Abstract

This paper discusses an alternative solution to the problem of autonomous vehicle navigation systems on the choice of technology in positioning the vehicle at a low cost but carries a high level of risk. The idea of using sonar and GPS in the navigation system can be an option, but the use of sonar is constrained by crosstalk problems between one sonar sensor and other sonar sensors. The use of Light Detection and Ranging (LIDARs) is also constrained by the high costs and stereo vision in LIDARs requiring powerful specific hardware to process camera information. Research studies on navigation systems using GPS-RFID based localization for visually impaired people become an inspiration for the idea of developing autonomous vehicle navigation using RFID-GPS fusion technology. The idea frame is to install RFID tags on the roadside that contain information on the location of routes to be taken by autonomous vehicles, reading RFID tags by Reader RFID with combined GPS module reading data will result in a more accurate location and is believed to be a reference for autonomous vehicle navigation systems. The initial results of several research studies on RFID testing for localization combined with GPS modules indicate that this idea is feasible.
