The SESAR (Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research) Joint Undertaking has recently granted the Resilient Synthetic Vision for Advanced Control Tower Air Navigation Service Provision project within the framework of the H2020 research on High Performing Airport Operations. Hereafter, we describe the project motivations, the objectives, the proposed methodology and the expected impacts...

The objective of this research was to develop an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) platform for autonomous navigation in the paddy field. The surface vehicle used in this research was a radio controlled air propeller vessel that had been modified into an unmanned surface vehicle platform. A GPS compass system was attached to the top of the USV platform as the navigation system to provide the posit...

in this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical slam/gps/ins/wlfp sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term gps failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. in addition, in gps denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...

Nowadays positioning based navigation is an integrated part of our everyday’s routine. Hence, it is hard to succeed without a GPS based navigation system in a bigger city today. However, indoor positioning and navigation are still in their infancy, although these services would be desirable in many areas. One obvious application domain is vehicle navigation in a parking garage. The use of an in...

The AD4 project aims to explore and provide an innovative Virtual Air-Space representation for ATM systemswhere 3D representations and real time interaction with air traffic/airport space are accessible to the controllers.This paper describes the D3 (D-cube) Virtual Reality framework and its use in the AD4 project to provideinnovative 4D (spatial-temporal) visualization construc...
