Methods and systems include localization of a vehicle localize precisely and in near real-time. As described, localization of a vehicle using a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can comprise receiving a signal from each of a plurality of satellites of a GNSS constellation and receiving input from one or more sensors of the vehicle. The input from the sensors can indicate current physical surroundings of the vehicle. A model of the current physical surrounding of the vehicle can be generated based on the input from the one or more sensors of the vehicle. One or more multipath signals received from the plurality of satellites can be mitigated based on the model and the vehicle can be localized using the received signals from the plurality of satellites of the GNSS constellation and based on the mitigation of the one or more multipath signals.

A control system for a screen of a vehicle includes a global positioning system (GPS), an inertia sensor and a control circuit. The GPS detects a satellite signal from a satellite. The inertia sensor senses motion of the vehicle and correspondingly generates a motion state value. The control circuit performs one of a first determination procedure and a second determination procedure according to the state of the satellite signal. In the first determination procedure, the control circuit calculates the vehicle speed of the vehicle according to the satellite signal, and selectively locks the screen of the vehicle according to the vehicle speed. In the second determination procedure, the control circuit generates a motion signal according to the motion state value, and selectively locks the screen of the vehicle according to the motion signal. Accordingly, driving safety can still be effectively ensured even in the case of poor satellite signals.
