실내에서 측위를 위해 주로 사용되는 무선 센서 네트워크(WSN)는 수신 신호 강도(RSSI)의 정확성에 의존한다. 이 RSSI는 간섭을 유발하는 여러 요인에 민감하며, 그 중 온도가 실내/외 환경에서 RSSI에 큰 영향을 미친다는 국외 연구 사례가 있다. 실내에서는 열원이나 공조 시스템으로 인해 실내 공간의 온도가 고르지 않으며, 특정 위치에서는 잦은 온도 변화가 발생한다. 특히, 실내 화재 상황 시 대피 경로 안내를 위해 정확한 측위 시스템이 요구되지만 Receiver 주변에서의 화재로 인해 국부적으로 높은 온도가 형성되어 RSSI 값에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SoC 내부 및 국부 온도와 RSSI의 상관관계 분석을 통해 RSSI에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다.

Accurate indoor localization of construction workers and mobile assets is essential in safety management. Existing positioning methods based on GPS, wireless, vision, or sensor based RTLS are erroneous or expensive in large-scale indoor environments. Tightly coupled sensor fusion mitigates these limitations. This research paper proposes a state-of-the-art positioning methodology, addressing the existing limitations, by integrating Stereo Visual Inertial Odometry (SVIO) with fiducial landmarks called AprilTags. SVIO determines the relative position of the moving assets or workers from the initial starting point. This relative position is transformed to an absolute position when AprilTag placed at various entry points is decoded. The proposed solution is tested on the NVIDIA ISAAC SIM virtual environment, where the trajectory of the indoor moving forklift is estimated. The results show accurate localization of the moving asset within any indoor or underground environment. The system can be utilized in various use cases to increase productivity and improve safety at construction sites, contributing towards 1) indoor monitoring of man machinery coactivity for collision avoidance and 2) precise real-time knowledge of who is doing what and where.

In order to reduce the time and cost of developing a navigation system, a performance evaluation platform can be used. A User Interface (UI) is required to effectively evaluate the performance, which sets parameters and gives navigation sensor signals and data display, and also displays navigation results. In this paper, a LabVIEW-based UI design method for multi-integrated navigation systems is proposed and implementation results are presented. The UI consists of a signal and data generation part and a signal and data processing part. The signal and data generation part sets parameters for the signal and data generation and displays the navigation sensor signal and data generation results. The signal and data processing part sets parameters for the signal and data processing and displays the navigation results. The signal and data generation part and signal and data processing part are designed to satisfy the requirements of the UI for a performance evaluation of the navigation system. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed UI design method, parameters of the signal and data generation and the signal and data processing are set through the LabVIEW-based UI, and the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal and inertial measurement unit data generation results and the navigation results of a GPS Software Defined Receiver (SDR) and inertial navigation system are confirmed. The implementation results show that the proposed UI design method helps users conduct an effective performance evaluation of navigation systems.

GPS(Global Positioning System)는 군사 목적으로 개발되었고, 민간인 신호(GPS L1주파수 C/A 신호)를 개방하면서 많은 발전이 이루어졌다. 현재의 위성은 하루 약 2회 주기로 지구를 공전하며 위치를 측정하는데 위성 신호 3개(초기에는 시각 오차까지 계산하기 위하여 4개)이상을 수신하는데 전파 출발 시간에서부터 수신된 위성 신호의 전파 도달 시간(TOA)까지의 데이터를 삼변측량 방식을 통해 지상 수신기 3차원 위치를 결정한다. 그러나 GPS를 활용한 내비게이션의 경우 보통 5~10m의 위치 오차가 발생하며 아파트와 실내, 터널, 공장지대 및 산악 지대 등, 많은 지역이 GPS의 사각지대 또는 오차 범위 밖의 무력화 지역으로 존재하고 있다. 따라서 GPS 위성 신호의 수신이 불가능한 지역에서 현재의 위치 정보를 획득하기 위해서는 다른 방안이 제시되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가속도와 자이로 센서가 결합된 IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit)와 지자기 센서를 이용하여 GPS 신호 수신이 불가능한 지형에서도 위치인식이 가능하도록 시스템을 설계 하였다. 9-DOF IMU와 지자기 센서를 이용한 순간 속도 값을 계산하여 현재의 위치를 추적할 수 있는 방안을 연구 하였으며 제작과 실험을 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, the iteration localization algorithm that NLOS signal is iteratively removed to get the exact location in the wireless sensor network is proposed. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, TDOA location estimation method is used, and readers are located on every 150m intervals with rectangular shape in $300m{\times}300m$ searching field. In that searching field, the error distance is analyzed according to increasing the number of iteration, sub-blink and the estimated sensor node locations which are located in the iteration range. From simulation results, the error distance is diminished according to increasing the number of the sub-blink and iteration with the proposed location estimation algorithm in NLOS environment. Therefore, to get more accurate location information in wireless sensor network in NLOS environments, the proposed location estimation algorithm removing NLOS signal effects through iteration scheme is suitable.

In case that limited resources can be mobilized, non-structural countermeasures such as 'monitoring using Information and Communication Technology might be one of solutions to mitigate disaster risks. Having established the monitoring system, operational and maintenance costs to maximize the effectiveness might trouble the authority concerned or duty attendant who is in charge. In this respect, "Guerrilla Sensor" would be very cost effective because of the inherent mobility characteristic. The sensor device with the IRIS camera and GPS (Global Positioning System) equipped, is basically battery-operated and communicates with WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). It has a strong advantage of capabilities for 'Disaster Response' with immediate and prompt action on the spot, making the best use of IoT (Internet of Things), especially with the mobile web. This paper will explain how the sensor system works in real-time GIS (Geographic Information System) pinpointing the exact location of the abnormal movement/ground displacement and notifying the registered users via SMS (Short Message Service). Real time monitoring with early warning and evaluation of current situations with LBS (Location Based Service), live image and data information can help to reduce the disaster impact. Installation of Guerrilla sensor for a real site application at Gimcheon, South Korea is also reported.

Location-Based Services(LBS) is a service that provide location information by using communication network or satellite signal. In order to provide LBS precisely and efficiently, we studied how we can reduce the error on location determination of objects such people and things. We focus on using the least square method and triangulation positioning method to improves the accuracy of the existing location determination method. Above two methods is useful if the distance between the AP and the tags can be find. Though there are a variety of ways to find the distance between the AP and tags, least squares and triangulation positioning method are wildely used. In this thesis, positioning method is composed of preprocessing and calculation of location coordinate and detail of methodology in each stage is explained. The distance between tag and AP is adjusted in the preprocessing stage then we utilize least square method and triangulation positioning method to calculate tag coordinate. In order to confirm the performance of suggested method, we developed the test program for location determination with Labview2010. According to test result, triangulation positioning method showed up loss error than least square method by 38% and also error reduction was obtained through adjustment process and filtering process. It is necessary to study how to reduce error by using additional filtering method and sensor addition in the future and also how to improve the accuracy of location determination at the boundary location between indoor and outdoor and mobile tag.

최근 도심지, 터널, 지하도 등과 같이 위성항법시스템 (GPS; global positioning system) 신호 수신이 어려운 환경에서 안정적으로 정확한 위치 해를 획득하기 위한 다중센서 결합 기법들이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. GPS 음영 지역에서의 위치 정확도를 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 초음파의 전파 특성을 활용하여 동체의 전방 속도를 추정할 수 있는 저가의 초음파 속도계(ultrasonic-speedometer)를 설계하였고, 이를 활용하여 관성항법시스템 (INS; inertial navigation system)과 효율적으로 결합하는 INS/초음파 속도계 결합 항법 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템의 성능을 분석하기 위해 차량 탑재 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 저가의 MEMS IMU (micro electro mechanical systems inertial measurement unit)를 활용하고 GPS 신호가 10초 이상 가용하지 않는 경우에도 제안된 INS/ 초음파 속도계 결합 항법 시스템은 위치 정보 정확도의 열화를 효과적으로 제한할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
