Abstract

The Real time locating system (RTLS) determines and tracks the location of assets and people. This paper presents a novel application to estimate the position and velocity of vehicle using wireless sensor network. Two Anchor nodes are used as reader along roadside and total distance between them is known. Whenever a moving vehicle with tag comes in between the common part of the operating range of two anchor nodes, exchange of information is done using Symmetric double sided two way ranging algorithm, which gives us position information. Using position information at several interval of time, velocity can be easily obtained. Position and velocity is obtained and displayed on base station. Kalman filtering is used to estimate the position and velocity from noisy measurements. Performance evaluation is done comparing vehicle position speed true values with experimental and estimated values.
