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
Real-Time Integration of GPS with INS For Precise Long-Baseline Kinematic Positioning. Although Australian researchers have played an important role in the development of carrier phase-based GPS kinematic positioning algorithms and methodologies over the last two decades, investigations concerning high precision multi-sensor integration have been comparatively limited. This ARC project would go a significant way towards remedying this situation by building up theoretical and practical expertise ....Real-Time Integration of GPS with INS For Precise Long-Baseline Kinematic Positioning. Although Australian researchers have played an important role in the development of carrier phase-based GPS kinematic positioning algorithms and methodologies over the last two decades, investigations concerning high precision multi-sensor integration have been comparatively limited. This ARC project would go a significant way towards remedying this situation by building up theoretical and practical expertise in sensor integration techniques at the postdoctoral level. The outcomes of this project will represent a significant contribution to Australian R&D in the fields of precise positioning and navigation, since they will be directly applicable to the design and development of a variety of integrated multi-sensor systems.Read moreRead less
Robust Positioning Based on Ultra-Tight Integration of GPS, Pseudolites and Inertial Sensors. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been becoming an increasingly important part of the world-wide geo-spatial information infrastructure. However, the availability and reliability of GPS positioning are still major challenging issues. This project proposes a new concept of robust positioning based on the ultra-tight integration of GPS, pseudolites and inertial sensor.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been becoming an increasingly important part of the world-wide geo-spatial information infrastructure. However, the availability and reliability of GPS positioning are still major challenging issues. This project proposes a new concept of robust positioning based on the ultra-tight integration of GPS, pseudolites and inertial sensor. The expected outcomes include: 1) a novel sensor integration approach, 2) innovative smart antenna design, 3) efficient algorithms and quality control procedures for signal acquisition and tracking, which can effectively suppress interferences and enhance the weak signal tracking.Read moreRead less
