Abstract This chapter focuses on environmental signals like wireless signals which can observe from outside of vehicle. These signals are mostly used for localization of a terminal in mobile system. Particularly, we examine the wireless LAN-based localization in vehicles. Additionally, we explore the possibility of orientation estimation in vehicles using wireless LAN. Vehicles themselves interrupt wireless signals and act as a big obstacle. This causes a difference in signal strength distribution according to the location of wireless LAN antenna. By using these differences we can estimate vehicles’ orientation. Finally, we introduce our metropolitan-scale localization project named Locky.jp.
