Abstract

Recently, real-time monitoring of moving objects (MOs), such as cars and humans, has attracted interest. In these systems, tracking trajectories and positions of MOs accurately and for the least communication cost is an important goal. To achieve this, MO position prediction is important. Some studies have proposed real-time monitoring systems that share route information between MOs and a server to predict MO position; however, these systems target public transportation, such as buses, for which the route is always fixed. To the best of the authors' knowledge, a real-time monitoring method for sharing route information between passenger cars and a central server does not exist. This paper proposes such a method using the sharing of frequently used routes (FUR) data between each MO and the server. The server and the MO predict near-future position of MO on the basis of the FUR information using a common algorithm. When the position of the MO deviates from the prediction, it sends a message to the server to maintain position synchronization. This paper evaluates the proposed method using real trajectories of cars and shows that the proposed method outperforms the conventional method, that is, dead-reckoning on a road network.
