The effects of narrowband radio frequency interference and signal attenuation, both common in the urban environment, are examined with respect to receiver signal tracking processes. Low-cost MEMS inertial sensors, suitable for the consumer market, are the focus of receiver augmentation as they provide an independent measure of motion and are independent of vehicle systems. A method for estimating the mounting angles of an inertial sensor cluster utilizing typical urban driving maneuvers is developed and is able to provide angular measurements within two degrees of truth. The integration of GPS and MEMS inertial sensors is developed utilizing a full state navigation filter. Appropriate statistical methods are developed to evaluate the urban environment positioning improvement due to the addition of MEMS inertial sensors. Record and playback systems are evaluated as the optimal way of testing multiple navigation systems in the urban environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Vinande\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 363931445X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639314458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Eric Vinande","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424586088703,"sku":"9783639314458","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5beee11e-fff7-4f87-8108-996d0debcb60.jpg?v=1761531216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/overcoming-urban-gps-navigation-challenges-eric-vinande-9783639314458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
