Beschäftigt sich umfassend mit den jüngsten Entwicklungen in der PNT-Technologie wie integrierte Satellitennavigation, Sensorsysteme und zivile Anwendungen.
Die 64 Kapitel dieser zweibändigen Publikation sind in sechs Abschnitte unterteilt und decken detailliert den aktuellen Stand der Technik bei der satellitengestützten Bestimmung von Positions-, Navigations- und Zeitdaten (PNT) und die Nutzung dieser Technologien in zivilen Anwendungen ab. Untersucht werden auch alternative Navigationstechniken auf der Basis anderer Signals-of-Opportunity und Sensoren. Auch werden integrierte PNT-Systeme für Consumer-Anwendungen und kommerzielle Anwendungen ausführlich behandelt.
Covers the latest developments in PNT technologies, including integrated satellite navigation, sensor systems, and civil applications
Featuring sixty-four chapters that are divided into six parts, this two-volume work provides comprehensive coverage of the state-of-the-art in satellite-based position, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies and civilian applications. It also examines alternative navigation technologies based on other signals-of-opportunity and sensors and offers a comprehensive treatment on integrated PNT systems for consumer and commercial applications.
Volume 1 of Position, Navigation, and Timing Technologies in the 21st Century: Integrated Satellite Navigation, Sensor Systems, and Civil Applications contains three parts and focuses on the satellite navigation systems, technologies, and engineering and scientific applications. It starts with a historical perspective of GPS development and other related PNT development. Current global and regional navigation satellite systems (GNSS and RNSS), their inter-operability, signal quality monitoring, satellite orbit and time synchronization, and ground- and satellite-based augmentation systems are examined. Recent progresses in satellite navigation receiver technologies and challenges for operations in multipath-rich urban environment, in handling spoofing and interference, and in ensuring PNT integrity are addressed. A section on satellite navigation for engineering and scientific applications finishes off the volume. The second volume consists of three parts and addresses PNT using alternative signals and sensors and integrated PNT technologies for consumer and commercial applications. It looks at PNT using various radio signals-of-opportunity, atomic clock, optical, laser, magnetic field, celestial, MEMS and inertial sensors, as well as the concept of navigation from Low-Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites. GNSS-INS integration, neuroscience of navigation, and animal navigation are also covered. The volume finishes off with a collection of work on contemporary PNT applications such as survey and mobile mapping, precision agriculture, wearable systems, automated driving, train control, commercial unmanned aircraft systems, aviation, and navigation in the unique Arctic environment. In addition, this text:
- Serves as a complete reference and handbook for professionals and students interested in the broad range of PNT subjects
- Includes chapters that focus on the latest developments in GNSS and other navigation sensors, techniques, and applications
- Illustrates interconnecting relationships between various types of technologies in order to assure more protected, tough, and accurate PNT
Position, Navigation, and Timing Technologies in the 21st Century will appeal to all industry professionals, researchers, and academics involved with the science, engineering, and applications of position, navigation, and timing technologies.
"A new tome -- make that two new tomes -- join the bookshelf of essential and authoritative references for GNSS users, while widening the umbrella a good deal to cover all PNT technologies, their sensors and their integrations. Edited by four leading lights of the community and assistant-edited by two more, its list of authors rounds up another 131 of the 'usual suspects,' the names that are seen repeatedly in the presentations at technical conference and on their organizing boards. In every one of 64 subject matters, the author(s) is/are recognized experts, in many cases the recognized expert, on the material."
