Approach to Automotive Navigation and Map Display

TL;DR: In this article, a novel approach to automatic navigation and map display is described, and a navigation and display system for cars is presented. But, in order for a navigation system to be both cost effective and useful in automobiles, solutions are needed to problems in navigation, map database, data storage, and display.

Satellite Navigation Systems for Land Vehicles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrated an experimental GPS receiver into a GM Buick Park Avenue, which was designed to acquire and sequentially track signals from four satellites, and presented the vehicle's precise latitude, longitude, and altitude on a color cathode ray tube (CRT) map display in the car's instrument panel.
