Theoretical framework for In-Car Navigation based on Integrated GPS/IMU Technologies
In this report the problem of vehicular navigation based on the integration of the global positioning system and an inertial navigation system
is tackled. After analysing some fundamental technical issues about reference systems, vehicle modelling and sensors, a novel solution, combining extended Kalman filtering with particle filltering, is developed. This solution allows to embed highly non-linear constraints originating from
digital maps in the position estimation process and is expected to be implementable on commercial hardware platforms equipped with low cost

Malaysian bilateral trade relations and economic growth
This paper examines the structure and trends of Malaysian bilateral exports and imports and then investigates
whether these bilateral exports and imports have caused Malaysian economic growth. Although the structure of
Malaysia’s trade has changed quite significantly over the last three decades, the direction of Malaysia’s trade
remains generally the same. Broadly, ASEAN, the EU, East Asia, the US and Japan continue to be the
Malaysia’s major trading partners. The Granger causality tests have shown that it is the bilateral imports that
have caused economic growth in Malaysia rather than the bilateral exports
Exchange rate misalignments in ASEAN-5 countries
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the exchange rate misalignments for Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines,
Singapore and Thailand before the currency crisis. By employing the sticky-price monetary exchange rate model
in the environment of vector error-correction, the results indicate that the Indonesia rupiah, Malaysian ringgit,
Philippines peso and Singapore dollar were overvalued before the currency crisis while Thai baht was
undervalued on the eve of the crisis. However, they suffered modest misalignment. Therefore, little evidence of
exchange misalignment is found to exist in 1997:2. In particular, Indonesia rupiah, Malaysia ringgit, Philippines
peso and Singapore dollar were only overvalued about 1 to 4 percent against US dollar while the Thai baht was
only 2 percent undervalued against US dollar
