The reduction of multipath errors is a significant challenge in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), especially when receiving non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signals. However, selecting line-of-sight (LOS) satellites correctly still difficult task dense urban areas, even with latest GNSS receivers. This study demonstrates new method utilization C/N0 to detect NLOS elevation-dependent threshold setting may be effective mitigating errors. fluctuation affected by signals quite large. If...
To utilize RTK-GNSS in urban areas, it is important to predict areas which can be used. The performance of RTKGNSS depends on the geometry and number visible satellites signal quality. These parameters potentially predicted using simulations that consider relative between receiver surrounding objects. In this study, we first verified whether GNSS quality correctly 3D models buildings measurement data. Subsequently, FIX status RTK predicted. results show measured have good was agreement at...
To simulate radio propagation in a dynamic indoor environment such as factory operating with moving people and automated guided vehicles (AGV), we devised technique to determine shielding losses by objects based on ray tracing. For object environment, conventional ray-tracing methods require simulation of each snapshot object. This requires too much time for real-time predictions. The proposed method first calculates the static using without object, then loss caused is included through...
The reflections and diffractions of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals from buildings may produce large measurement errors. Detecting non-line-of-sight using 3D maps is a means to detect exclude satellites with However, the true position typically needed for maps. In this study, we verify assumption that an approximate user can be used when We found correct fixed real-time kinematic GNSS (RTK-GNSS) could achieved positions RTK-GNSS assisted by were within 5-15m position.
Support system for safe driving heavily depends on global navigation satellite system. Pseudoranges between satellites and vehicles are measured to compute vehicles’ positions their relative positions. In urban areas, however, multipath errors (MPEs) in pseudoranges, caused by obstruction reflection of roadside buildings, greatly degrade the precision On other hand, simply removing all reflected signals might lead a shortage fixing our previous work, we suggested solving this dilemma...

Position information plays an important role in support system for safe driving, where inter-vehicle distance is used to prevent collision accidents from happening. In urban areas, however, multipath propagation of GPS signals degrades the accuracy absolute positions and deduced relative position. On other hand, simply removing reflected might lead a shortage satellites fixing positions. our previous work, we suggested cooperative positioning improve adjacent vehicles so as this paper, focus...
