    Abstract: A system for golf course vehicle management can include a tag device having a transceiver and a vehicle management process. The vehicle management process includes an application service for receiving the location of the tag device from the transceiver, at least one geographical zone, and a tracking module for comparing the location to the zone and generating an alert when the location is within the zone. Also included in the process is a control module for recognizing the alert. The control module can initiate an action, such as performance of a vehicle control action by a vehicle controller device.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed for determining precise locations of the golf carts on a golf course in real time as the carts are in use during play of the course. Each cart is outfitted with a dead reckoning navigation (DRN) system for determining speed and direction, and a compass for determining heading of the cart during play. With these parameters and a known origin of the cart to which the DRN system has been calibrated, such as location of a tee box, the location of the cart relative to a known feature of the course such as a cup or hazard may be calculated. The DRN system uses a magnetic wheel sensor assembly having a magnetic strip with spaced alternating opposite magnetic poles affixed to the rim of an inside wheel well or mounting fixture therefor of the cart, mounted to confront a Hall effect sensor. During rotation of the wheel and the strip when the cart is moving, the sensor detects passage of the alternating poles, to measure speed and forward or backward direction of the cart. A compass determines heading of the cart. The DRN system allows operation on courses where GPS-based systems cannot maintain LOS, and is periodically calibrated by a known signal, such as a DGPS signal.
