A tightly coupled integration approach for cooperative positioning enhancement in DSRC vehicular networks

Intelligent transportation system significantly relies on accurate positioning information of land vehicles for both safety and non-safety related applications, such as hard-braking ahead warning and red-light violation warning. However, existing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based solut...
