This interdisciplinary project develops a highly novel total network strategy for real-time kinematic GPS positioning services using the Internet communication protocols for data transmission. The proposed system is technically superior to existing network-based differential GPS (DGPS) systems, by providing positioning services at different accuracy levels (metre to centimetre) with reduced operational cost to users. The research focuses on improved network operations and processing, along with developing user-specific algorithms. The outcomes are expected to provide significant opportunities for both real time and near-real-time kinematic positioning applications and commercialisations of such services, in urban and regional areas of Australia.Read moreRead less
Development of a High Integrity Airborne Navigation Sensor for Aviation Communities using Terrestrial Based Infrastructure. The widespread adoption of GPS for aviation, which will allow safer and cheaper air-travel, is hindered by the lack of integrity (truth) information in the system. This research will develop new methodologies, based on low-cost MEMS sensors, to improve the integrity availability of the GPS when augmented with the Ground-based Regional GPS Augmentation System (GRAS). These m ....Development of a High Integrity Airborne Navigation Sensor for Aviation Communities using Terrestrial Based Infrastructure. The widespread adoption of GPS for aviation, which will allow safer and cheaper air-travel, is hindered by the lack of integrity (truth) information in the system. This research will develop new methodologies, based on low-cost MEMS sensors, to improve the integrity availability of the GPS when augmented with the Ground-based Regional GPS Augmentation System (GRAS). These methodologies will be used in the development of next generation airborne navigation sensors. The work builds on the world-leading position that Airservices Australia has made in the development of the GRAS, the navigation expertise of GPSat Systems and the GPS expertise of the QUT.Read moreRead less

Summary
A Signal Simulation Facility for GNSS Receiver Design and Testing. The proposed Facility comprises a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) RF Signal Simulator which allows laboratory testing of new signal tracking and navigation solution algorithms, under different scenarios. Simulation of the operation of current and future GPS satellites, and of the new European GNSS "Galileo", is vital for testing new receiver designs. For example, the Facility could be programmed to generate a GPS satell ....A Signal Simulation Facility for GNSS Receiver Design and Testing. The proposed Facility comprises a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) RF Signal Simulator which allows laboratory testing of new signal tracking and navigation solution algorithms, under different scenarios. Simulation of the operation of current and future GPS satellites, and of the new European GNSS "Galileo", is vital for testing new receiver designs. For example, the Facility could be programmed to generate a GPS satellite signal with user-selectable physical variations in the signal path, including the presence of RF jamming sources, high atmospheric disturbances, diffraction effects and multipath. As many of the signal variations are rare and/or unpredictable, the Signal Simulator is the only means to carry out such tests.Read moreRead less
