Abstract
Most land vehicles whose positions need to be tracked are made primary of steel. The problem considered is that of finding locations within or on land vehicles where magnetic sensors can be mounted to measure heading accurately and of finding compensation methods that minimize the effect of the vehicle magnetic signature. Results obtained with various types of vehicles in several world locations are given. Advantages and disadvantages of pendulous mounting are considered, and vehicle magnetic changes caused by driving in areas of extremely strong magnetic fields such as those generated by DC-powered trains are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
