Shadow Matching: A New GNSS Positioning Technique for Urban Canyons
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is unreliable in dense urban areas, known as urban canyons, which have tall buildings or narrow streets. This is because the buildings block the signals from many of the satellites. Combining GPS with other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) significantly increases the availability of direct line-of-sight signals. Modelling is used to demonstrate that...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Positioning with Two GNSS Satellites and DSRC for Vehicles in Urban Canyons
Limited availability of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals in urban canyons is a preventive factor for implementing many position-based systems. Specifically for vehicles, a variety of applications such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), navigation, and Location-Based Services (LBS) are not properly functional in dense urban areas due to constrained visibility of th...
متن کاملModeling GNSS Signals in Urban Canyons using Visibility Graphs
This paper addresses the problem of modeling and simulating RF-signals captured by receivers of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in urban canyons. The presence of tall buildings in urban canyons often block lines of sight between receivers and GNSS satellites, and therefore signals reach the receivers indirectly, after bouncing off buildings. These multi-path and echo-only effects are...
متن کاملImproving Accuracy of GNSS Devices in Urban Canyons
This paper addresses the problem of calculating the accurate position of a GNSS device operating in an urban canyon, where lines of sight (LOS) with navigation satellites are too few for accurate trilateration calculation. We introduce a post-processing refinement algorithm, which makes use of a 3D map of the city buildings as well as captured signals from all traceable navigation satellites. T...
متن کاملLocata: A new positioning technology for classically difficult GNSS environments
Despite the popularity and maturity of RTK GPS (GNSS), acceptable performance is heavily dependent on a relatively unobstructed sky-view, where there are at least five satellites with good geometry available, and on the reliability of the wireless data link used for differential corrections. In so-called “difficult” environments where satellite obstruction is common, such as open-pit mining and...
