Accuracy of an integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) / Inertial Navigation System (INS) relies heavily on the visibility of GPS satellites. Especially, its accuracy is dramatically degraded in urban canyon due to signal obstructions due to large structures. In this paper, we propose a new integrated positioning system that effectively combines INS, GPS, ultrasonic sensor, and barometer in GPS-denied environments. In the proposed system, the ultrasonic sensor provides velocity information along the forward direction of moving vehicle. The barometer output provides height information compensated for the pressure variation due to fast vehicle movements. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, an experiment was carried out by mounting the proposed system on a test car. By the experiment result, it was confirmed that the proposed system bears good potential to maintain positioning accuracy in harsh urban environments.

본 논문은 아날로그형 자기위치 장치(magnetic positioning system)의 개발과 퍼지 추론 시스템(FIS: fuzzy inference system)을 통한 정밀도 향상에 관한 것이다. 자기위치 장치는 무인운반차(AGV: automatic guided vehicle)의 자기-자이로 유도장치(magnet-gyro guidance system)에 사용되는 장치로, 바닥에 매설된 자석의 위치를 계측하는 장치이다. 기존의 판매되고 있는 자기-자이로 유도 장치는 외국에서 독점 판매되고 있어, 국내에서는 가격이 매우 비싸다. 또한, 자기위치 장치에 디지털 타입의 단극성 홀센서를 이용하기 때문에 위치측정 정밀도가 낮다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 자기위치 장치를 직접 개발하였고 퍼지 추론 시스템을 통해 자기위치 장치의 정밀도 향상시켰다. 실험은 직접 개발한 아날로그형 자기위치 장치를 이용하였으며, 기존의 위치측정 방법과 제안된 방법의 성능을 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 자기위치 장치의 정밀도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

In the maglev system, accurate train position is essential for safe and efficient train operation. Train positioning systems in the maglev systems are different from conventional railway system because railway train has no wheels. And various train positioning principles and systems have been used in maglev systems. In this paper, we study several positioning principles and systems on adapting existing various maglev systems and analyze functional structure of absolute positioning system in ultra high speed maglev system. Then we propose development scheme on absolute positioning system for developing ultra high speed maglev system.

Location Based Service (LBS) provides high-value added service to users and various works about IBS have been actively performed. The core technology or LBS is positioning of the users. In the field of positioning, outdoor positioning and indoor positioning are developed separately. We are proposing a design of an outdoor-indoor positioning system, implementing a prototype of the system, and verifying the usefulness of the system through experiments. Our experimental results shows that the average error of our system is 4.8 m in the case of out-door positioning and it is 3.3 m in the case of in-door positioning.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has been extensively used for geodetic applications. Since December 2012, BeiDou navigation satellite system has provided regional positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services over the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, many studies on BeiDou system have been conducted, particularly in the area of precise orbit determination and precise positioning. In this paper PPP method based on BeiDou observations are presented. GPS and BeiDou data obtained from Mokpo (MKPO) station are processed using the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) PPP software. The positions are derived from the GPS PPP, BeiDou B₁/B₂ PPP and BeiDou B₁/B₃ PPP, respectively. The position errors on BeiDou PPP show a mean bias < 2 cm in the east and north components and approximately 3 cm in the vertical component. It indicates that BeiDou PPP is ready for the precise positioning applications in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, BeiDou tropospheric zenith total delay (ZTD) is compared to GPS ZTD at MKPO station. The mean value of their difference is approximately 0.52 cm.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is undergoing dramatic changes. Nowadays, much more satellites are transmitting navigation data at more frequencies. A multi-GNSS analysis is performed to improve the positioning accuracy by processing combined observations from different GNSS. The multi-GNSS technique can improve significantly the positioning accuracy. In this paper, we present a combined Global Positioning System (GPS), the GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), the China Satellite Navigation System (BeiDou), and the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) standard point positioning (SPP) method to exploit all currently available GNSS observations at Mokpo (MKPO) station in South Korea. We also investigate the multi-GNSS data recorded at MKPO reference station. The positioning accuracy is compared with several combinations of the satellite systems. Because of the different frequencies and signal structure of the different GNSS, intersystem biases (ISB) parameters for code observations have to be estimated together with receiver clocks in multi-GNSS SPP. We also present GPS/GLONASS and GPS/BeiDou ISB values estimated by the daily average.

위치기반 서비스는 사용자의 지리적인 현재 위치를 기반으로 사용자에게 제공되는 서비스를 일컫는다. 위치기반 서비스는 고부가가치를 제공하기 때문에 기업, 산업, 그리고 개인 생활에까지 널리 적용되고 있다. 사용자의 위치 판단(측위)은 위치기반 서비스 시스템 구축에 반드시 필요한 요소 기술이다. GPS로 인하여 건물 외부에서의 측위는 성공적으로 실용되고 있으나, 옥내 측위는 많은 전략이 발표되었음에도 불구하고 일반적인 해법이 아직도 존재하지 않는다. 성공적인 옥내 측위 해법이 존재하지 않는 이유 중 하나는 현존하는 대부분의 측위 전략이 전적으로 측위에만 사용되는 특수 장치를 사용하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 부가적인 장비를 사용하지 않는 옥내 측위 전략을 소개한다. 또한, 제안하는 옥내 측위 전략과 GPS 기반의 옥외 측위 방법을 통합하여 옥내외 겸용 측위 시스템을 구축하고, 이 시스템의 실험 결과를 소개한다.

The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), a dedicated regional Japanese satellite system currently under development, was designed to complement the performance of the Global Positioning System (GPS). The high elevation angle of the QZSS satellite is expected to enhance the effectiveness of GPS in urban environments. Thus, the work described in this paper, aimed to investigate the effect of QZSS on GPS performance, by processing the GPS and QZSS measurements recorded at the Bohyunsan reference station in South Korea. We used these data, to evaluate the satellite visibility, carrier-to-noise density (C/No), performance of single point positioning, and Dilution of Precision (DOP). The QZSS satellite is currently available over South Korea for 19 hours at an elevation angle of more than 10 degrees. The results showed that the impact of the QZSS on users' vertical positioning is greatest when the satellite is above 80 degrees of elevation. As for Precise Point Positioning (PPP) performance, the combined GPS/QZSS kinematic PPP was found to improve the positioning accuracy compared to the GPS only kinematic PPP.
