URBAN CANYON VEHICLE NAVIGATION WITH INTEGRATED GPS/GLONASS/DR SYSTEMS

In this paper, the authors describe the first integrated Global Positioning System (GPS)/Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS)/dead reckoning (DR) vehicle navigation system which was developed in Australia. Focus of the discussion is on the capabilities of the system to operate in urban canyons, i.e., cities with a heavy volume of tall buildings and the resulting interference in delivering continuous positioning information. Results from using the system in Perth, Western Australia, are discussed and show an improvement in positioning capabilities over existing systems.
