Improved Vehicle Positioning in Urban Environment through Integration of GPS and Low-Cost Inertial Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate and continuous position calculation is a key task for vehicle navigation and telematics applications. In most portable car navigation and telematics devices, the position is calculated based only on GPS data. However, in urban canyons stand-alone GPS suffers signal masking and reflections of the signal from buildings, large vehicles, and other reflective surfaces. Driving tests in such metropolises as Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York show that the chance of receiving four GPS satellites required for navigation can be as low as 20% of total driving time [1]. Even when four or more satellites are available, strong multipath effect might cause a positioning error of more than 100 m.

Low-cost Image-assisted Inertial Navigation System for a Micro Air Vehicle
The increasing civilian demand for autonomous aerial vehicle platforms in both hobby and professional markets has resulted in an abundance of inexpensive inertial navigation systems and hardware. Many of these systems lack full autonomy, relying on the pilot’s guidance with the assistance of inertial sensors for guidance. Autonomous systems depend heavily on the use of a global positioning sate...
متن کاملA Performance Improvement Method for Low-Cost Land Vehicle GPS/MEMS-INS Attitude Determination
Global positioning system (GPS) technology is well suited for attitude determination. However, in land vehicle application, low-cost single frequency GPS receivers which have low measurement quality are often used, and external factors such as multipath and low satellite visibility in the densely built-up urban environment further degrade the quality of the GPS measurements. Due to the low-qual...
