The adaptive filter is proposed for the INS/GPS. The proposed filter can estimate the variance of the process noise using the residual of the filter. To verify the efficiency of the adaptive filter, it is applied to the loosely-coupled INS/CPS that employs the additive quaternion error model. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed filter is more effective in estimating the attitude error than EKF.

We propose the monitoring system scheme for the CPS/INS integrated navigation system. The design requirements of the monitoring system are suggested and the software scheme based on GUI is proposed. The proposed monitoring system consists of an I/O interface part, a navigation data display part, and a post-processing part. The I/O interface part is responsible for data communication between the monitoring system and a navigation computer unit. The navigation data display part provides various display methods to show the navigation data to user in real-time. The post-processing part collects the navigation data to analyze the performance of navigation system. The proposed monitoring system software was developed using the Visual C++ programming language and a van test was carried out to demonstrate the real-time operation of the monitoring system. The test result shows that the proposed monitoring system can be effectively applied to the CPS/INS integrated navigation system.

The CPS provides data with long-term stability independent of passed time and the INS provides high-rate data with short-term stability. By integrating these complementary systems, a highly accurate navigation system can be achieved. In this paper, a loosely-coupled GPS/INS integration system is designed. It is a simple structure and is easy to implement and preserves independent navigation capability of GPS and INS. The integration system consists of a NCU, an IMU, a GPS receiver, and a monitoring system. The navigation algorithm in the NCU is designed under the multi-tasking environment based on a real-time kernel system and the monitoring system is designed using the Visual C++. The integrated Kalman filter is designed as a feedback formed 15-state filter, in which the states are position errors, velocity errors, attitude errors and sensor bias errors. The van test result shows that the integrated system provides more accurate navigation solution then the inertial or the GPS-alone navigation system.

This paper presents a fault detection and isolation(FDI) method based on Generalized Likelihood Ratio(GLR) test for the tightly coupled SDINS/CPS system. The GLR test is known to have the capability of detecting an assumed change while estimating its occurrence time and magnitude, and isolating the changing part. Once a fault is detected even if we don't know if the fault occurrs at either INS or GPS, multi-hypothesized GLR scheme performs the fault isolation between INS and GPS, and find which satellite malfunctions. However, in the INS faulty case, it turned out to fail to accomodate the fault isolation between accelerometer and gyroscope due to the coupling effects and a poor observability of the system. Hence, to isolate the INS fault, it needs to change the attitude of the vehicle resulting in enhancing the degree of observability.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft controlled by .emote commands from ground station and/o. pre-programmed onboard autopilot system. A navigation system in the UAV provides a navigation data for a flight control computer(FCC). The FCC requires accurate and reliable position, velocity and attitude information for guidance and control. This paper proposes an ADGPS/INS integrated navigation system for a UAV. The proposed navigation system comprises an attitude determination GPS (ADGPS) receive., a navigation computer unit, and a low-cost commercial MEMS inertial measurement unit(IMU). The navigation algorithm contains a fault detection and isolation (FDI) function fur integrity. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed navigation system, two flight tests were preformed using a small aircraft. The first flight test was carried out to confirm fundamental operation of the proposed navigation system and to check the effectiveness of the FDI algorithm. In the second flight test, the navigation performance and the benefit of the GPS attitude information were checked in a high dynamic environment. The flight test results show that the proposed ADGPS/INS integrated navigation system gives a reliable performance even when anomalous GPS data is provided and better navigation performance than a conventional GPS/INS integration unit.

The purpose of this study is to propose a new method using the GPS-INS integrated system which measures the superelevation of a curved yoad rapidly and safely Also, using the CPS-INS integrated system. this Paper is to analyze the expected accuracy of the superelevation on the roads which are already opened for traffic. The superelevation of the roads which are already opened for traffic often changes by roads rehabilitation work such as resurfacing of Pavement and rutting However, it is difficult to measure 1,he changes of road geometry because or the high cost and the safety problem. If the measurement of superelevation using GPS-INS integrated system is used instead of existing conventional surveying method, the superelevation of road is expected to be measured accurately(under 0.4% RMSE) just by driving without interfering the traffic Therefore, the application of the GPS-INS integrated system is expected to be useful tool for measuring the superelevation of the roads.

The Mobile Mapping System collects geographic information through mounted sensors such as a pair of CCD camera, CPS, IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit) and Odometer at regular distance or time interval. The advantage of such system is to easy identification of positions and geographic informations of mobile objects in real time. Among many wireless communication ways for real-time positions and geographic information data from the mobile mapping system to the user such as PDA, wireless modem, cellophane, and web, the web is considered to be more stabile, effect and economic than any other methods. In this paper, a study on the web-based real-time mobile mapping platform to identify the user position is presented using the real-time NovAtel BDS.

This research introduces the method to measure cross-slope using Road Safety Survey and Analysis Vehicle(RoSSAV) with multiple sensors. Cross-slope is an important element like horizontal alignment and vertical alignment in evaluating safety of the roads. In many cases, cross-slope is different from drawings due to frequent overlays. It is extremely difficult to measure cross slope at the roads which has huge traffic volume. Therefore, the algorithm, which can be used when driving the RoSSAV with CPS/INS and Laser Scanner sensors was developed for measuring the cross-slop. Also, in order to examine the algorithm, the superelevation was measured by Laser Scanner and GPS/INS system during travelling and the result was verified by statistical verification.

The system error model for the compensation of the low-cost personal navigation system is derived and the error compensation method using GPS is also proposed. The walking navigation system (WNS) that calculates navigation information through walking detection has small error than INS, but the error also increases with time. In order to improve reliability of the system regardless of time, WNS is integrated with GPS. Since WNS is usually used in urban area, the blockage of CPS signal is frequently occurred. Therefore tightly coupled Kalman filter is used for the integration of WNS and GPS. In this paper, the system model for the design of tightly coupled Kかm filter is designed and measurement is linearized in consideration of moving distance error. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulation that the error is bounded even through the number of visible satellite is less than 4.
