Cooperative Localization for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Alexander Bahr

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 ...

Map Matching using a multi-hypothesis approach

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 ...

NEARCTIS - Role of technologies: Positioning and Communication

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron

Positioning, tracking and communication (PTC) systems are the basic components of cooperative systems, and it is their development in recent years that has in turn made possible the idea of cooperative systems. The ongoing developments of GNSS (Global Navi ...

Performances of a New Correlation Algorithm for a Platform-independent GPS Software Receiver

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Marcel Baracchi Frei

Personal Digital Assistants (PDA’s) or mobile phones applications are not anymore restricted to wireless communications or multimedia, but have been extended to handle Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) functionalities. Consequently, the growing mar ...

A micromachined earth sensor based on measuring the gravity gradient torque

Herbert Shea, Kaustav Ghose

We present the fabrication and testing of a novel MEMS inertial sensor that directly measures the gravity gradient in low Earth orbit in order to sense the relative orientation of a satellite with respect to the Earth. Instead of the current Earth sensing ...

Hybridation MEMS/UWB pour la navigation pédestre intra-muros

Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler

Facing the expansion of geolocation needs, illustrated by the GALILEO European project, the growth of Location Based Services (LBS) and the need to identify the location of emergency mobile phone calls in Europe (standard E112), the research on localizatio ...

Fabrication and Testing of a MEMS Based Earth Sensor

Herbert Shea, Kaustav Ghose

We present a novel MEMS inertial sensor that directly measures the gravity gradient in order to sense the relative orientation of a satellite with respect to the Earth. An Earths ensor provides an orbiting satellite with a vector towards the Earth center. ...

Improving pedestrian dynamics modelling using fuzzy logic

Kamiar Aminian, Bertrand Merminod, Phillip Tomé, François Bonzon

The complementary nature of MEMS based pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR) navigation and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has long been recognised. The advantages are quite clear for those applications requiring indoor positioning and that, for one r ...
