Popis: This paper presents the Visual Protocol System (VPS), a new approach for vehicle location. VPS has three components: a protocol for the presentation and interpretation of information within visual scene standards for roadway labels, and an in-vehicle system designed to implement the visual protocol and feed information to an in-vehicle navigation system. The advantages to this proposed concept are that it has a low cost when compared with active roadside beacons, and the added advantage of multiple use potential and expandability when compared with single-use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.
