In-run bias stability of 0.03 deg/hr and ARW of 0.002 deg/rt(hr) have been achieved. Gyro performance was measured on tuning-fork type MEMS gyroscopes using DSP-based breadboard electronics. These bias stability and ARW results are within about 6X and 2X, respectively, of meeting the typical gyrocompass requirements for pointing and targeting applications (1 milliradian azimuth precision at 65 degrees latitude with 5 minute integration time). A MEMS gyrocompass meeting these requirements would substantially reduce the size, weight and power of pointing and targeting instruments. The test methodology will be presented, as well as test data on carouseling the sensor to reduce the effects of long-term bias drift.","PeriodicalId":94036,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/ION Position Location and Navigation Symposium : [proceedings].

To cope with both straight and curved road, the system recognized the road type based on the vehicle's GPS position and digital map data, and designated different schemes for detection. Unlike the known systems that have treated lane marking as a single entity, this system focused on the inner edge of the stripe to locate a vehicle in a lane accurately. The camera's installation parameters, especially the pitch angle, were estimated using the real-time detection results to compensate for changes in the vehicle's pose. Using an “estimate-detect” style, adjacent-lane markings were detected even when they were partly blocked by other vehicles.","PeriodicalId":94036,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/ION Position Location and Navigation Symposium : [proceedings].

More specifically, the GPS signal parameters, carrier Doppler, code phase and carrier to noise power density (C/N0), from different GPS receivers are investigated. It shows that as the antenna spacing is small (<30 meters) the code phase and carrier Doppler are quite in-common. The code phase falls into the same code bin, while the carrier Doppler difference is mainly due to the clock drifts from different receivers. It also shows that the C/N0 difference is within a certain range (more than 90% is less than 8dB). The impacts of imperfection of these parameters on GPS signal acquisition are then studied in terms of probability of detection and probability of false alarm. Based on the field measurements and the theoretical analysis, the potential advantage of collaborative GPS signal acquisition is present.","PeriodicalId":94036,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/ION Position Location and Navigation Symposium : [proceedings].

However, the infrastructure indoors inflicts multiple disturbances to the positioning sensors. A knowledge-based error detection and correction method is applied to detect and eliminate the occurring gross errors. Six modes of user dynamics are extracted from measurements of a barometer and an accelerometer, and such contexts can improve the positioning accuracy and enhance the user experience of the final navigation application.","PeriodicalId":94036,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/ION Position Location and Navigation Symposium : [proceedings].

Two major propagation delay distortion sources are considered: the ionosphere and multipath. Initial analysis shows that the ionospheric delay errors can be reduced to being comparable to the receiver impairments (when the error due to multipath is low) and the maximum multipath error (under low ionospheric distortions) can be reduced to half a meter. Under extremely high ionospheric delay distortions, the multipath delay error envelope, with the proposed technique, will suffer no change in the magnitude of the error except that the spatial characteristics are different. The underlying idea of the proposed technique is that difference in the phase delays of the E5a and E5b signal tracking is simply the slope of the phase response over the entire band and hence represents the group delay at the E5 center frequency of 1191.795 MHz. The group delay which appears as the code phase error for the E5 signal tracking, can thus be compensated except for the occurrence of higher order errors","PeriodicalId":94036,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/ION Position Location and Navigation Symposium : [proceedings].

It considers how to achieve the authentication that is compatible with the current augmentation system and its users. It also considers how to perform the security necessary to support authentication within the current NAS framework. One important issue is secure key distribution and the paper presents some options designed to be reasonable for aviation infrastructure and operations. One means is a key distribution protocol that utilizes the operation of the aircraft and air traffic to aid in key verification. This provides to distribute keys and provide some ability to validate them without significant additions to the NAS. Another issue is bandwidth. The paper presents ways of modifying protocols such as TESLA to reduce bandwidth use while maintaining an acceptable level of security. The paper uses the current L1 SBAS and GBAS as case studies. The paper presents reasonable method to provide authentication on the current SBAS using about ten percent of bandwidth. The method is compatible to current SBAS user equipment in that they will not be adversely affected. GBAS can employ similar means. As it has greater data bandwidth, a more critical issue for GBAS is key distribution to the ground stations.","PeriodicalId":94036,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/ION Position Location and Navigation Symposium : [proceedings].
