Enhancing Vehicle Location Prediction Accuracy with Road-Aware Rectification for Multi-Access Edge Computing Applications by Asif Mehmood, Afaq Muhammad, Faisal Mehmood, Wang-Cheol Song

“…Existing estimation techniques to forecast vehicle position aim to meet the real-time data needs but compromise accuracy due to a lack of context awareness. While algorithms such as the Kalman filter improve estimation accuracy by considering certainty-grading and current-state estimate of measurements, they do not include the road context, which is vital for more accurate predictions. …”
