A location-aware system, which is capable to detect a user's whereabout in a region and provide real-time location information in outdoor environment is designed and fabricated, specifically using the GPS (global positioning system) as key technology in view of its stability and high precision in outdoor environment. Experiment is conducted to test this application in campus-based environment. Once GPS receiver detects specific location which is tagged with GPS coordinates, the system provides information relevant to that context and user can operate and react accordingly. Besides, this location-aware system is able to provide user with the route in order to get to a desired place by detecting the direction that the user is moving towards from his/her initial location. The mapping data is transferred via wireless LAN to PDA carried by the user as well as to the back-end system on real-time basis. The test result is analyzed and discussed to validate the effectiveness of using GPS in implementing this system and indicates future works that could be made to improve this prototype to be implemented in other applications, such as theme park, tourist attraction spot or recreational park.

근래의 위치 측위 방법으로 GPS(Global Positioning System) 위성정보를 활용하는 전파항법 방식을 많이 사용하고 있다. GPS 활용범위가 넓어지고 다양한 측위 정보를 기반으로 하는 분야가 생기면서 보다 높은 정확도를 얻기 위한 새로운 방법들이 요구되고 있다. 자율주행차의 경우 IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit)를 사용한 항법 시스템인 INS(Inertial Navigation System)와 차량 내부 센서를 이용한 DR(Dead Reckoning) 알고리즘을 사용하여 GPS의 정확도 저하나 음영지역에서의 위치 측정방법으로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 측위 방법은 대형화되는 빌딩 지역, 터널, 지하 주차장 등 다양한 음영지역과 시간이 지남에 따라 오차가 계속 증가하는 누적 기반 위치추정 방법의 한계로 인해 많은 문제 요소가 있다. 본 논문은 GPS 음영지역에서 차량의 위치 측위를 위해, 대중적 무선 통신인 WLAN을 이용한 Fingerprint 기법을 4개의 Anchor 형태로 AP(Access Point)와 지향성 안테나를 위치하여 넓은 지하 주차공간에서 효율적인 측위 방법을 제시하고 시간이 지남에 따라 주차된 차량이 이동하는 환경에서도 변화가 없는 위치 측위 결과를 입증하였다.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems are expected to meet system-defined integrity requirements when users utilize the system for safety critical applications. While the guaranteed integrity performance of GPS and Galileo is publicly available, their integrity assurance procedure and related methodology have not been released to the public in an official document format. This paper summarizes the integrity assurance procedures of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Galileo, which were utilized during their system development, through a literature survey of their integrity assurance methodology. GPS Block II assures system integrity using the following methods: continuous performance monitoring and maintenance on Space Segment (SS) and Control Segment (CS), through a cause and effect analysis of anomalies and a failure analysis. In GPS Block III, to achieve more stringent integrity performance, safety requirements are integrated into the system design and development from its starting phase to the final phase. Galileo's integrity performance is provided in the Integrity Support Message (ISM) format, as Galileo utilizes a Dual Frequency Multi Constellation (DFMC) Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) and Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) to serve safety critical applications. The integrity performance of Galileo is ensured by using a methodology similar to GPS Block II (i.e. continuous performance monitoring and maintenance on the system). The integrity assurance procedures reviewed in this paper can be utilized for a new satellite navigation system that will be developed in the near future.

Recently, a technique for acquiring spatial information data using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has been greatly developed. It is a very crucial issue of the GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping system that passes way point in the unmanned airframe and finally measures the accurate image and stable localization to the desired destination. Though positioning using DGPS (Differential Global Navigation System) or RTK-GPS (Real Time Kinematic-GPS) guarantee highly accurate, they are more expensive than the construction of a single positioning system using a single GPS. In the case of a low-priced single GPS system, the stability of the positioning data deteriorates. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the uncertainty of the absolute position data of the UAV and to improve the accuracy of the current position data economically in the operating state of the UAV. The aim of this study was to present an algorithm enhancing the stability of position data in a single GPS mode of UAV with multiple GPS. First, the arrangement of multiple GPS receivers through the center of gravity of the UAV were examined. Next, MD (Mahalanobis Distance) is applied to detect instantaneous errors of GPS data in advance and eliminate outliers to increase the accuracy of previously collected multiple GPS data. Processing procedure for multiple GPS reception data by applying the center of the triangular method were presented to improve the position accuracy. Second, UAV navigation systems integrated multiple GPS through configuration of the UAV specifications were implemented. Using the unmanned airframe equipped with multiple GPS receivers, GPS data is measured with the TCM (Triangular Center Method). In addition, UAV equipped with multiple GPS were operated in study area and locational accuracy of multiple GPS of UAV with VRS (Virtual Reference Station) GNSS surveying were compared. The result showed that the error factors are compensated, and the error range are reduced, resulting in the reliability of the corrected value. In conclusion, the result in this paper is expected to realize high-precision position estimation at low cost in UAV using multiple low-cost GPS receivers.

범지구 측위 시스템(GPS : Global Positioning System)은 미국 국방성에서 개발한 인공위성에 의한 측위 시스템으로 주로 군사용으로만 사용되던 GPS가 민간에게 개방된 것은 87년경이다. 이 시스템은 항공기와 선박의 항법, 미사일 유도 등 군사, 항법이 주목적이었으나, 그 이용 가능성은 무궁하여 측지 및 측량, 시가지 자동차 항법, GIS의 자료 구축 수단으로서 옹용 폭이 확대되고 있다. 최근 들어 국내에서도 GPS(Global Positioning System)를 이용한 임베디드 시스템 개발에 박차를 가하고 있으며, 연구 또한 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 그 대표적인 적용 사례로는 Car Navigation과 96년 한강의 서강 대교 윌슨 아치 구간의 설치 시공에 DGPS(Differential GPS)를 이용하여 cm 정확도의 정밀 위치 유도를 한 것은 성공적인 사례로 평가된다. 또한 각급 지자단체, 정부 각 부처 기관에서의 사업수행에 GPS를 이용한 사례가 점진적으로 보고 되고 있으며, 그 예로 BIS(Bus Information System) 가 널리 확산되고 있는 현실이다. 또한 국립지리원의 전자지도(NGIS)의 DB를 바탕으로 GPS를 이용하여 추후에 물류 관리제 시스템의 연구가 활발해 질 것으로 전망된다. 본 논문에서는 GPS의 시스템을 이용하여 차량용이나, 토지 공사의 위치 측정에 사용하는 부피가 큰 임베디드 시스템이 아닌 도보나 등산객, 마라톤 선수들이 사용할 수 있는, 휴대하기 용이한 Hand Held의 Proto Type을 구현해 보았다.

The mission tasks of polar exploration utilizing unmanned systems such as glacier monitoring, ecosystem research, and inland exploration have been expanded. To facilitate unmanned exploration mission tasks, precise and robust navigation systems are required. However, limitations on the utilization of satellite navigation system are present due to satellite orbital characteristics at the polar region located in a high latitude. The orbital inclination of global positioning system (GPS), which was developed to be utilized in mid-latitude sites, was designed at $55^{\circ}$. This means that as the user is located in higher latitudes, the satellite visibility and vertical precision become worse. In addition, the use of satellite-based wide-area augmentation system (SBAS) is also limited in higher latitude regions than the maximum latitude of signal reception by stationary satellites, which is $70^{\circ}$. This study proposes a local-area augmentation system that additionally utilizes Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) considering satellite navigation system environment in Polar Regions. The orbital inclination of GLONASS is $64.8^{\circ}$, which is suitable in order to ensure satellite visibility in high-latitude regions. In contrast, GLONASS has different system operation elements such as configuration elements of navigation message and update cycle and has a statistically different signal error level around 4 m, which is larger than that of GPS. Thus, such system characteristics must be taken into consideration to ensure data integrity and monitor GLONASS signal fault. This study took GLONASS system characteristics and performance into consideration to improve previously developed fault detection algorithm in the local-area augmentation system based on GPS. In addition, real GNSS observation data were acquired from the receivers installed at the Antarctic King Sejong Station to analyze positioning accuracy and calculate test statistics of the fault monitors. Finally, this study analyzed the satellite visibility of GPS/GLONASS-based local-area augmentation system in Polar Regions and conducted performance evaluations through simulations.
