In conventional GPS/DR integration schemes, the GPS position (or pseudo-range) information is used in calibrating DR sensors. In those schemes, however, an inaccurate calibration may degrade the position accuracy when the GPS measurement is not available. This paper presents a new integration scheme where the GPS velocity information is used in calibrating DR sensors. Also proposed is a new error model of DR sensors for calibrating the bias error and the tilt error in dynamic environments. The proposed model makes it possible that the errors of both the DR sensor parameters and the velocity are calibrated using the GPS carrier-based velocity(or the pseudo-range rate) measurement while the DR position error is calibrated using the GPS position measurement. Since the DR sensors are calibrated accurately, the positioning accuracy is drastically improved when the GPS measurements are unavailable.

A ship-to-ship (STS) lightering operation takes place in order to transfer cargo (e.g. crude oil or petroleum products) between an ocean-going ship and a service ship alongside it. Instrumental measurements to accurately determine the relative speeds and distances during the approach between the vessels would benefit the operational safety and efficiency. A velocity information GPS (VI-GPS) system, which uses the instantaneous velocity measures from carrier-phase Doppler measurement, has been applied in a field observation onboard a service ship (Aframax tanker) approaching a ship-to-be-lightered (VLCC) in open waters. This article proposes to apply VI-GPS as the input sensor to a guidance and decision-support system aiming to provide accurate velocity information to the officer in charge of an STS operation. A method for precise velocity measurement using VI-GPS was described and the measurement results were compared each other with the results of Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) and VI-GPS that showed the concept of a guidance and decision-support system applying VI-GPS with the field test results during STS operations. Also, it turned out that VI-GPS has sufficient accuracy to serve as an input sensor from the field test results.

지능형교통정보시스템에 있어서 적절한 교통량 분산을 통한 교통망의 제어 및 정확한 주행정보의 제공을 위해 현재의 교통상황 또는 링크통행정보를 정확히 판단하고 평가할 수 있는 알고리즘의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지추론시스템을 적용하여 보다 합리적으로 링크통행속도를 판단할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 교통상황을 특징짓는 세 가지 요인으로 시간, 요일, 속도를 선정하였고 이를 퍼지변수로 표현하여 링크통행속도의 예측을 위한 적절한 퍼지규칙을 선정하였다. 본 논문에서는 실제 주행실험을 통해 얻은 차량의 GPS정보만을 사용하였다. 취득한 GPS정보 중에서 신뢰도가 높은 데이터만을 선택하여 도로통행속도를 계산하였고 퍼지추론의 과정을 통해 링크주행속도를 예측하였다.

This paper proposes a fast acquisition method using INS velocity and multiple correlators for high speed vehicles. In order to reduce acquisition time in GPS receiver, the method utilizes inertial velocity information and multiple correlators. Search range of the Doppler frequency is reduced by using INS velocity and the number of cells at one search can be increased by using multiple correlators. By using both multiple correlators and the INS velocity in the acquisition, search space can be greatly reduced. Experimental results show that the method gives faster signal acquisition performance than the conventional method.

The Kinematic GPS is well known to provide a quite good accuracy of positioning within an level. Although kinematic GPS assures high precision measurement on the basis of an appreciable distance between a reference station and an observational point, it has measurable distance restriction within 20 km from a reference station on land. Therefore, it is necessary to make out a simple and low-cost method to obtain accurate positioning information without distance restriction In this paper, the velocity integration method to get the precise velocity information of a ship is explained. The experimental results of Zig-zag maneuver and Williamson turn as the ship's maneuvering test, and other experimental results of ship's movement during leaving and entering the port with low speed were shown. From the experimental results, ship's course, speed and position are compared with those obtained by kinematic-GPS, velocity integration method and dead reckoning position using Gyro-compass and Doppler-log.

Kinematic GPS provides quite good accuracy of position in cm level. Though K-GPS assures high precision measurement in cm level on the basis of an appreciable distance between a station and an observational point, but it has measurable distance restriction within 20 km from a reference station on land. So it is necessary to make out a simple and low-cost method to obtain accurate positioning information without distance restriction. In this paper, the velocity integration method to get the precise velocity information of ship is explained. Next two experimental results (Zig-zag maneuvering test and Williamson turn) as the ship's maneuvering test and also the experimental results of leaving and entering port as slow speed ship's movement were shown. In these experimental results, ship's course, speed and position are compared with those obtained by kinematic-GPS, velocity integration method and dead reckoning position using Gyro-compass and Doppler-log.

This paper presents performance improvement of the INS velocity-adided GPS carier tracking loop. To this end, INS velocity-aided GPS carrier tracking loop was modeled as a feedfoward and a feedback loop system. In the phase tracking loop, it was shown that the tracking error caused by the dynamic motion of the vehicle can be compensated with the aiding of the INS information irrespective of the loop order and bandwidth. However, the signal trcking error increases as the INS error increases. It was also shown that in order to remove the tracking error caused by INS bias error, more than or equal to 2nd order PLL should be used. Experiments were carried out and the experimental results were compared with the analysis results.

위치를 추적하기 위해 사용되는 대표적인 방법은 위성항법시스템(GPS)과 관성 항법장치(INS)이다. 위성항법장치는 어떤 한 지점에 대해 오차가 발생할 수 있으나 누적 오차가 없다는 장점이 있다. 위치 정보를 얻기 위해서 3개 이상의 위성으로부터 GPS정보를 수신하여야 하나 수신 강도가 약하거나 터널과 같은 수신 불능지역인 지역에서는 위성항법시스템의 정보를 획득할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 관성항법장치의 경우 자이로스코프 및 가속도계의 정보를 이용하여 항체의 위치 및 자세 정보를 수Hz부터 수백 Hz의 높은 데이터 송수신율로 속도 및 방향을 측정한다. 관성항법장치는 짧은 시간 동안 매우 정밀한 항법 성능을 나타내지만 가속도 및 각속도에서 속도성분으로 적분하는 과정에서 오차가 누적되어 시간이 경과함에 따라 항법 오차가 증가하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 두 시스템의 단점을 상호 보완하여 위성항법장치와 관성항법장치의 위치 정보에 센서융합 알고리즘 적용 및 실험을 통하여 성능분석을 하였다. 위성항법시스템의 수신 불능지역에서는 측정된 데이터를 SVD를 이용하여 모델링한 후 위치 보정 알고리즘을 적용하여 위치 정보를 획득하는 실험 결과를 통해 확인한다.

실내 복잡한 환경에서 이동 로봇의 정확한 이동 동작과 작업의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 보다 정확한 위치 및 방향 추정이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 이동 로봇이 실내 GPS(iGPS) 정보와 이동속도를 기반으로 위치 및 진행 방향을 강인하게 추정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 초음파를 사용한 iGPS를 기반으로 하는 실내 위치 추정 시스템은 외부 잡음과 초음파 자체의 오차를 가지고 있다. 외부 잡음과 자체 오차 한계를 가지는 환경에서 강인한 위치 및 방향 추정 시스템을 구현하기 위해 로봇의 이동 속도와 취득된 위치 정보의 불확실성을 고려한 소속 함수를 활용하여 강인한 추정 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 추정방법은 센서의 개수와 다양한 위치 오차를 고려한 모의실험을 통해 검증하였다.

In this paper deals with a unique method for measuring vehicle states such as body sideslip angle and tire sideslip angle using GPS velocity information in conjunction with other sensors. A method for integrating Inertial Navigation System (INS) sensors with GPS measurements to provide higher update rate estimates of the vehicle states is presented, and the method can be used to estimate the tire cornering stiffness. The experimental results for the GPS velocity-based sideslip angle measurement and cornering stiffness estimates are compared with the theoretical predictions. From the experimental results, it can be concluded that the proposed method has an advantage for future implementation in a vehicle safety system.
