Abstract
A method and apparatus of vehicle positioning uses map matching as feedback for an integrated navigation system where a map and navigation system is coupled with an inertial navigation system (INS) using low-precision vehicle sensors when the vehicle passes through a tunnel or other area suffering from GPS signal loss. The method and apparatus operates to detect whether the vehicle has reached an entry point of a tunnel, and if so, immediately starts a map matching operation to match the current vehicle position with a road link of the tunnel. The current position determined by the map matching operation is feedbacked to an integration Kalman filter thereby correcting errors caused by the vehicle sensors. The method and apparatus resumes the normal navigation operation including GPS navigation as soon as it detects that the vehicle is out of the tunnel.
