"Silence," Maami said, "is the only thing that saved our lives."
She barely talked about her life during the war, their passage out of mainland Europe, or their arrival in the North of England. Sometimes, there were brief mentions, scuttering across our conversation like clouds across the sun. I learned phrases and stories about "hungry smoke" and "Lesovij – Forest men" were not just words. They were echoes of silence and terror.
She did tell me once, barely breathing, unmoving, of the journey. How my family scattered like avginjalji seeds on the wind, some running unknowing into the jaws of the beast, some falling in rivers, and some running from dogs and 'wolves in the woods' for days and weeks and months. She told me of the Hlinkova garda, a brutal precursor to the Nazi regime, who beat our men, raped our women and cut their hair. She told me of ash falling from the sky like rain; the unfilled pits by the side of the road, bodies still warm.
At times, she choked and could go no further until whisky, slipped between her lips like a knife loosened her tongue and her heart once more.
My grandfather only ever said one thing, "njigda – never again."
His family had turned and run right back into Poland, into the arms of Auschwitz. He stayed with my grandmother and her family. His new wife was pregnant and her mother was sick. He never saw any of his family again, except in his dreams.
"Silence," Maami said, "is the only thing that saved our lives." I used to wonder why she never told me our history, why she never shared her stories, except in metaphor – shadows and half-light covering the truth like heavy blankets. I used to wonder why she clung to the old ways so voraciously, refusing to give even the smallest fraction, buried in superstition and žužipen.
One day she sat me down next to her and took my hand, unable to look at my face. "They tried to take it all away, " she said quietly. "They tried to take everything, but most of all our lives. The things I saw they did to our people, no one should ever see. There are no words for the things we saw, the things we heard, the things that were done to us. We are Gypsies, we are not English or Slovakian or British or any other such thing. We are Romani and we must keep our words, and songs, and dances, and music. The Slovak Hlinkova, the Germans, they tried to kill us like dogs, worse than dogs. If you go on in your life and you lose all of these things, what did we do? We lost, we lost everything then. You may as well spit on my dead eyes."
I didn't really understand what she meant. The War, the Holocaust, they weren't part of my consciousness or my education. I grew on in silence, wrapped in the empty spaces of a culture traumatized so completely that it could no longer speak.
Difference or sameness, assimilation or segregation, life or death… all of it a coin flip away. I argued, once, that assimilation would keep us alive, now. That it was time to change, that we needed to make different choices. I told her all of this in English, a language she refused to speak.
Maamki Babka slapped me, hard. Shocked I ran from her house and out into the fields, alone. Wandering along the hedgerows I started to think about the stories she'd told, the secrets she'd hidden within them. It was so distant for me, it was a place and a time that was not my own.
I was lucky and I was lost.
Maami, Papu, my bibja and kaka – all of them were surrounded by ghosts and I was too – the silence was crowded with them. They fell into our eyes at night and shook us awake in the morning. I breathed in their scent – the bitterness of damp wood and cigarette smoke, the rancid stench of alcohol and day old vomit, the delicate, coy scent of fresh bluebells, and freshly-kneaded bread. I was a ghost, treading carefully between two worlds, but a ghost who belonged in neither.
I've been told my entire life that Romani history is a history that doesn't matter; we are a problem and we caused that problem ourselves. I've been told that our silence means we cannot speak, that our words are meaningless. I've been told that ours is a life full of forgotten ghosts and children left to die in the woods.
As I tell my son stories of hedjoskero njecuhos, lesovij, giants and their Tatranský čaj, basorka, and šerdženjis, I can hear the ghosts in my voice. I can smell the cigarette smoke and I know that our history is important – not only to Romani, but to non-Romani too. Our history sits in the silences between your words, in the breaths between sentences and paragraphs, and at the bottom of the pages of your past.
Each word is an echo, each breath a prayer.
Ma roven, de Devla, mre čhavale,
brišind del, brišind del,
e mašina maj piskinel,
čore Romen maj ladinen.
Imar na bijina,
chodz te bi merava
Don't cry, children, Oh God,
it is raining, raining,
the train is whistling,
Poor Romani are loaded up.
I don't care anymore,
even if I will die.

The closure of the Harrods pet department earlier this year – hitherto stalwart supplier of furry follies such as four-poster leopard-print cat beds, diamante-studded dog collars and, prior to the 1976 Endangered Species Act, everything from lion cubs to alligators and baby elephants – has left a gaping hole in the marketplace.
OK, so perhaps not gaping, but the shuttering of its doors after almost a century seems oddly timed given that the public's peccadillo for posh pet pampering has never seemed more rampant. Of course, there will always be some people willing to spend £1,660 on a Louis Vuitton monogrammed dog carrier. La Toya Jackson, for one.
However, the vogue for over-indulging your animal has now gone mainstream. Just launched is AStarPets.com, an online pet "boutique" with a distinctly upmarket slant. Think of it as Pup-a-Porter.com, tapping into the upper echelons of a business worth some £4bn in the UK alone. On AStarPets.com, buyers can pick up hand-stitched Italian leather collars (House of Mutt, from £115), solid-silver whistles and dog beds approaching three figures, alongside gourmet dog and cat food and rather more regular treats such as Alan Titchmarsh-brand bird food as well as a £1.19 hamster playwheel.
The brains behind AStarPets.com are Quentin Griffiths and Will Cooper – the former is a co-founder of fashion site Asos, while the duo previously launched a members-only online luxury lifestyle store, Achica. AStarPets.com seems pitched squarely between the two. Or, to spin it into animal parlance, Harrods Pet Kingdom meets Pets at Home, the British doggie equivalent of Tesco.
Why is a fashion editor writing about this – besides the fact that I, as with 45 per cent of the UK population, own a pet (full disclosure: he's a piebald rabbit, named Miss Latrice Royale after a drag queen featured in the American reality-TV series RuPaul's Drag Race)? Because that booming, £4bn pet market is based on fashionable accessories that more usually find their place on two-legged creatures. In fact, the overall numbers of pet owners have declined over the past decade – in 1999, roughly 55 per cent of the UK population owned pets, while the pet market stood at around £2.6bn.
What conclusion can we draw from these four-legged figures? As a nation, we have fewer pets, but we are spending more on them. And what we're spending can't all be food-based – insert fat-cat joke here, although dogs officially became the UK's favourite pet in 2012, according to figures from the Pet Food Manufacturers Association.
In itself, that is a fashionable reflection – witness the ubiquity of that Vuitton dog carrier and of celebrities clutching shih tzu and chihuahua puppies. And, despite the age-old canine-feline stand-off, they often appear on the catwalk: the standard poodles and British bulldogs that regularly tripped out alongside models at Mulberry's London Fashion Week shows provided welcome distraction and ample cutesie-poo paparazzi fodder. However, those Mulberry mutts were fancily coated and collared in their own right – in garments that included tie-dyed parkas (£175) and oil-cloth rain-macs (£150). Vivienne Westwood and Burberry are also in on the action, offering canine couture in their respective signature tartans. If your taste in attire – if not in pets – runs to the more esoteric (and animal cruelty doesn't cross your mind), the Japanese-based website guineapigfashion.com offers costumes to dress your piggy in kimonos, wedding dresses and ninja costumes.
Considering the investment of the brains behind Asos's runaway retail success in an animal-only website, could lagomorph, feline and canine couture eleganza actually be going mainstream? £4bn can't be wrong.Reuse content

This application claims the benefit of provisional application No. 60/174,370 filed Jan. 5, 2000.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of vehicle positioning systems that can be used to ascertain whether a vehicle is positioned within a lane on a roadway. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a vehicle positioning system that integrates global positioning system (GPS) data with other navigational data to determine in a real-time, robust and precise manner a lane position of the vehicle on a mapped roadway for lane departure detection.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many different on-road vehicle systems exist or are being developed to address individual applications such as lane-keeping, lateral collision avoidance, intersection collisions, route planning, traffic management, collision notification, automated control, etc. Each of these systems varies in performance and implementation challenges. Both commercial and government activities continue to address the problem of combining systems designed for specific applications to provide low cost, integrated vehicle systems which can significantly increase driver and vehicle safety. GPS has significant potential for enabling a variety of transportation user services.
Prior art systems have used a variety of methods to determine and maintain the position of a vehicle with precision. One type, through the use of optical systems, uses cameras and visualization techniques to follow lane boundaries. The benefits of such optical systems are that they have a relatively low cost, are based on existing technology and use existing lane markers. Optical systems have problems related to reliability due to paint differences, weather, exit lanes, etc. Other methods to determine and maintain the position of a vehicle with precision are magnetic sensor systems. In such a system, the vehicle follows magnets or magnetic pavement marking tape along lane boundaries. Such systems have a relatively low cost since they use low cost magnetic sensors and electronics and are largely not adversely impacted by weather. However, such systems require a great deal of infrastructure and upkeep, have reliability issues due to missing sensors and are impacted by the presence of large metallic objects in the area, as well as by trucks and buildings.
Other prior art systems used to determine and maintain the position of a vehicle with precision utilize driver based sensors. Such systems detect drowsiness from driver characteristics such as eye movement and/or wheel motion. Such systems have the benefit in that they can often identify the state of the driver prior to lane departure but are hampered by reliability problems due to operator differences and false alarms and do not benefit from an actual road position. RF systems are also used to detect lane position through the input of RF signals along lane/road boundaries. The RF systems are useful in all weather environments but require a great amount of infrastructure and upkeep required for the RF emitters along the road.
GPS and Differential GPS (DGPS) have also been used in prior art systems to determine and maintain the position of a vehicle with precision. In such prior art systems, the actual vehicle position is compared to surveyed lane boundaries through the use of GPS data. Such systems have the benefits of being useful in all weather, use existing lane markers and work with other systems that also use GPS data However, in prior art systems, the survey of the roadway is still needed and more importantly there are reliability issues due to signal blockage. Additionally, the application of DGPS using a low cost GPS receiver can result in position accuracy on the order of 1-5 meters. While such a level of accuracy is adequate for many applications, in lane-keeping approaches and other applications that require greater precision, systems that rely only on GPS or DGPS are not adequate to prevent imminent lane departure.
Accordingly, for the above reasons, the present invention is directed to a real-time, high-precision, DGPS-based, robust (due to the use of other navigation aids in addition to DGPS), automotive navigation system that can support a wide range of highway traffic applications. Specifically, the GPS based system is used to precisely monitor a vehicle's location, in real time, relative to road lane boundaries. The present invention is directed to a GPS Roadside Integrated Precision Positioning System (GRIPPS).
A first embodiment of the present invention is directed to a real-time integrated navigation system for a vehicle. The system includes a GPS receiver, connected to a first antenna and receiving GPS data from satellites and outputting GPS position data, and a communications link, connected to a second antenna and to the GPS receiver, receiving range and carrier phase measurements from at least one base station. The system also includes navigation aids which provide relative position data of said vehicle, and a Kalman filter, connected to the output of the GPS receiver and the navigation aids, that integrates the GPS position data and the relative position data and outputs smoothed position data
In the system of the first embodiment the smoothed position data compensates for degradation, blockages or communication dropouts of the GPS data from the satellites. The navigation aids of the system can include at least one, and, preferably, at least two or more, of a distance measurement, e.g., odometer measurements or anti-lock braking system (ABS) wheel turns, heading measurements, and tilt measurements. Distance and heading measurements are preferred if only two navigation aids are used. More specifically, the navigation aids can include at least one, and, preferably, at least two or more, of anti-lock braking system wheel turns, electronic compass heading and pitch, and map vertical height that provides for the generation of a high rate, robust reference relative position. The real-time integrated navigation system for a vehicle provides smoothed position data that has a 2-cm position accuracy when GPS updates from good phase measurements are available.
In addition, the system of the first embodiment can include a lane departure module that receives the smoothed position data and utilizes stored map data to output a signal that is related to imminent lane departures of the vehicle. The system may have a spread spectrum radio modem as a part of its communications link and the second antenna can be a 900 MHz communications antenna to facilitate communications with the ground stations; other, better communications systems are commercially available.
A second embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method of providing real-time navigation data to a vehicle, having the steps of: receiving GPS data from satellites via a first antenna connected to a GPS receiver located on the vehicle and then receiving range and carrier phase measurements from at least one base station via a communications link connected to a second antenna and sending the range and carrier phase measurements to the GPS receiver. The method further includes the steps of outputting GPS position data from said GPS receiver to a Kalman filter and querying navigation aids to provide relative position data of said vehicle and providing the relative position data to said Kalman filter. GPS position data and the relative position data are integrated, using said Kalman filter, and the smoothed position data for the vehicle is output.
The method compensates for degradation, blockages or communication dropouts of the GPS data from the satellites. In addition, the queried navigation aids can include components providing at least one, and, preferably, at least two or more, of a distance measurement, e.g., odometer measurements or ABS wheel turns, heading measurements, and tilt measurements. Distance and heading measurements are preferred if only two navigation aids are used. More specifically, the components can provide at least one, and, preferably, at least two or more, of anti-lock braking system wheel turns, electronic compass heading and pitch, and map vertical height that provides for the generation of a high rate, robust reference relative position.
The method may also include providing the smoothed position data to a lane departure module and computing imminent lane departures of the vehicle based on stored map data and the smoothed position data. Preferably, the smoothed position data has a 2-cm position accuracy.
The method is also applicable where the communications link receives range corrections via a spread spectrum radio modem and the second antenna is a 900 MHz communications antenna.
The features of the disclosed method and system will become more readily apparent and may be better understood by referring to the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments of the present invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 to 6 show embodiments of the present invention, wherein
FIG. 1 illustrates the overall configuration of the GPS Roadside Integrated Precision Positioning System (GRIPPS);
FIG. 2 illustrates an integrated system architecture for GRIPPS;
FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic showing the integration of data to determine lane departure of a vehicle;
FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic representation of navigational aids used in the system;
FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic representation of a specific embodiment of the system of the present invention; and
FIG. 6 illustrates experimental results of lane deviations of a vehicle as determined by the system of the present invention.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
Standard commercial products for GPS support civilian Coarse/Acquisition (C/A) code GPS which provides position accuracy on the order of 30-50 meter Circular Error Probability (CAP), due primarily to Selective Availability (SA). The application of Differential GPS (DGPS) using a low cost GPS receiver can result in position accuracy on the order of 1-5 meters. DGPS involves the broadcasting of navigation data and measurements or corrections from a surveyed base station. This approach can mitigate the effect of common error sources.
Current efforts exist to provide an infrastructure (i.e. WAAS, WADGPS, US Coast Guard, Minnesota DOT, etc.) for the transmission of differential GPS corrections. In order to get high position accuracy (2-19 cm), a system based on good signal phase measurements and cycle ambiguity resolution is required to achieve positioning accuracy of a few centimeters. Furthermore, additional navigation data at a higher update rate must be provided; separation between surveyed ground stations must be minimized; and the GPS receiver would require the capability to minimize multipath and noise. However, in a dynamic environment, consistency of high accuracy GPS is dependent on many factors including: receiver quality, distance from base station, reliability of the communications RF link, satellite geometry, blockage of GPS signals, RF and GPS antenna placement/multipath, etc.
The potential ability to support multiple transportation applications, while taking advantage of existing infrastructure, makes precise vehicle positioning using GPS an important technology area to pursue. As noted above, however, prior art systems have been unable to take advantage of these benefits.
A wide range of transportation applications can be supported with a single, configurable on-board vehicle system. Some of the applications, such as route planning, collision notification, and traffic management require easily achieved position accuracies on the order of 10-30 meters. However, applications such as lane-keeping, collision avoidance, impaired driving detection, and automated vehicle control require real-time precise positioning and a precision reference map. For example, the lane-keeping application requires accuracy on the order of a few centimeters to identify imminent lane departures early enough such that the operator can take preventative measures. If multiple vehicles applied a precision positioning system with two-way communications, their positions could be broadcast to other vehicles in the immediate vicinity. These positions could be tracked by software on-board the vehicles to support warning the operators of potential collisions.
Monitoring accurate vehicle positions over time and comparing to nominal driver behavior could provide a measure of driver effectiveness (i.e. identify a drowsy or impaired driver). For real-time vehicle control, the precise position information could be used with surveyed map data and vehicle control actuators to support navigation and, hence, control of the vehicle. Even though the same accuracy is not required, the position information and two-way communications could be used to support route planning, collision notification and traffic management as well.
A properly designed, in-vehicle, GPS-based system can support all functions at a high level of accuracy and provide a robust, all weather alternative to other sensor systems being considered (magnetic, vision-based, radio frequency (RF) transponders). An integrated GPS system appears to offer the capability to support systems envisioned for "intelligent" vehicles of the future, —private automobiles, commercial and transit vehicles.
The development activities associated with the present invention concentrated on the real-time system instrumentation and software for an Instrumented Vehicle (IV). These activities can be broken up into system architecture, system development, Kalman filter, and software methodology.
The general architecture of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. The IV is illustrated as a mobile unit 10, which contains a GPS unit and other processing portions of the system. The IV receives signals from GPS satellites 20 and communication relays 30 along the roadway. The signals sent to the communications relays are coordinated by base stations 40 that are also in communication with the GPS satellites 20. Through the system, the position of the vehicle can be determined with a high degree or accuracy and departures from the lane of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling can be determined
A specific embodiment of the present invention as it relates to determination of lane departure is illustrated generally in FIG. 2. The IV is illustrated as a ROVER portion 115. The IV has a GPS receiver 100 and communication module 110 that provides data to the GPS receiver 100. The communications module receives data from a base station that also has a GPS receiver 101 and a communication module 111. The output of the GPS receiver 100 in the IV is sent to the Kalman filter 130. The filter integrates data from other navigation aids 120 to determine an output that signals whether a lane departure has been determined by the lane departure module 140.
An integrated system architecture, using DGPS 100 and navigation aids 120 to calculate real-time vehicle position, is illustrated in FIG. 3. The real-time data collection system was developed on the IV to acquire DGPS, odometer, heading, tilts, inertial navigation measurement, gyroscope, and video camera data. FIG. 3 also shows the outputs of the different portions of the system, that will be discussed in greater detail below.
The architecture developed for the system of the present example of the invention is based on convenience and utilization of existing hardware. A DGPS-based system was chosen over Optical, Magnetic, and RF systems for reasons mentioned in the previous section. First, the performance of several commercial GPS receivers were evaluated for ability to provide 2-cm accuracy. Examination of commercial GPS receiver performance showed that there are several receiver systems that offer differential position accuracy to a few centimeters. The GPS-based inertial navigation system of the present invention was designed around a DGPS system developed by ASHTECH, but other off-the-shelf DGPS systems can also be used.
In terms of communications options, for communicating between the vehicle and the base stations, options such as VHF/UHF radio, FM-subcarrier, cellular phone, Cellular switched-circuit data, Iridium, and Location and Monitoring Service (LMS) are all applicable to the present invention. The LMS communication link was selected in the preferred embodiment, despite the fact that cellular phone and VHF/UHF communications are proven technologies and are capable of transmitting data at greater distances. The reference stations used transmit L1 and L2 code and carrier phase data at a 2 Hz update rate to the mobile unit through a LMS 900 MHz RF antenna and communication modem. The Instrumented Vehicle (IV) was outfitted with two computers, inertial and vehicle sensors, and a differential GPS system.
In a preferred embodiment, the GPS system includes a GPS receiver, a choke ring antenna, a spread spectrum radio modem, and a 900 MHz antenna In the preferred embodiment, an ASHTECH Z-12 GPS receiver served as the GPS receiver. The present invention finds utility with small, high-quality GPS antennas, which are generally available; however, choke ring antennas provide improved multipath mitigation, in the preferred embodiment.
The moving receiver uses navigation data and measurement data from the base station through the RF communications link, and data corrections for applicable satellites are computed by the receiver to accurately determine the vehicle position. High precision positioning is accomplished because the receiver employs sophisticated processing (which can include L1/L2 codeless, narrow correlators, multipath/cycle slip mitigation, internal ambiguity fixing and differential carrier phase ranging techniques). Based on theoretical performance analysis, the highest accuracy is achieved when base to mobile separation is within a few kilometers.
In this implementation, the system directly applies the position information as provided by the receiver. As shown in FIG. 4, GPS position and velocity data, select navigation aids (odometers 201, vehicle heading 202, and vehicle tilts 203) and vertical map measurements (from the surveyed reference map 206) were integrated 204 using an Extended Kalman filter to smooth through GPS signal dropouts. This serves to enable vehicle navigation during GPS blockage with graceful performance degradation. Data from the navigation aids were analyzed to determine the optical configuration of sensors to smooth through data dropouts.
In testing, data was collected to evaluate several GPS hardware configurations to determine an initial system approach that would increase reliability of the position data. A video camera was also used to view the lane markings in order to provide an independent observation of the lane departures and to assist in mapping the road boundaries. A user interface for lane departure and warning capability was developed.
The data acquisition hardware will now be addressed. The Instrumented Vehicle (IV) data acquisition system is built around a processor equipped with several ports used to acquire serial and analog sensor outputs. This system is also equipped with a network interface to the Kalman Filter Processing System, which is run, preferably, on a separate processor. This processor accepts analog signals from the inertial measurement unit and a pulse train representing wheel turns from the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
The Kalman filter utilizes software to process incoming signals. Upon receiving data, the Kalman filter software implements the filter on the real-time data and subsequently returns data indicating lane deviation, filter process status and whether the IV is in the reference map location.
An equipment stack contains navigation aids and the ABS interface. The wheel turns are sensed from the ABS, while heading and pitch data are measured from an electronic compass sensor module. The navigation aids also include an Inertial Measurement Unit, which provides linear accelerations and angular rates, and a fiber optic gyroscope.
In an exemplary embodiment, illustrated in FIG. 5, the GPS based inertial navigation system instrumentation installed in the Instrumented Vehicle is made up of the following:
Data Acquisition System Computer (PENTIUM 180 MHz computer), 401;
Kalman Filter Processor/Real Time video Computer (PENTIUM 180 MHz computer), 402;
CROSSBOW DU6 Inertial Measurement Unit, 403;
PRECISION NAVIGATION TCM2 Electronic Compass with tilt, 404;
ANDREW 225140 AUTOGYRO Fiber Optic Gyroscope, 405;
ASHTECH Z-12 DGPS Receiver, 406; and
ASHTECH Spread Spectrum Radio Modem, 407.
The exemplary embodiment also includes interface modules that allow communication between the constituent parts. While the above constituent parts of the system have been used in a particular embodiment, the present invention is not so limited. The range of applicable components of the real-time integrate navigation system are discussed above.
The Kalman filter software will now be discussed. An eight-state Extended Kalman filter (E-KF) with GPS and navigation aids is used to estimate the vehicle position/velocity errors. An estimate and covariance propagation is performed every update time. A measurement update occurs when there is either GPS, height, or both measurements available. The state vector is:
where the vehicle position is in the North-East Down (NED) local frame defined by the reference (base station) position.
After each measurement update, the E-KF accumulates whole value estimates for position (r), navigation (α), and velocity (v) by the following equations:
{circumflex over (r)} i+ ={circumflex over (r)} i− +δ{circumflex over (r)} i+{circumflex over (α)}i+={circumflex over (α)}i−+δ{circumflex over (α)}i+ v i+ =v i +δ{circumflex over (r)} i+ /Δtδ{circumflex over (x)}=0, (2)
where δr are the first three elements, and δα are the last five elements of the state vector, δx. The transitions are defined by
The transition matrix in the filter is approximated by:
(Aj, Bj) are the columns of (T1, TNB2) and {dot over (d)}1 is defined later in this section. Note that A2=B2 and A3=[0, 0, 1]T. The diagonal process noise matrix, which is based on judgement and testing, is Q=[qk 2], where the nominal qk=[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 10−4, 0.5, 0.1, 0.0, 0.001]. The diagonal prior uncertainty matrix is P0=[pk 2], where pk=[10+4, 10+4, 10+4, 0.04, 20, 3, 10−4, 0.1].
The measurements are:
where δd is the vehicle down position with respect to the map. The sensitivity matrix is
The noise matrix is
where PGPS is the position covariance from GPS or an override of PGPS=10+4*I3 is used
A survey approach and map representation were developed to provide both a height measurement and a lane departure and warning capability. The map is constructed to give the location of the GPS antenna when the passenger side, right wheel is on the right lane marker. The map frame is Along Track (a), Cross Track (c), and Down (d). The map is parameterized verses Along Track. The map frame has origin at R0 (meters), and is rotated with respect to NED frame by azimuth from North in degrees (θ). To make the map, the GPS position points are put into the map frame. A cubic spline interpolation is used to get a map at uniform spacing for Along Path. The spline derivative, dc/da, is used to calculate φ(a), local line direction in the map frame. The map is in column format of a, c, d, φ, with a being uniformly spaced (nominally 2 meters). Because spline interpolation is used to produce the map on a defined grid, multiple vehicle tracks can be combined (averaged) to make a merged map.
To evaluate the vehicle position with respect to the map, the fixed NED to map transformation matrix, TMN=(θ)3, must be computed. This transformation matrix is based on a single rotation about the z-axis. The vehicle position is calculated in the map frame by
where rNED is the estimated position in the NED frame.
The map is interpolated using a spline to generate the values {overscore (c)} (a), {overscore (d)} (a), and {overscore (φ)} (a). The vehicle position with respect to the map or right hand lane marker (delta lane, δl, and delta down, δd) is evaluated by
The delta lane measurement is the only desired output of the real time system.
Wheel turns from ABS with azimuth and pitch from the electronic compass are integrated to obtain the new navigated position, δ{circumflex over (r)}i−. Integration, and filter propagation and navigation aid updates occur whether there is a real-time DGPS measurement present or not. The distance traveled over the period of the update is computed by summing the incremental distances formed by products of wheel circumference (k), accumulated wheel scale factor estimate (1+{circumflex over (α)}(1)) and delta wheel counts (ΔWC). The wheel circumference is measured and variations due to temperature and pressure are accounted for.
The navigated position integration is performed using the following equations:
Then the following are computed at each update interval from the loop quantities above:
where ψ=compass (magnetic) heading
θ=pitch (positive nose up)
WC=wheel counts or turns (fractional)
ψB=prior heading bias ("magnetic true", sensor mounting and sensor bias)
ψC(ψ)=calibration foe vehicle magnetic properties (deviation)
θB=prior pitch bias (sensor mounting and sensor bias)
k=wheel circumference
Experimental results for the system of the present invention are shown in FIG. 6. The graph shows the output of the Kalman filter processor and lane deviations from the map during the drive. The test run also involved intentional lane departures, shown after 120 seconds on the graph.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, it will be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications in design may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention defined in claims.

The House… Blank eyes, desolate, GLOOMY, cracked, decaying, mirrored by the tarn (twin), crumbles/"dies" Roderick Usher (twins of the house) Socially awkward, very private, $, artists, musicians, incest, bug-eyed, looks dead, floating hair, bi-polar (druggie?), "acuteness of senses," afraid of fear, he NEVER leaves home, (house won't let him), "the house is alive", buries his sister alive, dies of fear (heart attack?)
Madeline – sister, dying, (does she exist?), twin (twin telepathy), physically wasting away, buried alive, claws her way out, collapses on Usher The Narrator The house makes him uneasy, unnerved by the storm, becomes high strung like his friend as he stays in the house, runs from the house as it crumbles.
Doppelganger - a paranormal double of a living person often view as bad luck or evil, an omen of death… Single Effect - goal of creating one strong emotion. Plot and character are simplified and often inconsequential to the force of the story's feeling. Archetype – a message or symbol that remains the same despite time or place.
The narrator arrives at Usher (rec'd letter – he is Usher's only friend). He tries to distract Usher from his depression by reading, painting, playing music… Lady Madeline will be entombed in the "basement" (which used to store gunpowder). Usher becomes even more neurotic The Narrator is afraid (?) as a storm brews and noises can be heard. The Narrator reads to calm them. The noises of the night/Madeline mimic those of the novel. Both brother and sister die together. The house crumbles in unison.

The past few weeks the weather hasn't been too good, it's either been raining, windy or really cold. The minute I saw sun and no rain I decided to go for a little walk with Elliw once Mia went to school one morning and I plan to do this most mornings too. It's only a 15-20 minute walk there and back and it's an old road to the next village so there are no cards around so Elliw is very safe to just run around! However the walk there and back home she wanted to hold my hand, she had only ran and walked by herself for a little bit while I took photos of her, otherwise she was holding my hand.
We may aswell make the most of the nice weather we having, right? If you live in North Wales then you probably know we had very bad stormy weather a few weeks back and awful rain too. So it's really nice seeing the sun come out.
From when I locked the front door up to the end of the path then all the way back home Elliw held my hand. The only time she let go was when I wanted to take photos of her! She's changed so much these last couple of weeks.
Do you like going for walks with your little ones?

After what appears to have been a protracted fight with just about everyone in City Hall, Tom Kiefaber, operator and former owner of the Senator Theatre in Baltimore, Maryland, closed the theater for the last time with two free screenings of a rare print of Star Wars. Kiefaber lost his battle to keep the theater after it was sold at auction after foreclosure.
"We wanted to do something really special for the last film to be shown at The Senator, to honor Tom Kiefaber and his family, as well as The Senator's long term staff," said [Friends of The Senator] President Tom Harris, who has camped on the sidewalk at The Senator for past Star Wars midnight openings with his family. "A film collector approached us about this rare original release print of Star Wars, and the film is such a touchstone for so many of us, we went for it."
According to a news story on the WBAL-TV web site, the Baltimore Development Corp. and the owner of the Charles Theatre are expected to reopen the Senator.

Hobart No 4 Gin is made from a base of barley grain... somewhat unusual in the gin world and could be thought of as a moonshine or white whiskey base, in some respects, with a grain flavor in the background. The botanical set includes the Australian botanicals of lemon myrtle, anise myrtle, lanceolata, and wattleseed to complement the juniper.

I have a Queen sized ensuite bedroom available in a beautiful modern townhouse. With its oversized courtyard, it's the perfect place for BBQing and alfresco entertaining, plus Clovelly beach is only a 5 minute walk away.
Located in a quiet cul-de sac, this sun filled two level terrace style house is the perfect home for someone that likes living in a modern, clean place, enjoys having some private outside space and also wants to be close to all the amenities that Clovelly has to offer. The house is a few metres away from Clovelly Road, which has a whole host of transport options going to the city and the rest of the eastern suburbs and also boasts a wide range of cafes and restaurants.
Some key highlights about the place:
- Stainless steel kitchen with Smeg fittings, ample cupboard space
- Private separate lounge area with gas heating
- Dining area located off kitchen opening to wrap around courtyard
- Sun filled Queen sized bedroom with ensuite and built-in wardrobes
- Separate laundry, guest w/c, under stair storage, AV intercom
- Attractively landscaped complex, lock-up garage and on-street parking
- Short walk to Clovelly cafes and beach
- Easy access to transport options
Finally, couples are welcome to apply at the cost of $560. Bills not included.
I'm a sporty 30 year old that enjoys an active lifestyle and making the most of living so close to the beach. I'm looking to live with a like-minded person that's as house proud as I am and will treat this place like their home.
I work in communications in the city and am relatively quiet in the week, spending my evenings at the gym, relaxing at home or seeing friends. On the weekend I like to go out and have a good time, however I don't tend to bring the party home.
If this sounds like your kind of place then please get in touch.

Yanks' Big Efforts Wither in Defeat
By MICHAEL MARTINEZ
Published: October 2, 1987
When they look back, the Yankees surely will not want to remember games like the one they played last night at the Stadium. They hit three home runs, stole three bases, owned a four-run lead in the seventh inning and lost.
Worse, they assured themselves of no better than a tie for third place in the American League East.
In the end, the Yankees lost to the Boston Red Sox, 7-5, when a lead that looked safe suddenly dissipated.
''It was a typical Red Sox-Yankees game,'' said Lou Piniella, the Yankee manager. ''It's never over till it's over.'' Borrowed Words
The quote was borrowed from Yogi Berra, but the point was clear. The game seemed well in hand for most of the night, but it got away when Pete Filson, the Yankee starter, handed it to the bullpen.
Pat Clements, given a 5-1 lead in the seventh, allowed two runs and then Dave Righetti failed for the 13th time in a save situation. Righetti followed Tim Stoddard in the seventh, but in the eighth, he could not maintain the 5-3 lead. He gave up run-scoring singles to Ellis Burks and Marty Barrett, then deflected a throw to the plate for an error that allowed the go-ahead run to score.
In the ninth, Righetti also gave up a home run to Mike Greenwell, the rookie left-handed hitter. It was only the 11th homer the left-handed Righetti had permitted by a left-handed hitter in his career; it was Greenwell's first against a left-handed pitcher. The ball landed in the center field bleacher area, 420 feet away. Only three other hitters have hit a ball that far: Reggie Jackson twice, Ken Singleton and Larry Parrish.
The victory kept Al Nipper unbeaten against the Yankees this season. Nipper gave up a three-run homer to Willie Randolph and bases-empty shots to Gary Ward and Dan Pasqua, but his perseverance paid off. He beat the Yankees for the fourth time this season in four starts with three complete games. In his other starts this season, Nipper has been more manageable: a 7-12 record.
''Nipper looked like a loser tonight,'' Piniella said, ''and then all of a sudden, he nipped us.''
Nipper shut down the Yankees after Pasqua's two-out homer in the sixth, retiring 11 of the last 12 Yankee batters.
The loss left the Yankees with a difficult task. In order to gain a tie for third with the Brewers, the Yankees must sweep the Baltimore Orioles in the final three games of the season, and hope the Red Sox sweep Milwaukee. Stoddard to Stay
The Yankees announced yesterday that they were exercising the option on the contract of Stoddard, their relief pitcher, for next season. Actually, Stoddard would have been paid in full even if the option was not picked up. His contract, originally signed with the San Diego Padres in 1985, was vested for 1988 if he pitched 52 games or 75 innings this season. He surpassed both requirements: 57 games and 92Z innings to go along with 8 saves. His salary for next season, $650,000, is $50,000 less than he earned this season. . . . Don Mattingly struck out his first two times at bat, then left the game for a pinch-hitter in the fifth because of the flu. The last time Mattingly was lifted for a pinch-hitter: Aug. 3, 1984.

Law and Judicial Duty by Philip Hamburger
Book DescriptionAlmost every day, a judge in the United States holds a statute unconstitutional. This power of the judges is known as "judicial review," and it often seems the central feature of American constitutional law. The authority and scope of this power, however, have long remained unclear, and because historical accounts have tended to suggest that the judges themselves largely developed judicial review, the history has given credence to the view that judges enjoy considerable discretion over the extent and exercise of this power."Law and Judicial Duty" presents a very different history and a very different conception of the power of the judges. Drawing upon previously unexplored evidence, Philip Hamburger reveals the familiar notion of judicial review to be largely an illusion produced by modern assumptions, and he shows that what today is called "judicial review" was once understood more simply as part of the duty of judges to decide in accord with the law of the land. His book challenges many modern assumptions about the extent of judicial power, and by exploring judicial duty in its social context, the book raises sobering questions about the nature of law and the possibility of government under law.
