Utilization of Fiducial Markers in Transportation Systems
Fiducial markers can serve multiple functions within transportation systems, particularly in the realms of navigation, localization, and automation. These markers can be instrumental in aiding autonomous vehicles such as drones and unmanned ground vehicles in navigating complex environments. By providing precise localization points, fiducial markers enable vehicles to ascertain their positions relative to markers. They are employed in high-precision docking tasks within automated transportation systems, and can be adapted for parking assistance systems. In urban transportation systems, fiducial markers can be deployed to monitor traffic and guide autonomous vehicles. Strategically placed markers on roads or intersections can provide precise location and orientation data to autonomous vehicles, thereby facilitating precise, efficient, and safe navigation. This study investigates the potential use of fiducial markers in transportation systems and introduces a novel marker, 6D Localization Code, along with its sample applications adaptable for transportation.
