An automatic vehicle location system incorporated in a vehicle-based data logging system was developed. Navigational inputs from various dead-reckoning sensors and a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver were used to establish the exact location of logged data. The availability of such a location system eliminates the need for an operator to manually tag logged data, thus increasing productivity, accuracy and enhancing safety. Short-range communication using inductive loops as location beacons was also investigated and reported in this project.
