Apparatus for detecting position information of a moving object
First Claim
1. An apparatus for detecting position information of a moving object, the apparatus comprising:
- a transponder installed on a predetermined location of a road, for storing position information associated with the installed location;
a communication module mounted to a moving object, for emitting an RF (Radio Frequency) signal toward a road surface, and for receiving position information associated with the transponder'"'"'s installation location from the transponder located within a predetermined distance from the moving object using the RF signal; and
a reader for receiving position information associated with the transponder'"'"'s installation location from the communication module, and for reading a current position of the moving object.

Abstract
An apparatus for detecting position information of a moving object. The apparatus includes a transponder, a communication module, and a reader. The transponder is installed on a predetermined location of a road and stores position information associated with the installed location. The communication module is mounted to a moving object, emits an RF (Radio Frequency) signal toward a road surface, and receives position information associated with the transponder'"'"'s installation location from the nearest transponder using an RF signal. The reader receives position information associated with the transponder'"'"'s installation location from the communication module, and reads a current position of the moving object. The apparatus minimizes a data error between the detected position information. The transponder installed on a road is driven by RF signals received from external devices, resulting in increasing a lifetime of the transponder. This apparatus minimizes the cost of OAM (Operation, Administration, and Maintenance).
