Location Based Services using GPS receiver with network enabled smart phone provides various services and many business models. Currently, many context awareness models on smart phone applications are under developing. But most of the services are based on current user position and Point of Interest(POI)s, which are very static. In this paper, we proposed and implemented multimedia tourist guide system using smart phone, which are very dynamic and provides tour guide's voice and audio service on the spot. Also we provides tour experience sharing method which can easily share the videos and pictures for each users.

The GPS technique widely used recently in car navigation system has two problems that are unavailability in urban canyons and inherent positional error rate. The one has been studied and solved in many literatures. However, the other still leads to incorrect locational information in some area, especially parallel roads. This paper proposes and implements a system to recognize lane of moving vehicle based on images obtained from in-vehicle networks or other devices. The proposed system utilizes a real-time image matching algorithm which determines the direction of moving vehicle in parallel section of road. It also employs a method for accuracy improvement. The results obtained from experimental test on real-time navigation show that the proposed systems works well and the accuracy increases.

For inertial navigation systems, initial information such as position, velocity and attitude is required for navigation. Self-alignment is the process to determine initial attitude on stationary condition using inertial measurements such as accelerations and angular rates. The accuracy of self-alignment is determined by inertial sensor error. As soon as an inertial navigation system is powered on, the temperature of accelerometer rises rapidly until temperature stabilization. It causes acceleration error which is called temperature stabilizing error of accelerometer. Therefore, temperature stabilizing error degrades the alignment accuracy and also increases alignment time. This paper suggests a method to calculate azimuthal attitude using curve fitting of horizontal control angular rate in fixed-gain self-alignment. It is verified by simulation and experiment that the accuracy is improved and the alignment time is reduced using the proposed method under existence of the temperature stabilizing error.

무인항공기를 이용한 실시간 공중 모니터링은 재난 재해, 테러 등의 위기상황을 사전에 대비하고, 사고 발생 시 피해상황을 신속하게 파악할 수 있는 효율적인 관리 시스템이다. 실시간 공중 모니터링을 위해 무인항공부문에서는 고성능의 카메라, 관성항법장치, 레이저 스캐너, GPS 수신기 등의 다중 센서들을 장착하고, 제어하며 각 센서들로부터 입력받은 데이터 처리 및 지상국으로 데이터 전송이 실시간으로 가능해야 한다. 기존 무인 모니터링 시스템들은 카메라와 같이 단일 센서의 운용을 목적으로 설계되었으나, 본 연구에서는 레이져 스캐너, 적외선카메라를 포함하는 다중센서를 위한 컴퓨터를 설계하였다. 최근 다중센서를 장착한 관측시스템에 관한 연구가 미국 및 유럽에서 수행되고 있으나, 아직 개발이 완료되지 않은 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 고성능 다중 센서 데이터 처리를 위해 실시간 소프트웨어, 고속 대용량 데이터처리 기술, 고속 압축 기술, 이기종 다중 센서들 간의 시각 동기화 기능을 제공하는 탑재컴퓨터의 설계결과를 소개하였다.

A flight simulator is composed of engine, navigation systems and instrument modules. However, two problems exist here. First, the coordinate of each independent module is not same. To solve this problem, we design a method that mutual coordinates are capable of transformation each other. Second, the distance and bearing between two points on the earth are computed in a sphere shape using the spherical trigonometry. However, the computing time is very severe. In this paper, we project the sphere into the planar to reduce the computing time. An experimental result shows that the performance of the proposed method is excellent to both distance and bearing calculations in close region. Also, the computing time is reduced from $4.95{\times}10^{-4}$ seconds to $1.648{\times}10^{-4}$ seconds.

GPS 수신기에서 항법을 수행하기 위해서 신호탐색, 신호추적, 데이터 동기, 데이터 복조, 측정치 생성 및 위치 계산의 과정을 거쳐야 한다. TTFF(Time To First Fix)는 이러한 시간의 합으로 수신기의 성능을 나타내는 중요 평가지수 중의 하나이다. 일반적인 수신기의 TTFF는 80~90초인 것으로 알려져 있으며, 고속으로 운동하는 항체의 경우, 빠른 TTFF를 필요로 하므로 가장 긴 시간이 소비하는 신호탐색 과정의 시간을 줄여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 고속으로 운동하는 항체에서 GPS 신호의 코드 탐색 시간을 줄이기 위하여 다중 상관기 구조를 가지는 수신기를 설계 하고자한다. 설계한 수신기는 수신된 신호의 코드위상을 여러 개의 상관기에서 동시에 탐색하도록 다중 상관기를 구성하여 코드위상 검색에 소요되는 시간을 단축시킨다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 GPS 모의 신호 발생기를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. GPS 신호는 IF 데이터 수집 장치로부터 수집된 신호를 이용하며, 실험 수행 결과 다중 상관기를 이용하였을 때 TTFF가 단축되는 것을 확인하였다.

We introduce a MEMS-based pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) system. A walking navigation algorithm for pedestrians is presented and map-matching algorithm for the navigation system based on dead reckoning (DR) is proposed. The PDR is equipped on the human body and provides the position information of pedestrians. And this is able to be used in ubiquitous sensor network (USN), U-hearth monitoring system, virtual reality (VR) and etc. The PDR detects a step using a novel technique and simultaneously estimates step length. Also an azimuth of the pedestrian is calculated using a fluxgate which is the one of magnetometers. Map-matching algorithm can be formulated to integrate the positioning data with the digital road network data. Map-matching algorithm not only enables the physical location to be identified from navigation system but also improves the positioning accuracy. However most of map-matching algorithms which are developed previously are for the car navigation system (CNS). Therefore they are not appropriate to implement to pedestrian navigation system based on DR system. In this paper, we propose walking navigation system and map-matching algorithm for PDR.

Now days, It is based on GIS and GPS, it can search for the shortest path and estimation of arrival time by using the internet and cell phone to driver. But, even though good car navigation system does not create which is the shortest path when there average vehicle speed is 10 -20 Km. Therefore In order to reduce vehicle waiting time and average vehicle speed, we suggest optimal green time algorithm using fuzzy adaptive control, where there are different traffic intersection length and lane. In this paper, it will be able to forecast the optimal traffic information, estimation of destination arrival time, under construction road, and dangerous road using internet.

Navigation system is regarded as the interface border line between the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the driver as the prospective information provider of the ATIS (Advanced Traveler Information System). Following theory, if the navigation system appropriately designed and utilized, that can maximize the transport efficiency, contribute to improvements of the environments and road safety. To accomplish these dinds of objectives of the navigation system use, human factors plays an important roles specially focused on the driver's safety, performance and system usability. Because the effectiveness of the system depends on the acceptance of the system, and the extent to which the system conforms to driver physical and cognitive limitations and capabilities. Therefore, the ergonomic design vaniables must be seriously selected and reflected in early design step for more effective and appreciate product design. As the first step of this aim, this study selected and categorized the human factors design variables of the navigation system.
