GNSS for Highly Reliable Applications

Abstract

GNSS is becoming a global social infrastructure. In addition, as the world accelerates toward autonomous moving platforms, GNSS, which is the key to position estimation, is required to be more reliable and secure. In the past few years, cm-class high-precision positioning has begun to become commonplace, and the trend toward higher reliability and safety is steadily accelerating. Against this background, our team has focused on the development of reliable RTK-GNSS, prediction of RTK-GNSS, detection method of interference/spoofing, and integration of GNSS/IMU/Odometer. As for this integration, integrity monitoring for moving platform is also a key issue. In addition, low earth orbit satellites will be discussed in terms of how they can augment GNSS. In this talk, I will discuss several topics mentioned above.
