A model for vehicle motion on a road network is developed using an enumeration of feasible routes. Combined with a generic stochastic model of distance travelled, a predicted pdf of vehicle position is derived as a mixture. This approach allows prior information on vehicle intent and behaviour to be included via the mixture weights. Illustrative examples are given using a second-order linear-Gaussian model for vehicle road speed. The value of road map data is shown via a tracking example with poor quality measurements and a substantial period prior to sensor activation. The tracking algorithm is implemented using a standard particle filter. In particular, the scheme has potential for revealing the likely paths taken by the vehicle.
