Abstract

The most driving purpose is to traverse to the destination safely, efficiently, and comfortably. Two types of approaches could achieve the goals, including the static and dynamic approaches. In the static aspect, vehicles use the static road and traffic information to navigate. Conversely, in the dynamic aspect, vehicles adopt the dynamic information instead. However, both of the two approaches first require getting the vehicle’s location and then map the position on an e-map. Thus, this chapter first introduces some important vehicle location determination algorithms: the dead reckoning and global position system algorithms, in which the precision of location technologies are compared. Then, the map-matching algorithm is described in detail. Finally, various vehicle navigation approaches are detailed, in which the important topics include: the navigation architecture, the navigation routing algorithm, and navigation applications.
