Most existing studies on the wide-area differential global positioning system (WADGPS) used standard positioning service (SPS) receivers in their observation reference stations which provide the central control station global positioning system (GPS) measurements to generate augmentation data. In the present study, it is considered to apply a precise positioning service (PPS) receiver to an observation reference station which is located in the threatened jamming area. Therefore, the reference station network consists of a PPS receiver based observation reference station and SPS receiver based observation reference stations. In this case, to maintain correction performance P1C1 differential code bias (DCB) should be compensated. In this paper, P1C1 DCB estimation algorithm was applied to the PPS/WADGPS system and performance test results using measurements in the Korean Peninsula were presented.

This study analyzed positioning accuracy of the multi-differential global navigation satellite system (DGNSS) algorithm that integrated GPS, GLONASS, and BDS. Prior to the analysis, four sites of which satellite observation environment was different were selected, and satellite observation environments for each site were analyzed. The analysis results of the algorithm performance at each of the survey points showed that high positioning performance was obtained by using DGPS only without integration of satellite navigation systems in the open sky environment but the positioning performance of multi-DGNSS became higher as the satellite observation environments degraded. The comparison results of improved positioning performance of the multi-DGNSS at the poor reception environment compared to differential global positioning system (DGPS) positioning results showed that horizontal accuracy was improved by 78% and vertical accuracy was improved by 65% approximately.

BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) is one of the four main types of global navigation satellite systems. The current system has been widely used by the military and by the aerospace, transportation, and marine fields, among others. However, challenges still remain in the BeiDou system, which requires rapid responses for delay-sensitive devices. A differential positioning algorithm called the data center-based differential positioning (DCDP) method is widely used to avoid the influence of errors. In this method, the positioning information of multiple base stations is uploaded to the data center, and the positioning errors are calculated uniformly by the data center based on the minimum variance or a weighted average algorithm. However, the DCDP method has high delay and overload risk. To solve these problems, this paper introduces edge computing to relieve pressure on the data center. Instead of transmitting the positioning information to the data center, a novel method called edge computing-based differential positioning (ECDP) chooses the nearest reference station to perform edge computing and transmits the difference value to the mobile receiver directly. Simulation results and experiments demonstrate that the performance of the ECDP outperforms that of the DCDP method. The delay of the ECDP method is about 500ms less than that of the DCDP method. Moreover, in the range of allowable burst error, the median of the positioning accuracy of the ECDP method is 0.7923m while that of the DCDP method is 0.8028m.

This paper shows the development of the high accuracy vehicle positioning algorithm using the differential technique in vehicle tracking systems form the existing vehicle position which is acquired from the global positioning system (GPS). The control center receives the satellite ephemerise data and pseudorange correction from the reference station, and vehicle position from the moving vehicle. The pseudorange is calculated with the satellite position and the vehicle position, and corrected by pseudorange correction. Using this corrected pseudorange and kalman filter, more improved vehicle positioning data were obtained.

Wide-Area Differential Global Positioning System (WADGPS) is a system that operates a number of reference stations to provide correction information to improve the accuracy of GPS users, and it is available to service users within the area where the wide-area reference stations are installed. Recently, as positioning information has been used in various applications, the need for WADGPS for precise navigation in long-distance spaced areas where the wide-area reference stations cannot be installed has been raised. This paper tested the user navigation performance outside the wide-area reference stations of the WADGPS system, which serves both GPS Precise Positioning Service (PPS) and Standard Positioning Service (SPS) users. Static and dynamic tests were conducted using vehicles, and as a result, position accuracy improvement through WADGPS was confirmed even at points hundreds of kilometers outside the network area of the wide-area reference stations. Through this, the performance of the PPS/SPS correction system and the possibility of expanding the service area were confirmed.

최근에 GPS가 차량항법시스템으로 큰 역할을 해왔지만, 가로수와 고층빌딩 등이 산재한 도심지에서는 가시위성의 수의 제한으로 연속적으로 정확하게 차량의 동적위치를 결정할 수 없는 실정이다. 이런 GPS의 단점을 보완하기 위해 1996년 완전히 가동된 러시아의 위성항법시스템인 GLONASS를 도입하여 GPS의 보조항법시스템으로 사용하고자 하는 연구가 활발하다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 Real-time code differential positioning 기법으로 차량의 동적위치를 결정하여, Real-time DGG(DGPS/DGLONASS)가 차분측위해의 획득율과 수평위치 정밀도저하율(HDOP ; Horizontal Dilution of Precision)에서 Real-time DGPS보다 훨씬 우수한 값을 얻었으며, 이를 통해 GPS와 GLONASS의 결합이 정확한 차량의 동적위치결정에 기여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The position accuracy of the stand-alone Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) users is more than tens of meters because of various error sources in satellite navigation signals. This paper focuses on wide-area differential (WAD) positioning technique, which is already applied in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), in order to improve the position accuracy of RNSS users. According to the simulation results in the very narrow ground network in regional area, the horizontal position error of stand-alone RNSS is about RMS 11.6 m, and that of RNSS with WAD technique, named the WAD-RNSS, is about RMS 2.5 m. The accuracy performance has improved by about 78%.

This paper is focused on dynamic modeling and control system design as well as vision based collision avoidance for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Multi-rotor UAVs are defined as rotary-winged UAVs with multiple rotors. These multi-rotor UAVs can be utilized in various military situations such as surveillance and reconnaissance. They can also be used for obtaining visual information from steep terrains or disaster sites. In this paper, a quad-rotor model is introduced as well as its control system, which is designed based on a proportional-integral-derivative controller and vision-based collision avoidance control system. Additionally, in order for a UAV to navigate safely in areas such as buildings and offices with a number of obstacles, there must be a collision avoidance algorithm installed in the UAV's hardware, which should include the detection of obstacles, avoidance maneuvering, etc. In this paper, the optical flow method, one of the vision-based collision avoidance techniques, is introduced, and multi-rotor UAV's collision avoidance simulations are described in various virtual environments in order to demonstrate its avoidance performance.

This research is suggesting the most effective positioning method for GPS based positioning when no GPS reference point is available in the neighborhood. For this purpose, we carried out positioning of the IGS realtime observatories in Australia in various conditions. According to the research, we were certainly assured the one reference point with a short baseline length is more effective for differential positioning than multiple reference points with a long baseline distance beyond 1,000km and suggested the precise point positioning based positioning method can be an excellent substitute when no reference point is available around an unknown point. The research result may be used as the basic data for accurate positioning in poor reference point environments, especially in Antarctica.
