The meeds of vehicle navigation system are increassing and the accurate determination of position is still of promary improtance. GPS (Global Positioning System)receiver and low cost dead reckoning sensors have been used for vehicle position location. The integartion of these can improve the system performance to cope with accumulating errors and multipath problem in urban area. However, the implementation of integrated system of two sensors is net easy, for their real data ave noises that are not apt to be modeled. This paper discusses how to combine a GPS receiver and dead reckoning sensors. The characteriatics of sensors and their data are investigated, and the system for field test is manufactured. The test results of a selected typical route are presented.

In this paper, an integrated navigation system based on GPS(Global Positioning System) and Dead-Reckoning (DR) is designed. For the calibration of DR, a self-calibration method and a GPS-based calibration method are proposed. From the field-test results, it is shown that DR can be successfully calibrated by the two proposed calibration methods. Also, a cascaded filter approach and a mixed-measurement algorithm are employed for GPS/DR integration. By using the newly proposed mixed-measurement algorithm, it is shown in simulation that the position error becomes smaller than by using only DR even if the number of visible GPS satellites is less than 4.

This paper introduces a GPS-aided dead reckoning algorithm that asymptotically estimates the heading bias error of a magnetic compass based on geodetic north, improves the position error accumulated by dead reckoning, and helps the estimated position of an AUV to represent a position in the NED coordinate system, by receiving GPS position information when surfaced. Based on the results of a simulation, the locational error was bounded with a modest distance, after estimating the AUV position and heading bias error of the magnetic compass when surfaced. In other words, it was verified that proposed algorithm improves the position error in the NED coordinate system.

In this paper, a personal navigation system is developed using GPS and dead reckoning sensors. This personal navigation system can be used to track a person inside a building, on an urban street, and in the mountain area. GPS can provide accurate absolute position information, but it cant be used without receiving enough satellite signals. Although the inertial sensors such as gyro an accelerometer and be used without this diggiculty, the inertial sensors severely suffer from their drift errors and the magne-tometer can be easily distorted by surrounding electromagnetic field. GPS and DR sensors can be inte-grated together to overcome these problems. A new personal navigation system that can be carried wit person is developed. A pedometer. actually vertically mounted accelerometer, detects ones footstep and gyro detects heading angle. These DR sensors are integrated with GPS and the humans walking pattern provides additional navigation information for compensating the DR sensors. The field testes are performed to evaluated the proposed navigation algorithm.

The way which estimates a position from Navigation is Dead-reckoning Navigation and Radio Navigation. Generally dead-reckoning navigation uses Gyro and odometer as sensor, but these have problems which are an integrating noise and a noise-sensitivity. Gps which is used by radio-navigation has a Troposthetic error and MultiPath ewer and so on. For minimizing a Troposthetic error and a Multipath error, this paper suggests to an algorithm which use vanishing point on CCD camera.

GPS is especially suitable for location systems in flat areas, but the availability of GPS is limited in highly urbanized and mountain areas, due to the nature of satellite communications. Dead reckoning is generally used to solve a location problem when a pedestrian is out of range of GPS coverage. To extend the apparent coverage of the GPS system for a hiker in mountain areas, we propose an integrated 3D location system that interpolates a 3D dead reckoning system based on information about contour lines. The speeds of hikers vary according to the inclination of the ground in sloped areas such as mountains. To reduce location measurement errors, we determine the angle of inclination based on the contour lines of the mountain, and use the speeds based on the inclination in the location system. The simulation results show that the proposed system is more accurate than the existing location system.

Recently, number of navigation system using GPS and other complementary sensors has been developed to offer high-position accuracy. In this paper, an integration of GPS and Dead-Reckoning, which consists of a fiber optical gyroscope and two high-precision wheel-motor encoders for a unmanned navigation system, is presented. The main objective of this integrated GPS/DR unmanned navigation system is to provide accurate position and heading navigation data continuously for autonomous mobile robot. We propose a method for increasing the accuracy of the estimated position of the mobile robot by its DR sensors, high-precision wheel-motor encoders and a fiber optical gyroscope. We used Kalman filter theory to combine GPS and DR measurements. The performance of GPS/DR navigation system is evaluated.

최근 들어, 차량 제어 기술의 집약체라 할 수 있는 자율 주행 차량에 관한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히, 자율 주행 차량의 안정적인 주행과 직결되는 자기 위치 인식 기술에 관한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어져 왔으며, GPS가 갖는 한계점을 보완하기 위한 다양한 추측항법 기술이 소개되어져왔다. 하지만 기존의 추측항법들은 추가적으로 센서를 장착해야하는 단점과 차량 거동의 급격한 변화로 인하여 자기 위치 인식 정확도가 떨어진다는 단점을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 추측항법의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 대부분의 차량에 장착되어 있는 휠속 센서(Wheel Speed Sensor)를 활용하고, 휠속 센서에서 계측된 값을 토대로 타이어 슬립율(Slip ratio)을 추정하여 차량의 급격한 거동 변화에 대응하기 위한 새로운 개념의 슬립율 기반의 추측항법 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 기존의 추측항법 알고리즘과의 성능을 비교 평가하기 위해서 차량의 거동이 급격하게 변화하는 상황이 포함된 시뮬레이션 환경을 구성하여 그 결과를 비교하였다.

일반적으로 보행자의 위치를 파악하는데 사용하는 시스템을 개인 항법 장치 (PNS: Personal Navigation System)라고 한다. 위성 항법 시스템(GPS: Global Positioning System)은 PNS의 대표적인 사례이나, GPS 위성 신호 수신이 어려운 지역에서는 적용이 어려운 단점이 있다. GPS 신호 음영지역에서의 위치정보를 획득하기 위한 방법으로서 보행자 관성 항법(PDR: Pedestrian Dead Reckoning)은 별도의 인프라 없이 관성측정장치(IMU: Inertial Measurement Unit)만을 이용하여 보행자의 위치를 추정하는 방식으로서 인프라 구축이 어려운 특수 분야에 적용이 적합한 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 전장환경과 같은 GPS가 제한되는 특수한 환경 하에서 보행자의 다양한 이동유형을 고려한 관성항법 기반의 보행자용 위치인식 기법을 제안한다. 걷기, 뛰기, 포복과 같은 다양한 이동 형태에 따른 보행 거리 추정을 위해 IMU에서 제공되는 센서의 정보를 활용하여 걸음 검출과 보폭 추정으로 구성되는 보행거리 추정 기법과 HDR 알고리즘과 EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) 기반의 보행방향 추정 기법을 제안한다. 또한 건물입구와 같은 GPS 신호가 수신이 되나 신뢰성이 떨어지는 구간에서의 GPS와 PDR간 위치정보 융합 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법의 성능 검증을 위해 자체 위치인식 모듈을 제작하여 국외제품과 비교 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 제안 기법은 약 600m의 이동경로에서 평균 위치오차 거리는 5.64m, 이동거리 오차율 3.41%의 결과를 보였다.

In the GPS/DR integrated system, the GPS position(or velocity) is used to compensate the DR output and to calibrate errors in the DR sensor. This synergistic relationship ensures that the calibrated DR accuracy can be maintained even when the GPS signal is blocked. Because of the observability problem, however, the DR sensors are not sufficiently calibrated when the vehicle speed is low. This problem can be solved if we use a multi-antenna GPS receiver for attitude determination instead of conventional one. This paper designs a two-antenna GPS receiver integrated with DR sensors. The proposed integration system has three remarkable features. First, the DR sensor can be calibrated regardless of the vehicle speed with the aid of two-antenna GPS receiver. Secondly, the search space of integer ambiguities in GPS carrier-phase measurements is reduced to a part of the surface of the sphere using DR heading. Thirdly, the detection resolution of cycle-slips in GPS carrier-phase measurements is improved with the aid of DR heading. From the experimental result, it is shown that the search grace is drastically reduced to about 3120 of the non-aided case and the cycle-slips of 1 or half cycle can be detected.
