This paper presents a technique to localize the vehicle with respect to kno
wn landmarks using on-board navigation sensors, overcoming uncertainities i
n vehicle dynamics and its operating environment. Results of computer simul
ation and pool experimentation are presented. Those results show that the s
ystem is capable of controlling the vehicle with high accuracy using the es
timated position and velocity from the on-board sensor-based navigation sys
tem. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
