Disclosed herein is a system for rapidly resolving position with centimeter-level accuracy for a mobile or stationary receiver [4]. This is achieved by estimating a set of parameters that are related to the integer cycle ambiguities which arise in tracking the carrier phase of satellite downlinks [5,6]. In the preferred embodiment, the technique involves a navigation receiver [4] simultaneously tracking transmissions [6] from Low Earth Orbit Satellites (LEOS) [2] together with transmissions [5] from GPS navigation satellites [1]. The rapid change in the line-of-sight vectors from the receiver [4] to the LEO signal sources [2], due to the orbital motion of the LEOS, enables the resolution with integrity of the integer cycle ambiguities of the GPS signals [5] as well as parameters related to the integer cycle ambiguity on the LEOS signals [6]. These parameters, once identified, enable real-time centimeter-level positioning of the receiver [4]. In order to achieve high-precision position estimates without the use of specialized electronics such as atomic clocks, the technique accounts for instabilities in the crystal oscillators driving the satellite transmitters, as well as those in the reference [3] and user [4] receivers. In addition, the algorithm accommodates as well as to LEOS that receive signals from ground-based transmitters, then re-transmit frequency-converted signals to the ground.

Methods and associated systems for autonomous package delivery utilize a UAS/UAV, an infrared positioning senor, and a docking station integrated with a package delivery vehicle.

In a GPS navigation apparatus, a procedure of preparation of route for navigation using a specific point (WAY-POINT or MARK-POINT) established and registered by the tracking function is simplified. A TRACK list picture is read out from a MENU picture by the predetermined operation, and a desired TRACK name is designated from the list. When a type the specific point is selected by the predetermined operation to designate conversion from the TRACK to a ROUTE, position data of the START POINT, the specific point of the selected type, and the DESTINATION POINT, of the designated TRACK name are extracted, and interpolation data connecting the positions by straight line in the time series sequence is produced to construct a ROUTE for navigation. Conventionally, the selection has been made by each POINT unit, however, an automatic conversion in a batch in a TRACK unit is employed, and thus a route creating operation is extremely simplified.

A method and apparatus of vehicle positioning uses map matching as feedback for an integrated navigation system where a map and navigation system is coupled with an inertial navigation system (INS) using low-precision vehicle sensors when the vehicle passes through a tunnel or other area suffering from GPS signal loss. The method and apparatus operates to detect whether the vehicle has reached an entry point of a tunnel, and if so, immediately starts a map matching operation to match the current vehicle position with a road link of the tunnel. The current position determined by the map matching operation is feedbacked to an integration Kalman filter thereby correcting errors caused by the vehicle sensors. The method and apparatus resumes the normal navigation operation including GPS navigation as soon as it detects that the vehicle is out of the tunnel.
