The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a navigation system based on satellite technology.
Its fundamental technique involves measuring the ranges between the receiver and a few …

This paper (the first part of two to be published in this journal) presents the process and
results of a critical review of the integrated GPS and inertial navigation system (INS) …

GPS is the most widely used global navigation satellite system. By design, there is no
provision for real time integrity information within the Standard Positioning Service (SPS) …

During the last 10 to 15 years, pedestrian navigation based on zero velocity updates (ZUPT)
has become very popular. One of the main reasons for this is the increasing availability of …

The deployment of Intelligent Vehicles in urban environments requires reliable estimation of
positioning for urban navigation. The inherent complexity of this kind of environments fosters …

This paper presents the second part of a study aiming at the error state selection in Kalman
filters applied to the stationary self-alignment and calibration (SSAC) problem of strapdown …

The desire to understand the orbits of the planets has a history as long as that of mankind.
How and why the planets orbit around the sun are questions in two categories. One focuses …

It has been identified that the inertial system is not a completely observable system in the
absence of maneuvers. Although the velocity errors and the accelerometer bias in the …

This is the second of two consecutive papers (Part II) in this journal on the monitoring of the
integrity of integrated GPS/INS systems. Part I established that the worst class of error for an …

The development of the orbits theory lags behind the development of satellite technology.
This book provides, for the first time in the history of human satellite development, the …
