Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining absolute vehicle position in vehicle navigation systems.
- vehicle navigation systems a vehicle's position is determined tlirough the accumulation of data gathered by various navigation sensors.
- Typical navigation sensors include compasses to measure the absolute vehicle heading relative to the earth's magnetic field; gyroscopes and differential odometers to measure the vehicle's relative heading; and odometers to measure the absolute distance traveled by the vehicle. Errors in vehicle position result from the accumulation of measurement errors by each of the sensors. Compass measurements are affected by magnetic anomalies such as steel bridges or buildings. Gyroscopes .and differential odometers tend to have higher resolution, but their outputs are subject to drifting phenomena. As these measurement errors accumulate, the error in the vehicle position calculated by the navigation system increases.
- Map matching uses geometrical similarities in its decision making process.
- the navigation system compares the current vehicle trajectory to street geometries near the currently stored vehicle position. The system then corrects the vehicle position to the location which most closely matches the vehicle's trajectory.
- the system seiches its internal map data base in the vicinity of the most recently calculated vehicle position to find street candidates which lie in the direction in which the vehicle is currently headed.
- the vehicle's heading, speed, and distance traveled are continuously monitored and compared to the geometry of the current "list" of street candidates. As the geometry of each street diverges from the vehicle's calculated trajectory, that street is eliminated as a possible location. This process continues until all streets are eliminated except one. That street is then stored as the current location of the vehicle.
- Map matching has proven to be an effective position error correction technique in an urban environment.
- the nature of city streets provides a constant flow of information from the navigation sensors to the system because of the distinct character of the vehicle's trajectory.
- the relatively high number of significant navigation events e.g., turns
- the short distances between such events result in a relatively accurate calculation of the vehicle's trajectory and thus a good approximation of the vehicle's absolute position.
- a vehicle navigation system and method determines the absolute position of a vehicle with improved accuracy over simple map matching techniques.
- the system first stores a known vehicle position in its memory. As the vehicle moves away from the known position, the system monitors external signals such as the geomagnetic field or GPS signal availability. When a change in the external signals occurs because of a nearby landmark, the system uses the location of the landmark to set the vehicle's position.
- the system's processing means examines a map data base, attempting to fix the position of the sensed landmark with respect to the initially stored known position. When the system identifies the most likely landmark, the position of the vehicle is then reset to that position. This technique can be thought of as "phenomenon matching.”
- the invention may simultaneously use more than one scheme for sensing external phenomena so that protection may be afforded against failures to sense existing phenomena as well as false positives.
- One embodiment uses the availability of GPS signals for error correction.
- the navigation system employs a GPS receiver which receives continuous transmissions from GPS satellites. As the vehicle travels under a freeway overpass, the navigation system will experience a momentary loss of the GPS signal. The system can then assume that the vehicle has passed under an overpass and proceed to pinpoint its absolute position. The system's decision-making process can be suitably modified to lessen the probability of the system mistaking other phenomena for freeway overpasses.
- the system uses the signal output of a geomagnetic field sensor (e.g., compass) to detect perturbations caused by landmarks such as bridges, tunnels, overpasses, or geologic formations.
- the compass signal output is compared to the signal output of a relative heading sensor such as a gyroscope to identify changes in the compass output caused by these landmarks rather than actual changes in heading.
- a relative heading sensor such as a gyroscope
- y(k) is the magnetic anomaly index
- k is the current sample time
- a are auto-regressive coefficients
- b j .are moving-average coefficients
- u(k) is the difference between the compass signal and the gyroscope signal, the input to the ARMA filter.
- the system is also capable of recalibrating its distance measurement apparatus using the distance between two sensed landmarks as stored in the map data base.
- the system uses its distance measurement apparatus (e.g., odometer) to measure the distance from one landmark sensing event to another.
- the system's processor after it has identified the landmarks, can compare the measured distance to ⁇ e distance stored in the map data base between the two events. The ratio of these two qu.antities can then be used to correct for any future errors in distance measurement.

- Fig. 5 is a flowchart representing the use of overpass detection data to calibrate the distance measuring apparatus of the navigation system.
- die present invention provides a vehicle navigation system which uses a map matching technique in conjunction wid GPS signal availability and magnetic anomaly detection for determining vehicle position.
- diis embodiment calculates a distance calibration factor to achieve more accurate distance measurement for subsequent navigation.
- Figs. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a vehicle navigation system 10.
- vehicle navigation system 10 includes a plurality of sensors for determining vehicle position, including a distance sensor 12, angular velocity sensor 14 and geomagnetic sensor 16.
- the distance sensor 12 comprises an odometer; the .angular velocity sensor 14 comprises a gyroscope, or a differential odometer coupled to the wheels of the vehicle; and the geomagnetic sensor 16 usually comprises a magnetic compass mounted in the vehicle.
- a glob-d positioning system (GPS) data receiver 18 is provided for receiving signals from, for example, a satellite-based navigation system.
- Data from sensors 12-16 is fed to the computing means 20, and adjusted to compensate for sensor measurement errors in the calibration means 22.
- the calibrated sensor data is transmitted to the signal processing means 24, which uses the sensor measurement data to calculate a vector describing the travel of the vehicle from a previously determined position to the measured position. This vector is then used to determine a dead-reckoned position of me vehicle by dead-reckoning means 26. The dead-reckoned position is then forwarded to map matching means 28, which compares the dead-reckoned position to a map data base 30.
- the map data base 30 preferably comprises positional data such as, for example, latitude and longitude coordinates, to describe road intersections, road segments, landmarks and points of interest, and otiier geographical information.
- the data base 30 may further comprise data representing characteristics of roads or places on the map, such as road and place names, road features such as dividers, one-way restrictions, surface, speed limit, shape, elevation, and otiier properties.
- the data typically is stored in digital form on a storage medium such as an optical disk, magnetic disk or integrated circuit.
- vehicle positioning module 28 uses the data stored in data base 30, to generate one or more possible positions of the vehicle by comparing the dead- reckoned position to die road segments, intersections, .and other geographical locations stored in d e data base 30.
- the position possibilities are tiien provided to the route guidance module 36.
- the route guidance module 36 filters the set of position possibilities and selects from the remaining position possibilities a position deemed to be die current position of the vehicle.
- the preferred embodiment of vehicle navigation system 10 uses data from me GPS receiver 18 to provide a more accurate determination of vehicle position on freeways, rural highways, and otiier locales where there are fewer roads, intersections, or landmarks by which to adjust vehicle position. Fig.
- 3 is a flowchart 60 illustrating the GPS signal availability technique of the invention.
- the system continuously checks for the availability of GPS signals (62). When GPS becomes unavailable, the system then checks if it was available for an arbitrary past period (64) (3 seconds is used as an example). This step serves to filter out false detection events such as signal blockages caused by nearby trucks. If GPS was available for the past period, but is currently unavailable, the system then checks the map data base in the vicinity of the last known vehicle position for the existence of an overpass which would explain the sudden loss of GPS (66). If such an overpass exists within a reasonable distance, the system then concludes that the vehicle has passed under that overpass and die vehicle's position is reset to the position of the overpass (68).
- GPS signals are unavailable for extended periods of time. Additionally, if a vehicle passes under a tree or drives near a large truck the GPS signals may be blocked resulting in a false indication of an overpass. Because the above described technique is ultimately dependent upon the continued presence of GPS signals, it is frequently desirable to utilize an additional sensing scheme in parallel.
- One such scheme involves die use of the navigation system's compass as a kind of magnetometer to sense perturbations in die earth's magnetic field due to local phenomena, such as freeway overpasses, which are largely constructed of steel.
- Compass measurements are known to be affected by local magnetic anomalies and often exhibit high frequency noise as a result of such anomalies. By comparing the compass measurements with relative heading measurements obtained from die system's gyroscope or differential odometer, it is possible to detect this high frequency noise.
- die system can then proceed to determine die absolute position of the vehicle using the most recendy calculated vehicle position and its internal map.
- the vehicle navigation system 10 uses die magnetic detection of freeway overpasses to more accurately determine vehicle position.
- a navigation system's compass exhibits high frequency noise in the vicinity of landmarks causing large magnetic anomalies such as bridges, overpasses, tunnels, geologic formations, and otiier structures with magnetic properties.
- the system 10 compares data from its compass (e.g., geomagnetic sensor 16) and gyroscope (e.g., angular velocity sensor 14) and calculates a magnetic anomaly index. Sharp increases in die magnetic anomaly index indicate die presence of a landmark.
- Fig. 4 is a flowchart 70 of the metiiod by which the system calculates the magnetic anomaly index.
- the system samples both the compass signal and die gyroscope signal at appropriate intervals (e.g., every 0.5 seconds).
- die gyroscope only measures die relative displacement of die vehicle, the gyroscope signal cannot be directiy compared to die compass heading measurement. Instead, the system calculates the differential compass heading (rel_compass) by subtracting die previous compass signal from die current compass signal (72).
- the difference between the differential compass heading and me gyroscope measurement (74) will be large because of the high amplitude noise in die compass signal.
- the difference between the differential compass heading and die gyroscope signal is filtered using a digital signal processing (DSP) technique (76).
- DSP digital signal processing
- the system uses an auto-regressive, moving-average (ARMA) filter, altiiough otiier digital filter types may be used to generate an appropriate magnetic anomaly index (78).
- ARMA auto-regressive, moving-average
- the ARMA filter has die following form: y(k) a,y(k-l) + ... + a professiony(k-m) + b ⁇ ⁇ (k) + b,u(k-l) + ... + b consumeru(k-n) m
- y(k) is the magnetic anomaly index
- k is die current sample time
- a are auto-regressive coefficients
- b j are moving-average coefficients
- m is the number of past y(k) values included in die present value (typically m
- n D
- n 4
- u(k) is the difference between the compass signal and die gyroscope signal, the input to the ARMA filter.
- the moving-average part of die filter can be used to average out die high frequency transient of the difference signal, while the auto-regressive part provides the filter with fast response.
- the location of die detected magnetic anomaly is then stored as die current vehicle location.
- Fig. 5 is a flow chart 80 illustrating the distance calibration technique carried out in a preferred embodiment.
- die system When an overpass is detected (82) using GPS availability or magnetic anomaly detection (described below), die system sets a distance accumulation variable, L, to zero (84). The system then continuously updates L, storing the accumulated travel distance from the last reset (86). Upon die detection of a second overpass (88), the system compares the distance traveled, as represented by L, witii the known distance between the two overpasses, LI , as stored in the system ' s internal map (90). The ratio L ⁇ L1 can then be used to adjust subsequent distance measurements (92). Referring back to Fig. 1 , the user may select a desired destination which is input dirough user interface 34, typically comprising a keyboard.
- Route guidance module 36 compares the selected destination witii the data in database 30 and identifies the selected destination among me map data. Route guidance module 36 then calculates an optimum route between the initial position of die vehicle and die desired destination, taking account of distances, road speeds, one-way streets, and, in some embodiments, variable data such as traffic information or road construction work.
- the selected route comprises a set of data representing die road segments, intersections, building structures, and geographical features between the initial position of the vehicle and the desired destination.
- the current vehicle position selected from die position possibilities provided by vehicle positioning means 28 is compared to the data making up the selected route, to locate the position of die vehicle with respect to die route. The driver of the vehicle is kept informed of vehicle position, upcoming maneuvers, and other relevant information dirough an output communication means 32, which may comprise a display screen or an audio speaker.
- Fig. 2 schematically illustrates an exemplary embodiment of die hardware of computing means 20.
- Sensors 12 to 16 and GPS receiver 18 are coupled to computing means 20 dirough sensor/GPS interface 40.
- Data from interface 40 is transmitted to CPU 42, which performs the calibration, signal processing, dead-reckoning, vehicle positioning, and route guidance functions described above.
- Data base 30 may be stored in storage medium 48, with software directing die operation of computing means 20 stored in ROM 44 for execution by CPU 42.
- RAM 46 permits reading and writing of e information necessary to execute such software programs.
- Storage medium 48 may comprise a hard disk drive, CD-ROM or integrated circuit onto which digitized map information has been stored.
- Output controller 52 which may comprise a graphics controller for a display screen, receives data processed by CPU 42 and transmits such data to output commumcator 32, usually comprising a display screen.
- the user may input data, such as a desired destination, through user interface 34, typically comprising a keyboard.
