ABSTRACT:
A vehicle position determination system and method provide accurate vehicle positioning using a global positioning system. Spatial bias techniques are used to improve positioning accuracy while the vehicle is in the midst of a relatively linear path and is not approaching a drastically nonlinear path. The use of spatial bias techniques is suspended while the vehicle is approaching or in a drastically nonlinear path.
