Abstract:
A vehicle tracking system tracks the position of at least one vehicle and displays the tracked position. The system includes a plurality of beacons, at least one provided on each vehicle, configured to emit a corresponding identifying signal. A camera is configured to generate image data including region data based on a region in which the vehicles may be located, and beacon data based on the identifying signals corresponding to the beacons located in the region. A controller is configured to process the beacon data to generate position data based on a corresponding position of the beacons located in the region and to generate identification data, which corresponds to each of the identifying signals emitted by the beacons located in the region. Also, the controller outputs at least one of the image data, the position data, and the identification data to the monitor.
