UWB (Ultra-Wide Band)- and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-based real-time positioning methods have been the subject of extensive research and perform well in their respective optimal environments. However, their optimal environments are largely mutually exclusive in practical applications; a cost-effective ubiquitous indoor/outdoor positioning system must utilize both systems to provide reliable positioning information in all environments. At the same time, there is no need to consider GNSS information in GNSS-denied areas (indoors) with UWB coverage. Therefore, a switch between the systems as the definitive positioning information source is needed. This paper outlines some approaches to transitioning between UWB and GNSS positioning of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).

摘要

UWB (Ultra-Wide Band)- and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-based real-time positioning methods have been the subject of extensive research and perform well in their respective optimal environments. However, their optimal environments are largely mutually exclusive in practical applications; a cost-effective ubiquitous indoor/outdoor positioning system must utilize both systems to provide reliable positioning information in all environments. At the same time, there is no need to consider GNSS information in GNSS-denied areas (indoors) with UWB coverage. Therefore, a switch between the systems as the definitive positioning information source is needed. This paper outlines some approaches to transitioning between UWB and GNSS positioning of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).
