This work focuses on the role of positioning systems in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), the major types of positioning systems, the relationship between them and the methods for evaluating their performance. It covers the construction and use of maps for positioning, addresses the Global Positioning System (GPS) and discusses emerging positioning technologies such as Quiktrack and cellular mobile telephones. Case studies further illustrate a method for analyzing ITS positioning requirements.

About the Author
Chris Drane is a professor of computer systems engineering at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. He holds a Ph.D. in applied physics from the University of Sydney. He first started working on vehicle tracking systems in the early 1980s and has worked on many different types of positioning systems since that time. In 1996 he was an international fellow at ITS America. Chris Rizos is an associate professor at the School of Geomatic Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Australia, where he also earned a Ph.D. in satellite geodesy. Dr. Rizos has nearly 20 years of research experience in satellite geodesy, physical geodesy, and Global Positioning Systems. He also co-authored the first surveying textbook on GPS in 1987.
