Shadow Matching: A New GNSS Positioning Technique for Urban Canyons
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is unreliable in dense urban areas, known as urban canyons, which have tall buildings or narrow streets. This is because the buildings block the signals from many of the satellites. Combining GPS with other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) significantly increases the availability of direct line-of-sight signals. Modelling is used to demonstrate that...
متن کاملRobust Global Urban Localization Based on Road Maps
This paper presents a method to perform global localization in urban environments using segment-based maps in combination with particle filters. In the proposed approach the likelihood function is generated as a grid, derived from segment-based maps. The scheme can efficiently assign weights to the particles in real time, with minimum memory requirements and without any additional pre-filtering...
متن کاملAchieving Centimetre-level Positioning Accuracy in Urban Canyons with Locata Technology
In 2005 The UK Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) commenced funding a project called Visualising Integrated Information on Buried Assets to Reduce Streetworks (VISTA). The project aims to precisely map buried assets (gas pipes, telecom cables, etc) and increase the efficiency of the process in challenging environments such as in urban canyons, where GPS fails to work or is not reliable eno...
متن کاملImproved Global Urban Localization Based on Road Maps and 3 D Detection of Road Intersections
This paper presents an improved version of the localizer presented in [1]. In the previous approach, partially known road maps and low quality dead reckoning information are processed by a Monte Carlo fusion algorithm for globally localizing a vehicle in urban context under temporary or permanent denial of GPS signal. The original approach, however, could temporarily present weak observability ...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Positioning with Two GNSS Satellites and DSRC for Vehicles in Urban Canyons
Limited availability of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals in urban canyons is a preventive factor for implementing many position-based systems. Specifically for vehicles, a variety of applications such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), navigation, and Location-Based Services (LBS) are not properly functional in dense urban areas due to constrained visibility of th...
