The two encoders augmented the positioning accuracy greatly that the fluctuation of vehicle position was greatly smoothed comparing with a GPS-only system. The minimal fluctuation was falling from 2.21 m to 0.52 m (east direction), from 0.68 m to 0.23 m (north direction). The maximum XTE was reduced from 2.5 m to 0.77 m, and the RMS value was improved to 0.22m. The GPS bias error was the major difficulty to produce better performance. %G English %Z TC 5 %Z WG 5.14 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01351848/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01351848/file/978-3-642-27281-3_52_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01351848 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01351848 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC5 %~ IFIP-WG5-14 %~ IFIP-CCTA %~ IFIP-AICT-368
