The invention discloses an intelligent car and a positioning method used for an intelligent transportation physical
simulation platform. Different from a
radio frequency identification method in application to an electronic
license plate, the positioning method includes the steps that a
card reader is arranged inside the car when the intelligent car is positioned and navigated, passive electronic labels are laid on the
road surface, and each passive electronic
label corresponds to coordinates in a
global coordinate system; when the intelligent car passes above the passive electronic labels, the
card reader identifies UIDs of the passive electronic labels, and
pose information corresponding to the UIDs is determined and used for correcting the position of a miniature
inertia navigation system. The
simulation platform can be used for experiment research and
simulation display on intelligent vehicle coordination in a vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-road network environments, and uses an
embedded system carried on the intelligent car for
processing positioning information and then directly controlling the car, and therefore communication time is shortened.
