  • Most of the car navigation systems pzrovide 2D or 3D virtual map-based driving guidance. One of the important issues is how to reduce cognitive burden to the driver who should interpret the abstracted information to real world driving information. Recently, an augmented reality (AR)-based navigation is considered as a new way to reduce cognitive workload by superimposing guidance information into the real world scene captured by the camera. In particular, head-up display (HUD) is popular to implement AR navigation. However, HUD is too expensive to be set up in most cars so that the HUD-based AR navigation is currently unrealistic for navigational assistance. Meanwhile, smartphones with advanced computing capability and various sensors are popularized and also provide navigational assistance. This paper presents a research on cognitive effect and responsiveness of an AR navigation by a comparative study with a conventional virtual map-based navigation on the same smartphone. This paper experimented both quantitative and qualitative studies to compare cognitive workload and responsiveness, respectively. The number of eye gazing at the navigation system is used to measure the cognitive effect. In addition, questionnaires are used for qualitative analysis of the responsiveness.

  • In this paper, we designed a software library that produces integrated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) / Inertial Navigation System (INS) navigation information using the raw measurements provided by the GNSS chipset, gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer embedded in android smartphone. Loosely coupled integration method was used to derive information of GNSS /INS integrated navigation. An application built in the designed library was developed and installed on the android smartphone. And we conducted field experiments. GNSS navigation messages were collected in the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Service (RTCM 3.0) format by the Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP). As a result of experiments, it was confirmed that design requirements were satisfied by deriving navigation such as three-dimensional position and speed, course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG), heading and protection level (PL) using the designed library. In addition, the results of this experiment are expected to be applicable to maritime navigation applications using smart device.

  • We have studied on the maritime navigation with functions of navigation route search and maritime safety information for small-size fishery ships, fishing boats, yachts, and boats in coastal seas. We have designed a smart phone application which is more exact information on marine obstacles of islands, aquafarms, and rocks by using land navigation techniques. Our navigation system is relatively easy to be used for costal navigation and may be a substitute for expensive ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display and Information System). Our system consists of maritime navigation databases to manage necessary maritime data and a mobile application to support maritime navigation for operators. We believe that our research findings can improve safety navigation in coastal seas by supporting lower cost, no time-consuming installation and maintenance, and easy-to-use operations.

  • 3D 가상환경 사용자는 목표하는 지역 또는 대상을 찾아내고 이동하기 위해 Navigation 기술을 사용한다. 3D 가상환경 개발 초기 단계에서부터 효과적인 Navigation을 위해서 Navigation Aid에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어왔으나, 환경 구조의 중요 지점만을 정리한 요약 형태의 정보를 제공하는 방법이 주를 이루고 있다. 본 논문에서는 의미기반의 Navigation을 통해 원하는 지역 또는 대상을 찾아내고 이론 3D 가상환경에서의 이동으로 연결하는 방법을 제안했다. 의미기반의 Navigation Aid는 3D 가상환경 구조와 무관하게 사람들이 생각하는 측면에서의 Navigation을 지원한다. 따라서 Navigation 대상 환경 구조에 익숙지 않은 방문자라도 유용하게 사용할 수 있으며, 환경을 구성하는 객체들의 위치가 자주 변하더라도 사용자에게 동일한 Navigation 환경을 제공하는 장점을 갖는다.

  • Inertial Navigation System (INS)/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) integrated navigation system can be used for land vehicle navigation. When the GNSS signal is blocked in a dense urban area or tunnel, however, the problem of increasing the error over time is unavoidable because navigation must be performed only with the INS. In this paper, Non-Holonomic Constraints (NHC) information is utilized to solve this problem. The NHC may correct some of the errors of the INS. However, it should be noted that NHC information is not applicable to all areas within the vehicle. In other words, the lever arm effect occurs according to the distance between the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) mounting position and the NHC effective point, which causes the NHC condition not to be satisfied at the IMU mounting position. In this paper, an INS/GNSS/NHC integrated navigation filter is designed, and this filter has a function to compensate for the lever arm effect. Therefore, NHC information can be safely used regardless of the vehicle's driving environment. The performance of the proposed technology is verified through Monte-Carlo simulation, and the performance is confirmed through experimental test.

  • This paper discusses an autonomous navigation system for urban environments. For the localization of the robot, EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) algorithm is used with odometry, angle sensor, and DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) measurement. Especially in an urban environment, DGPS is often blocked by buildings and trees and the resulting inaccurate positioning prevents the robot from safe and reliable navigation. In addition to the global information from DGPS, the local information of the curb on the roadway is used to track a route when the global DGPS information is inaccurate. For this purpose, curb detection algorithm is developed and implemented in the developed navigation algorithm. Four different types of navigation strategies are developed and they are switched to adapt to different localization conditions according to the availability of DGPS and the existence of the curbs on the roadway. The experimental results show that the designed switching strategy improves the navigation performance adapting to the environment conditions.

  • One of the tasks of maritime navigation is to decide upon the optimal navigation route that minimizes a vessals travel time and fuel consumption. Recently. ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display Information System) is used to decide the optimal navigation route and have expert knowledge of maritime navigation. In this paper, the system use $A^*$algorithm for optimal navigation route on ECDIS. But some problems is discovered in this situation. it requires many memory device and searching time. So this paper has tried to develope a advanced algorithm system that decides the optimal navigation route.

  • Cars have become a necessity in modern life. It is widely used to transport people or products to a destination conveniently. However, the addition of a navigation service that provides route information and more makes driving more convenient and safer. Recent developments in the mobile app ecosystem encourages people to adopt not only an installation-type car navigation, but also a mobile app navigation, supporting connected car concepts. It should be noted that mobile apps with mobile Internet can be a significant linkage between information acquired online and offline business. This study demonstrates the impact of the app use experience for a driver in the context of applying artificial intelligence service. As a result, the introduction of artificial intelligence services has a statistically significant moderating effect on the use of mobile navigation apps. This seminal research is valuable as it evaluates the role of artificial intelligence applied to mobile navigation apps.
