Abstract

Our residential area, we sometimes meet heavy snowfall and lose vehicle location by low visibility. In order to overcome such condition, we develop vehicle navigation system with UHF RF-ID. In our navigation system with RF-ID system, vehicle location data is set on RF-ID tags buried in the asphalt road. And a driver takes vehicle location data by RF-ID antenna of RF-ID system from RF-ID tags. In our driving experiment, we put bubble wrap on the windshield in front of driver´s seat to make the low visible condition. In such condition, our navigate system contributes to keep driving lane. In our driving experiment, we use two types of antenna systems; 1 antenna system and 2 antennas system. In this paper, we will compare 1 antenna system with 2 antennas system.
