 note = {Purpose, In northern countries, we sometimes encounter
heavy snow fall and it causes low visible condition. In this
circumstance, we have difficulty to keep the driving lane.
For the purpose of safety driving, we develop the vehicle
navigation system with Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio
Frequency Identification (RF-ID) to keep the driving lane., Methods, We obtain a vehicle location on the driving lane
using UHF RF-ID system. The vehicle position in driving
lane is written on RF-ID tags in advance and these tags are
buried in an asphalt road. Our experimental vehicle equips
RF-ID antenna which communicates with RF-ID tags and
gets vehicle location on the driving lane. This position information
is given to a driver by Liquid Cristal Display. We
make Graphical User Interface which shows vehicle location
and direction to the center of the driving lane. And
our system gives voice instruction, which says the above direction.
In order to simulate low visible condition, we put a
bubble wrap on the windshield in front of driver’s seat. This
bubble wrap makes driver difficult to see the outside., Results, In our driving experiment with a daily driver and a
novice driver, they can keep on the driving lane using our navigation
system against the bubble wrap on the windshield., Conclusions, The navigation system with RF-ID is useful
under the low visible condition. And low visiblecondition is occurred in not only in the heavy snow fall, also thick fog
and so on., Open Access},
