Autonomous vehicles contain many sensors, enabling them to drive by themselves. Autonomous vehicles need to communicate with other vehicles (V2V) wirelessly and with infrastructures (V2I) like satellites with diverse connections as well, to implement safety, reliability, and efficiency. Information transfer from remote communication appliances is a critical task and should be accomplished quickly, in real time and with maximum reliability. A message that arrives late, arrives with errors, or does not arrive at all can create an unsafe situation. This study aims at employing data compression to efficiently transmit GNSS information to an autonomous vehicle or other infrastructure such as a satellite with maximum accuracy and efficiency. We developed a method for compressing NMEA data. Furthermore, our results were better than other ones in current studies, while supporting error tolerance and data omission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
