Location-based services provide customized information or services according to the user's location. The existing localization schemes for outdoor environment are not applicable to the indoor localization system which requires higher accuracy of location estimation than that of the outdoor localization system. In this paper, we employ the received signal strength(RSS) to approximate the distance between a moving target and a reference point and use the triangulation method to estimate the location of the moving target for the indoor localization system in IEEE 802.15.4 wireless PAN(personal area network). For the indoor localization system, we propose a scheme which selects the best reference points to enhance the localization accuracy and adaptively reflects the changes in propagation environments of a moving target to the distance approximation. Through the implementation of the localization system, we have verified the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of the estimation accuracy.

With the advent of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems(ECDIS) and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) as the principal navigation equipment of E-navigation strategy, mariners will begin to practice "e-navigation" and increasingly rely upon these systems to navigate safely and efficiently. However, these electronic systems require "e-inputs" in order to function. At present, the choices for e-input are limited, and they are installation dependent. This means that the mariner must be suitably equipped in order to use an alternative e-input. If the primary e-input is lost, and the vessel is not equipped to make use of suitable alternative e-inputs, then continued operations will have to be done the "old fashioned way" using conventional navigation The final objective is a recommendation of dual harbor positioning system on the most appropriate mix of positioning systems to satisfy the marine needs for radionavigation, positioning services.

Currently, positioning methods for LBS(Location Based Service) are GPS and network-based positioning techniques that use mobile communication networks. In these methods, however, the accuracy of positioning decreases due to the propagation delay caused by the non-line-of-sight(NLOS) effect and the repeater. To address this disadvantage, the CDMA system uses Pattern Matching algorithm. The Pattern Matching algorithm constructs a database of the propagation characteristics of the RF signals measured during the GPS positioning along with the positioned locations, so that the location can be provided by comparing the propagation characteristics of the received signals and the database, upon a user's request. In the area where GPS signals are not received, however, a database cannot be constructed. There are problem that the accuracy of positioning decreases due to the area without a database Because Pattern Matching algorithm depend on database existence. Therefore, this paper proposed a pilot signal strength prediction algorithm to enable construction of databases for areas without databases, so as to improve the performance of the Pattern Matching algorithm. The database was constructed by predicting the pilot signals in the area without a database using the proposed algorithm, and the Pattern Matching algorithm analysed positioning performance.

실내 위치 인식 기술은 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy 등 여러 기술을 통해 시도되어 왔으며, 실내 위치 인식 시스템의 상용화가 급증하는 추세이다. 대표적인 실내 측위 시스템인 Wi-Fi 기반 실내 측위는 고출력으로 넓은 범위에 서비스를 제공해주지만, 각 AP 마다 파워 출력이 다르기 때문에 위치 인식 측면에서의 오차가 발생하고, Bluetooth Low Energy 기반 실내 측위는 10m Cell 내에서는 정확한 인식이 가능하지반, 10m 거리 밖 오차는 매우 크다. UWB(Ultra Wide Band)[1][2][3]는 저전력으로, 3.1~10.6GHz의 대역올 이용하여, Wi-Fi의 10배 이상의 속도로 데이터를 전달한다. 이때, 데이터 전달에 사용되는 전파신호는 레이더 신호와 유사한 특징을 가져 거리측정에 사용될 수 있으며, 실내 측위 시 15cm 이내의 정확도를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 UWB의 광대역을 이용한 핑거프린팅과 정밀 측위를 위한 TDoA 기법을 이용한 정밀 실내 측위 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Indoor location system has been used Wi-Fi to get a location. After the development of BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy), the interest in the method of a indoor positioning had been move on. It has more advantages than using Wi-Fi. Easy installation, low power consumption, low signal interference and changeable setting(Advertising interval, tx power, etc.). These things can improve efficiency or accuracy in a indoor positioning system. For this reason, recent indoor positioning system uses BLE rather than Wi-Fi. Accordingly, error factors of BLE beacon based indoor positioning should be studying for high accuracy of indoor positioning. In this research, set up few experiment scenarios and keep a close watch on how technological, environmental factor is affecting positioning accuracy. When a application uses largest signal strength to get the indoor location, the mean error of experimental results was decreased compare to using received signal strength in real-time. The result was same when the application applied average and standard deviation to get the indoor location. Changing advertising interval had an effect on the mean error of indoor positioning. Short advertising interval makes the lower mean error than large advertising interval.

A simple, accurate, secure, long-lasting, and portable hybrid positioning system is proposed and designed in this paper. It consists of a lighting LED that generates visible light data corresponding to position information of a target and a Zigbee wireless network communication module with low power, security, and service area expansion characteristics. Under an indoor environment where there is 23.62m distance between an observer and the target, the presented hybrid positioning system is tested and is verified with the functions of Zigbee three hop wireless networking and visible light communication (VLC) scheme. The test results are analyzed and discussed.

Recently location based services is being expanded into the indoor service that can not access to the outdoor location informations, such as GPS. Thus, the research and development of an indoor positioning system with BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) iBeacon technology has expanded. However, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) that is used as the distance information between the terminal and for positioning iBeacon signal has a problem in that distortion occurs, information such as the signal attenuation and the delay due to the characteristics of radio waves. In this paper, we propose a reliable method of verifying iBeacon signal with the signal distortion problems for reliable indoor positioning systems.

자기부상열차는 자기력에 의해 차량이 부상되어 전용선로를 따라 비접촉으로 운행되는 철도운송시스템이다. 자기부상열차에서는 열차가 운영 선로위에 부상되어 비접촉으로 운행되기 때문에 일반 철도시스템에서 적용되고 있는 측위기술의 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 자기부상열차에는 다양한 측위기술들이 개발되어 적용 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자기부상열차에 적용중인 다양한 측위기술 및 측위장치에 대하여 검토하고, 독자적인 초고속자기부상열차 개발시 필요한 열차위치검지기술의 개발방향을 제시한다.
