Development of a Real Time Guidance System for a Kinematic Test Vehicle

Centimeter-level accuracy in differential carrier phase GPS measurements enables precise vehicle guidance, exemplified by the development of a real-time guidance system for a golf car, the Remote Sensing Autonomous Vehicle for EN (RAVEN). The system integrates hardware, including GPS receivers and transceivers, with software that processes real-time GPS data to provide users with guidance information through a graphical interface. Performance evaluations through various tests demonstrate the system's effectiveness and user satisfaction across different conditions.
