An Assessment on the Use of Stationary Vehicles as a Support to Cooperative Positioning

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the use of stationary vehicles as tools to enhance the localisation capabilities of moving vehicles in a VANET. We examine the idea in terms of its potential benefits, technical requirements, algorithmic design and experimental evaluation. Simulation results are given to illustrate the efficacy of the technique.

This version of the paper is an updated version of the initial submission, where some initial comments of reviewers have been taken into account
