TECHNICAL EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF AUTOMATIC VEHICLE MONITORING (AVM) SYSTEMS AND THE EXPERIMENTS FORMING THE BASIS OF THESE EVALUATIONS.
Abstract
THE VARIOUS FORMS THAT AN AVM SYSTEM CAN TAKE-INCLUDING PROXIMITY (PAVM), DEAD-RECKONING (DAVM), AND TRIANGULATION (TAVM) - ARE DESCRIBED AND COMPARED IN DETAIL. EXPERIMENTS REGARDING THE DAVM AND TAVM SYSTEMS ARE OUTLINED AND THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED. THE COST STRUCTURE OF A TAVM DEMONSTRATION PROJECT IS ESTIMATED. THE TECHNICAL APPENDIXES INCLUDE DETAILS OF THE EQUIPMENT, METHODS, AND RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENTS CARRIED OUT TO EVALUATE THE VARIOUS AVM SYSTEMS. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THE SUMMARY REPORT, SEE NCJ-009575 AND NCJ-009573 RESPECTIVELY.
