With conventional positioning apparatus, it is very difficult to simultaneously achieve the desired driving range and precision at the sub-micrometer level. Generally, lead screw and friction drive, etc., have been used as servo control systems. These have large driving ranges, and high-speed positioning is feasible. In this study, we present a global servo system controlled by a laser interferometer acting as a displacement measurement sensor for achieving positioning accuracy at the sub-micrometer level.

In this study, we compared the precipitable water vapor (PWV) data derived from the radiosonde observation data at Sokcho Observatory and the PWV data at Sokcho Global Positioning System (GPS) Observatory provided by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, for the years of 2006, 2008, 2010, and analyzed the radiosonde seasonal, diurnal bias according to radiosonde sensor types. In the scatter diagram of the daytime and nighttime radiosonde PWV data and the GPS PWV data, dry bias was found in the daytime radiosonde observation as known in the previous study. Overall, the tendency that the wet bias of the radiosonde PWV increased as the GPS PWV decreased and the dry bias of the radiosonde PWV increased as the GPS PWV increased. The quantitative analysis of the bias and error of the radiosonde PWV data showed that the mean bias decreased in the nighttime except for 2006 winter, and in comparison for summer, RS92-SGP sensor showed the highest quality.

This paper investigates optimization-based base station (BS) placement. An optimization model is defined and the BS placement problem is transformed to a lexicographical stratified programming (LSP) model for a given trajectory, according to different accuracy requirements. The feasible region for BS deployment is obtained from the positioning system requirement, which is also solved with signal coverage problem in BS placement. The LSP mathematical model is formulated with the average geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) as the criterion. To achieve an optimization solution, a tolerant factor based complete stratified series approach and grid searching method are utilized to obtain the possible optimal BS placement. Because of the LSP model utilization, the proposed algorithm has wider application scenarios with different accuracy requirements over different trajectory segments. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has better BS placement result than existing approaches for a given trajectory.

This paper presents a method to reduce the vibration-induced noise effect of an inertial measurement device mounted on a self-driving vehicle. The inertial sensor used in the GNSS/INS integrated navigation system of a self-driving vehicle is fixed directly on the chassis of vehicle body so that its navigation output is affected by the vibration of the vehicle's engine, resulting in the degradation of the navigational performance. Therefore, these effects must be considered when mounting the inertial sensor. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes to use an in-house manufactured vibration suppression device and analyzes its impact on reducing the vibration effect. Experimental test results in a static scenario show that the vibration-induced noise effect is more clearly observed in the lateral direction of the vehicle, but can be effectively suppressed by using the proposed vibration suppression device compared to the case without it. In addition, the dynamic positioning test scenario shows the position, speed, and posture errors are reduced to 74%, 67%, and 14% levels, respectively.

자율주행차는 교통사고로 인한 인명피해나, 운전으로 인해 발생하는 시간 및 비용을 줄일 수 있는 장점 때문에 개발 및 운용이 확대되고 있다. 이러한 자율주행차의 운행을 위해서는 정밀한 측위가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 고가의 센서를 사용하지 않고 차량 내장센서, 위성센서, 영상센서와 사전에 구축해둔 기준영상 정보를 통합하여 차량의 위치를 정밀하게 추정하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 기준영상 정보는 센서 정보만 사용하였을 경우 발생하는 측위 정밀도 한계를 극복할 수 있으며, 위성신호 단절과 같은 문제 발생시에도 안정적으로 취득이 가능한 장점이 있다. 센서 및 기준영상 정보를 결합하기 위한 필터는 개별 센서의 다양한 확률 밀도 분포를 반영할 수 있는 파티클 필터를 사용하였다. 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위해 데이터 취득 시스템을 구축하고 이를 이용한 주행 데이터 및 기준영상 정보를 취득하였다. 위성센서에 의한 오차가 비교적 큰 주행 경로에 대해서도 주행영상 및 기준영상 정보를 함께 결합할 경우 약 0.7 m 이내의 정확도로 차량 측위가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The atmospheric infrared sounder (AIRS) sensor loaded on the Aqua satellite observes the global vertical structure of atmosphere and enables verification of the water vapor distribution over the entire area of South Korea. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of the accuracy of the total precipitable water (TPW) provided as the AIRS level 2 standard retrieval product by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) over the South Korean area using the global positioning system (GPS) TPW data. The analysis TPW for the period of one year in 2008 showed that the accuracy of the data produced by the combination of the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit sensor with the AIRS sensor to correct the effect of clouds (AIRS-X) was higher than that of the AIRS IR-only data (AIRS-I). The annual means of the root mean square error with reference to the GPS data were 5.2 kg/$m^2$ and 4.3 kg/$m^2$ for AIRS-I and AIRS-X, respectively. The accuracy of AIRS-X was higher in summer than in winter while measurement values of AIRS-I and AIRS-X were lower than those of GPS TPW to some extent.

본 논문에서는, 가변의 감지 반경을 갖는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 감지범위가 중첩되는 영역을 최소화하기 위한 노드의 위치를 결정하는 방법에 관하여 기술하였다. 최적의 노드위치를 구하기 위하여, 이웃하는 노드들과의 감지영역이 중첩되는 면적과 각 노드의 감지 반경 및 이웃하는 노드와의 전개 각도를 이용하여 최적화 식을 유도하였다. 이를 기반으로 한 새로운 가변감지영역제어 (ASRC: Adjustable Sensing Ranges Control)에 의한 노드 위치방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 조건에 의한 방법과는 달리 수학적 식에 근거하여 유도된 모델로서, 다양한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 타당성을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a small loading and positioning device using VCM (voice coil motor). The developed device consists of a VCM-based linear actuating system, a capacitance displacement sensor and a cantilever deflection sensing system. The trust force of the VCM proportional to applied current moves the column supported on two pairs of parallel leaf springs. The infinitesimal displacement of moved column is detected by capacitance displacement sensor with a resolution of 0.1nm and a repeatability of 1nm. Also, a micro cantilever with known stiffness (200N/m), which is mounted on the end of the column, is used as a force sensor to detect the load applied to a specimen. After the cantilever contacts with the specimen, the deflection of cantilever and the load applied to the specimen are measured by using an optical lever system which consists of a diode laser, a mirror and a PSD (position sensitive detector). In this paper, an experimental system was constructed and its actuator and sensing parts were tested and calibrated. Also, the constructed system was applied to the indentation experiment and the load-displacement curve of aluminum was obtained. Experimental results showed that the developed device can be applied for performing nano indentation.
