    Abstract: In Intelligent Vehicle Infrastructure Cooperative Systems (IVICS), a high-precision vehicle positioning method utilizing Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) is proposed. Owing to remarkable wide band of radio signal, this UWB-based positioning method shows excellent anti-interference capability and multi-path immunity, which are essential for achieving high precision in practical traffic scenario. In this approach, several UWB nodes are deliberately deployed at the crossing with the help of roadside infrastructure in IVICS. Meanwhile, an algorithm aiming at Non Line of Sight (NLOS) error compensation is developed to improve the positioning performance. In a word, this method has been demonstrated the potential to achieve accurate, reliable, continuous and integrated localization.

    Abstract: The traffic monitoring system is provided with: a camera which captures an image of a monitoring area including a road and generates image data; a millimeter-wave radar which scans a scanning area included in the monitoring area and generates millimeter-wave data; and an information processing server which is connected to the camera and the millimeter-wave radar and acquires the image data and the millimeter-wave data. The information processing server is provided with: a data synchronization unit which synchronizes the image data with the millimeter-wave data so that the difference between a timing at which the image data is generated and a timing at which the millimeter-wave data is generated is equal to or smaller than a certain value; and a screen generation unit which associates the image data and the millimeter wave, which have been synchronized, with each other and generates a monitoring screen that indicates the road conditions.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for radar-based object discovery and airspace data collection and management. In some examples, a data service system deploys radars across geographic areas based on a respective radar detection range of the radars and a coverage parameter for the geographic areas, wherein each of the radars is configured to detect object parameters within the respective radar detection range. The data service system collects the object parameters from the radars, determines weather conditions and/or airspace regulations associated with the geographic areas, and models airspace conditions for the geographic areas based on the object parameters and the weather conditions and/or airspace regulations.

    Abstract: A ground map monitor method comprises obtaining positions of communication nodes in a communications network, selecting transmission and reception nodes from the communication nodes, and measuring bistatic signals between the transmission and reception nodes to determine nominal signal performance characteristics for the bistatic signals, including reflected signal time delays, frequency shifts, and power levels. The method further comprises monitoring the bistatic signals for changes to nominal signal performance characteristics. The method uses discriminators between the nominal signal performance characteristics and a current performance level of the bistatic signals, and compares the discriminators against performance thresholds, to determine whether current signal performance characteristics have varied from their nominal levels. An alert signal is broadcast that a section of a navigation map is not useable for navigation of a vehicle if changes in the current performance level of the bistatic signals exceeds the performance thresholds.
