In this paper, we introduce commercial indoor navigation systems being deployed and serviced in many fields of industry focusing on their indoor positioning technologies. Indoor positioning technology is a technology that locates people or targets in the interior of a building. To do that, it utilizes radio waves such as WiFi, and bluetooth, magnetic fields, or other sensory information from smart phones. We present indoor navigation systems categorizing them into their indoor positioning technologies. We define important performance issues for indoor positioning technologies and analyze them according to the performance issues. We believe that this paper provide wise view and necessary information for recent indoor navigation systems.

Fundamentally, there are 5 systems are needed for autonomous navigation of unmanned ground vehicle: Localization, environment perception, path planning, motion planning and vehicle control. Path planning and motion planning are accomplished based on result of the environment perception process. Thus, high reliability of localization and the environment perception will be a criterion that makes a judgment overall autonomous navigation. In this paper, via map matching using vehicle dynamic model and LIDAR sensors, replace high price localization system to new one, and have researched an algorithm that lead to robust autonomous navigation. Finally, all results are verified via actual unmanned ground vehicle tests.

In this paper, we proposed the intelligent navigation agent model for successive electronic commerce management. For allowing intelligence, we used fuzzy theory. Fuzzy theory is very useful method where keywords have vague conditions and system must process that conditions. So, using theory, we proposed the model that can process the vague keywords effectively. Through the this, we verified that we can get the more appropriate navigation result than any other crisp retrieval keywords condition.

The Korean e-Navigation operating system is designed to provide various services related to marine safety. These services are not configured to be provided in one software, but are made in separate software. In order to integrate the service software installed in the e-Navigation operating system, it is necessary to define the data message which can exchange data between the service software, Depending on the operating concept of the service, many messages are expected to be transmitted over the network in a short time. There is a need for a buffer or message queue to store messages as a way to manage messages efficiently. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the types and characteristics of Advanced Message Queuing Protocol(AMQP) suitable for Korean e-Navigation operating system and shows that's result.

This paper presents a method for improving the positioning accuracy of the laser navigation. As a wireless navigation system, the laser navigation which is more flexible than a wired guidance system is used for the localization and control of an AGV(automatic guided vehicle). However, the laser navigation causes the large positioning error while the AGV turns or moves fast. To solve the problem, we propose the method for improving the positioning accuracy of the laser navigation using particle filter which has robust and reliable performance in non-linear/non-gaussian systems. For the experiment, we use the actual fork-type AGV. The AGV has a gyro, two encoders and a laser navigation. To verify the performance, the proposed method is compared with the laser navigation which is a product. In the experimental result, we verified that the proposed method could improve the positioning accuracy by approximately 66.5%.

Korean e-Navigation is a system that introduced to reduce maritime accidents. In order to reduce marine accidents, Korean e-Navigation provides the following services-"Vulnerable Vessel Monitoring", "Vulnerable Vessel support & monitoring", "Optimal safety route", "ENC Streaming for Small Vessel", "Tug & Barge Support", "Maritime Safety Information Providing". Each Service is a system separated into finctional units and integrated into Korean e-Navigation. Korean e-Navigation is introducing data middleware to integrate each service and the DDS(Data Distribution Service) is judged to be effective. Thus, this paper analyzed the characteristics of DDS middleware types suitable for each service of e-Navigation.

It has been integrated into several navigation systems. This paper shows that system recognizes difficult indoor roads and open area without any specific mark such as painted guide line or tape. In this method, Robot navigates with visual sensors, which uses visual information to navigate itself along the road. An Artificial Neural Network System was used to decide where to move. It is designed with USB web camera as visual sensor.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) explicitly stipulates the required performance of satellite based radio-navigation systems available for navigational purposes. Until 2019, the IMO had only recognized systems that could be serviced globally for satellite based radio-navigation. However, India's regional navigation satellite system has been approved recently, and other regional navigation satellite systems have also been made available for maritime navigation. Thus far, the IMO has approved the use of a total of five satellite navigation systems, such as the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and NavIC. In Korea, in addition to the four satellite based radio-navigation systems that are used excluding NavIC, Japan's regional navigation satellite system that has not yet been approved can be received. Japan has requested the IMO to recognize the QZSS as a WWRNS to formalize its use for ocean navigations. Given that the service coverage of the QZSS is not limited to Japanese territorial waters and also includes Korean waters, the suitability analysis of the QZSS for domestic navigation is important for maritime safety. This study aims to analyze the suitability of using the QZSS for domestic navigation. Accordingly, this work explores the status and plans of the QZSS as well as the performance required by the IMO for recognition as a WWRNS. The methods and environmental conditions examined in this work are described, and the analyzed results are presented in terms of positioning accuracy and availability.

In recent years alternative navigation system such as a DBRN (Data-Base Referenced Navigation) system using geophysical information is getting attention in the military navigation systems in advanced countries. Specifically TRN (Terrain Referenced Navigation) algorithm research is important because TRN system is a practical DBRN application in South Korea at present time. This paper presents an integrated navigation algorithm that combines a linear profile-based TRN and INS (Inertial Navigation System). We propose a correlation analysis method between TRN performance and terrain roughness index. Then we propose a conditional position update scheme that utilizes the position output of the conventional linear profile type TRN depending on the terrain roughness index. Performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through Monte Carlo computer simulations using the actual terrain database. The results show that the TRN/INS integrated algorithm, even when the initial INS error is present, overcomes the shortcomings of linear profile-based TRN and improves navigation performance.
