Vehicle navigator system

摘要

A vehicle navigator system for monitoring the state characteristics of a vehicle traveling on a vehicle route is disclosed. In particular, the vehicle navigator system may utilize a measuring device such as an inertial measurement unit and a navigator on board the vehicle to calculate state characteristics of the vehicle. The vehicle navigator system may utilize a plurality of physical tags and a Global Positioning System to assist with the collapsing of accumulated error within the vehicle navigator system. The accuracy of the vehicle navigational system is increased with the number of physical tags positioned along the vehicle route. The vehicle navigator system in accordance with the present invention additionally includes a pattern recognition analyzer such as a neural network to calculate a plurality of virtual tags adjacent the vehicle route for increasing the accuracy of the system without increasing the number of physical tags utilized in the system. <IMAGE>
