Description

This course presents an overview of the various satellite-based and non-satellite navigation technologies and some of their applications. Various user receiver configurations, system augmentations and implementation issues will be analysed. These include: differential GPS schemes and services, real-time systems and their communication links, pseudo-range and carrier phase-based techniques, pseudolites, and other satellite-based positioning systems. In addition, the role of other sensors (such as gyros, accelerometers and inertial navigation systems - INS) and ancillary data can play in navigation will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role such positioning technologies will play in Transport Telematics and for personal location, in relation to Location-Based Services, etc. Students will gain hands-on experience with a variety of navigation technology.
