In the development of intelligent vehicles, path tracking of unmanned vehicle is a basis of autonomous driving and automatic navigation. It is very important to find the exact position of a vehicle for the path tracking, and it is possible to get the position information from GPS. However the information of GPS is not the current position but the past position because a vehicle is moving and GPS has a time delay. In this paper, therefore, the moving distance of a vehicle is estimated using a direction sensor and a velocity sensor to compensate the position error of GPS. In the steering control, optimal fuzzy rules for the path tracking can be found through the simulation of Simulink. Real driving experiments show the fuzzy rules are good for the steering control and the position error of GPS is well compensated by the proposed estimation method.

저궤도위성의 정밀궤도결정은 GPS 위성과 수신기의 시계 공통오차를 제거하기 위해 이중 차분하는 방법으로 요구된 위치 정밀도를 충족시켜왔다. 그러나 빠른 속도로 지구를 회전하는 저궤도위성의 정밀궤도결정에 있어 이러한 이중 차분방법은 지구상에 광범위하게 분포된 지상 IGS 망 처리에 많은 계산 부담을 안고 있다. 그리고 지상 측지뿐만 아니라 저궤도위성을 이용한 기상관측 또는 긴급한 영상 처리 응용분야에서도 고정밀도 준실시간(Near Real Time-NRT) 처리가 요구되고 있다. 고정밀 준실시간 정밀궤도결정을 위한 대안은 이중주파수 GPS 수신기으로 IGS에서 제공되는 정밀궤도력을 갖고 고정밀 단독측위가 가능한 정밀단독측위(precise point positioning) 기법으로 상대측위와 버금가는 위치 정밀도를 얻을 수 있다. 다목적실용위성 5호는 고정밀 합성 레이더 영상 처리를 위해서 요구되는 20 cm 위성 위치 정밀도를 만족시키고, 대기 기상관측을 위해 GPS 전파 엄폐 측정값 수집을 목적으로 고정밀 이중주파수 GPS 수신기(Integrated GPS and Occultation Receiver, IGOR)를 탑재하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 IGOR의 이전 제품인 Blackjack 수신기를 탑재한 GRACE 위성의 실제 GPS 데이터를 사용하여 대략 3 ~ 5cm의 위치 정밀도를 얻었다. 준실시간 정밀궤도결정에서 정밀도 손실없이 궤도결정 처리 지연시간(latency)을 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 이 지연시간은 GPS 측정값의 양에 따라 크게 좌우되기에 GPS 측정값 샘플링 주기를 10초에서 640초까지 변화시켜가면서 정밀도를 분석한 결과, 위치 정밀도 손실없이도 궤도결정처리 지연시간을 단축시킬 수 있음을 제시하고 있다.

This paper presents the results of the field of an improved GPS navigation algorithm. The improved GPS navigation algorithm is a modified Kalman filter which is designed to be ideally suited to car navigation in urban area where lack of GPS visibility is the major problem because of the frequent blockage of the GPS signals by tall buildings and other structures. The method allows the user to estimate its position when the number of visible GPS satellites becomes less than four by using altitude fixing and clock bias estimation techniques. The two estimation techniques are integrated with the Kalman filter in a mutually compensating manner and it is shown that the 3-dimensional position accuracy is well maintained when the number of the visible satellites drops down to two for a reasonable period of time. The post processing results are included to show the improved performance of the modified algorithm over a normal conventional GPS Kalman filter.

In the present study, the 2013 survey Uiwang pointed out how the Resurvey of Cadastre ed projects reviewed relation to the business carried GPS-RTK (Network, Single) and total station surveying (T/S) to analyze and to compare the performance of Time Measurement Accuracy urban areas Resurvey of Cadastre was to present an effective survey methods in the business district. In this study, Uiwang review survey results indicated a comprehensive evaluation of the results, which are concentrated in urban areas, the building of intelligent review of GPS-RTK surveying methods is avoided by the measurement method to establish the first principles method based on total station surveying the GPS-RTK survey to draw conclusions appropriated to take advantage of the assistance and inspection methods.

The position fixing usually is determined by triangulation, traverse surveying and astronomy surveying. However, when the station is moving, it is impossible to determine its position continuously by the former method. By a satellite positioning method(GPS), this problem can be solved. In our study, we used two methods to determine the length and coordinate of a point position. One is a kinematic GPS method and the other is a static one. Each is based on carrier phase measurement and employs a relative position technique. We implemented observation experiments such as Geodimeter and DGPS(Differential GPS) successfully. To estimate the accuracy between the kinematic and static methods, we compared the results of Geodimeter, the kinematic, and the static. The results showed that the static is relatively a little more accurate than the kinematic. However, in the kinematic mode, when we received the GPS data for a long time, we found that the kinematic also had a high accuracy value for the length survey Finally, we applied the GPS to Jeju Harbor Breakwater to examine the applicability of GPS for coastal ocean structure based on the kinematics and the statics, respectively.

The longitude and latitude of the Kongju National University Observatory was determined by using TM-1A theodolite and GPS(model: 4000SSI, GPS 45). In the observation using theodolite TM-1A observed the meridian transit time(KST) and meridian altitude of the 2 stars, ${\alpha}$ Aur and ${\alpha}$ Boo. In the observation using GPS measured the longitude and latitude by receiving data of 6 GPS satellites. The longitude and latitude of the Kongju National University Observatory was determined to 127$^{\circ}$8'33'.16 and 36$^{\circ}$28'14'.20, respectively.

GPS(Global Positioning System) and GLONASS(GLObal Navigation Satellite System) are basic technologies providing the information of the position and the time, and they have various applications such as navigation, survey, control, and so on. However, each GPS and GLONASS has limited number of visible satellites, and, from the view of strategy, it is undesirable to be heavily dependent on only one system. Thus, GPS/GLONASS combined receiver became required to obtain more precise navigation and system stability. In this paper, the RF front end of GPS/GLONASS combined receiver was fabricated on 130$\times$80 $\textrm{mm}^2$ PCB(Printed Circuit Board), and its system application was shown finally one chip possibility of GLONASS receiver is studied.

The previous acquisition method of GPS receiver for reference station adopts not only the coherent integration method but also the non-coherent integration method in order to enhance sensitivity under noisy environment. However, under noisy environment, the previous GPS signal acquisition method causes the non-coherent integration loss which is a major factor among losses that can be caused during GPS signal acquisition. The non-coherent integration loss also increases with the strength of the received noise. This paper has intention of analyzing the performance of the GPS signal acquisition method proposed to effectively enhance sensitivity of DGPS reference receiver under noisy environment. This paper presents that the proposed GPS signal acquisition method suppresses the non-coherent integration loss through post-processing simulation. Furthermore, with regard to the mean acquisition time, it is shown that the number of search cells of the proposed GPS signal acquisition method is much fewer than that of the previous GPS signal acquisition method.

This paper studies a GPS error filtering method that takes into account the continuity of the ongoing path to enhance the safety of autonomous agricultural mobile robots. Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) is increasingly utilized for robot position evaluation in outdoor environments due to its significantly higher reliability compared to conventional GPS systems. However, in orchard environments, the robot's current position obtained from RTK-GPS information can become unstable due to unknown disturbances like orchard canopies. This problem can potentially lead to navigation errors and path deviations during the robot's movement. These issues can be resolved by filtering out GPS information that deviates from the continuity of the waypoints traversed, based on the robot's assessment of its current path. The contributions of this paper is as follows. 1) The method based on the previous waypoints of the traveled path to determine the current position and trajectory. 2) GPS filtering method based on deviations from the determined path. 3) Finally, verification of the navigation errors between the method applying the error filter and the method not applying the error filter.
