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, pseudo-range and carrier phase-based techniques, pseudolites, terrestrial RF-based and other satellite-based positioning systems. In addition, the role of other inertial sensors (such as gyros, accelerometers and magnetometers) 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. There will be some guest lecturers from industry.
