Navigation group of INT : objectives. • Developement of new concepts in navigation • Small scale validation approaches • Modelisation • Simulations • Experiments • Simplicity of implementation
Indoor Navigation : Introduction. MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS Badges Ultrasound RF GSM/UMTS Bluetooth … OUR APPROACH GPS Universal Positioning System
Indoor Navigation with GPS : the real difficulty. Weakness of signals
Indoor Navigation with GPS : current efforts. • Receiver Sensitivity Improvement • (TRIMBLE, THALES Navigation, etc.) • « Terrestrial Constellation » approaches (pseudolites) • (Northrop Grumman, DLB Ltd, • Seoul National University , etc.)
Indoor Navigation with GPS : Nav Group approach. • Transmission from outdoor to indoor environment with « GPS repeaters » • Navigation equation resolution and raw data exploitation • Definition of indoor navigation system architectures
