To obtain the system requirement specification in the beginning of the precision guidance system development, the effectiveness and reliability analysis for the system are necessary. The main purpose of this research is to obtain the system requirement specification for the high speed unmanned underwater vehicles by carrying out the effectiveness analysis using the modeling and simulation scheme. The effectiveness is position error for target position. Reaching accuracy is expected to be affected by the navigation sensor parameter. Assume that the navigation sensors that is consist of inertial navigation system(INS) and doppler velocity log(DVL) is the parameter. To analyze the effectiveness of each parameter, Monte-Carlo numerical simulation is performed in this research. The effectiveness analysis is carried out using circular error probability(CEP) and variance analyze scheme. Considering the cost function, the specification of the navigation sensor is provided. The cost function is consist of the INS and DVL specification and the price of those sensors.

This paper presents the results of an integrated navigation performance analysis for selecting the sensor of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) using Monte Carlo numerical simulation. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) and Doppler velocity log (DVL) are considered to build the integrated navigation system. The position error and price of the sensor are selected as performance indices to evaluate the volunteer integrated navigation systems. Monte-Carlo simulation is introduced to analyze the circular error probability (CEP) and its variance. Simulation results provide the proper sensor combination for integrated navigation in relation to the performance and price.

This paper describes a robust algorithm for an integrated underwater navigation system based on VKF (velocity Kalman filter). The proposed approach relies on a VKF, augmented by the altitude from an echo-sounder-based switching architecture to yield robust performance, even when DVL (Doppler velocity log) exceeds the measurement range and the measured value cannot be valid. The proposed approach relies on three parts: 1) PINS (pure inertial navigation system), 2) VKF design, and 3) VKF-aided integrated navigation filter design. To evaluate the proposed method, we compare the results of the VKF-aided navigation system with the simulation result from a PINS and conventional INS-DVL method.

본 논문은 실내 환경에서 스마트 워치(smart watch)를 이용하여 사용자의 원시 데이터를 수집, 가공하고, 이를 통해 사용자의 다양한 복합 동작을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 사용자의 동작을 인식하는 방법들은 다양하다. 특히 최근 웨어러블 기기(wearable device)들이 각광받으면서 웨어러블 기기를 이용하여 인체 동작이나 활동 상태 등의 생체신호를 인식하려는 다양한 시도가 일어나고 있다. 하지만 동작이나 활동 상태에 관한 많은 연구들이 센서를 허리에 부착하는 등의 특정한 상황만을 상정하거나 위성항법장치(GPS, global positioning system)에 의존한 실외 환경에 국한되어 있는데, 이는 대부분의 시간을 가정과 직장, 이동 수단 등의 실내 환경에서 소비하는 현대인들의 시간 소비 패턴과는 거리가 있다. 본 연구에서는 스마트 워치의 가속도계(accelerometer), 각속도계(gyroscope), 심박계(heart bit), 압력계(barometer) 등 다양한 센서를 통해 원시데이터를 수집, 가공하여 사용자의 앉기, 서기, 오르막이나 내리막의 걷고 뛰기, 계단의 오르내리기 등 실내에서 일어날 수 있는 복합 동작을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper presents an underwater hybrid navigation system for a semi-autonomous underwater vehicle (SAUV). The navigation system consists of an inertial measurement unit (IMU), an ultra-short baseline (USBL) acoustic navigation sensor and a doppler velocity log (DVL) accompanying a magnetic compass. The errors of inertial measurement units increase with time due to the bias errors of gyros and accelerometers. A navigational system model is derived to include the error model of the USBL acoustic navigation sensor and the scale effect and bias errors of the DVL, of which the state equation composed of the navigation states and sensor parameters is 25 in the order. The conventional extended Kalman filter was used to propagate the error covariance, update the measurement errors and correct the state equation when the measurements are available. Simulation was performed with the 6-d.o.f. equations of motion of SAUV in a lawn-mowing survey mode. The hybrid underwater navigation system shows good tracking performance by updating the error covariance and correcting the system's states with the measurement errors from a DVL, a magnetic compass and a depth senor. The error of the estimated position still slowly drifts in horizontal plane about 3.5m for 500 seconds, which could be eliminated with the help of additional USBL information.

스마트폰의 빠른 보급으로 위치기반 서비스 (Location Based Service)가 새롭게 주목 받고 있다. 위치기반 서비스는 이동통신망이나 위성항법장치 (GPS) 등을 통해 얻은 위치정보를 바탕으로 이용자에게 여러 가지 서비스를 제공하는 서비스를 말한다. 현재 위치기반 서비스는 소셜 네트워크 서비스, 증강현실, 게임 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 단순 정보뿐만 아니라 복합 상황정보를 이용한 안전 및 사고예방을 위한 애플리케이션은 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 휴대성과 이동성의 장점을 가진 스마트 모바일 환경에서 위치기반 서비스를 통해 상황정보를 제공하는 지능형 감시 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 본 시스템은 감시대상자가 소지한 스마트폰의 GPS를 이용하여 위치 데이터를 획득하고, 기울기 및 압력 센서 등을 이용하여 감시대상자의 상태정보를 획득 한다. 또한 이러한 위치 데이터와 센싱 데이터를 지도 OpenAPI, 날씨 OpenAPI, 안전/위험지역 설정 등의 기능과 결합하여 지능적 복합 상황정보로 표현한다. 이러한 기능들을 안드로이드 기반 애플리케이션으로 개발함으로써 감시자 또한 모바일 환경에서 감시할 수 있도록 한다. 이를 통해 감시자는 이동하면서 원거리에 있는 감시대상자의 실시간 이동경로와 복합 상황정보를 확인하고 알림 받을 수 있다. 이와 같은 기능을 통해 아동 범죄, 노약자 보호 등의 문제를 해결할 수 있다.

Because the global positioning system (GPS) is not available in underwater environments, an inertial navigation system (INS)/doppler velocity log (DVL) integrated navigation system is generally implemented. In general, an INS/DVL integrated system adopts a loosely coupled method. However, in this loosely coupled method, although the measurement equation for the filter design is simple, the velocity of the body frame cannot be accurately measured if even one of the DVL transducer signals is not received. In contrast, even if only one or two velocities are measured by the DVL transducers, the tightly coupled method can utilize them as measurements and suppress the error increase of the INS. In this paper, a filter was designed to regenerate the measurements of failed transducers by taking advantage of the tightly coupled method. The regenerated measurements were the normal DVL transducer measurements and the estimated velocity in RPM. In order to effectively estimate the velocity in RPM, a filter was designed considering the effects of the tide. The proposed filter does not switch all of the measurements to RPM if the DVL transducer fails, but only switches information from the failed transducer. In this case, the filter has the advantage of being able to be used as a measurement while continuously estimating the RPM error state. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to determine the performance of the proposed filters, and the scope of the analysis was shown by the standard deviation ($1{\sigma}$, 68%). Finally, the performance of the proposed filter was verified by comparison with the conventional tightly coupled method.

This paper proposes a waypoint guidance algorithm for the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV). The proposed simplified guidance algorithm is presented, which is combined LOS guidance and cross-track guidance for path following. Cross-track error is calculated using the position of the AUV and reference path. LOS guidance and cross-track guidance are appropriately changed according to cross-track error. And the stability of the system has been improved using variable cross-track control gain by cross-track error. Also, in this paper, navigation hardware in-the loop simulation(HILS) is implemented to verify navigation algorithm of AUV that performs combined navigation using inertial navigation device and doppler velocity log(DVL). Finally, we design integrated system HILS (including navigation HILS) for performance verification of guidance algorithm of the autonomous underwater vehicle. By comparing the sea test result with HILS result, the proposed guidance algorithm and HILS configuration were confirmed be correct.

Recently, the demand for a PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system based on autonomous navigation is increasing. Accordingly, the applicability investigations of the PRT system on rail tracks or roadways have been widely studied. In the case of unmanned vehicle operations without physical guideways on roadways, to monitor the position of the vehicle in real time is very important for stable, robust and reliable guidance of an autonomous vehicle. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been commercially used for vehicle positioning. However, it cannot be applied in environments as tunnels or interiors of buildings. The PRT navigation system based on magnetic markers reference sensing that can overcome these environmental restrictions and the vehicle dynamics model for its H/W configuration are presented in this study. In addition, the design of a control S/W dedicated for unmanned operation of a PRT vehicle and its prototype implementation for experimental validation on a pilot network were successfully achieved.
