Modern navigation systems use multi-sensor-systems for location determination in combination with GPS or DGPS. Limitations in the availability of satellites due to shadowing and multi path effects in urban areas, magnetic disturbances, wheel slips and erro ...
Swarms of flying robots are promising in many applications due to rapid terrain coverage. However, there are numerous challenges in realising autonomous operation in unknown indoor environments. A new autonomous flight methodology is presented using relati ...
Roads right across Europe are becoming more congested and governments and regional authorities are looking for ways to better manage the existing road network. One tool that is being increasingly promoted to tackle the congestion challenge is Road User Cha ...
This paper describes a prototype solution which has been developed to provide both the positioning availability and integrity required for this application. The SIGNATURE (SImple GNSS Assisted & TrUsted REceiver) solution includes an assistance service whi ...
This project is based on the ongoing data collection campaign by Nokia Re- search Center-Lausanne. We use location data sampled everyday by mobile phones in the campaign to estimate position of the participants. It is with emerging mobile systems that comb ...
The single-source shortest path problem (SSSP) frequently arises in practical applications of todays Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). E.g. for route planning or traffic assignment, several variants of Dijkstra’s algorithm or the A* algorithm have been ...
Self-localization of an underwater vehicle is particularly challenging due to the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) reception or features at known positions that could otherwise have been used for position computation. Thus Autonomous Underwater V ...

This research presents methods for performance analysis in sports through the integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements with Inertial Navigation System (INS). The described approach focuses on strapdown inertial navigation using Micro-Ele ...
Navigation and positioning techniques will play a key role in most of the road applications. Most of the vehicles are equipped with GPS for route guidance. However challenging applications require most advanced navigation technology for positioning integri ...
The feasibility of high-throughput scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) of strongly tilted (tilt angles ≤4°) and curved substrates (diameter of curvature ≥9 cm) is demonstrated by brushing them with a soft linear array of carbon microelectrodes. This ...
