Researchers developed a new satellite navigation approach for autonomous vehicles in complex urban environments

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are vital for positioning autonomous vehicles, buses, drones, and outdoor robots. Yet its accuracy often degrades in dense urban...

Making regular GPS ultra-precise

The GPS system we use today can be slowed by the "urban canyons" created by tall skyscrapers in big cities. A new approach can...

Unjammable Sat-Navs and the Quantum Sensor Revolution

The modern world depends heavily on GPS satellites to navigate, but too often, access to them is lost or even jammed. This creates a...

Improving traffic signal timing with a handful of connected vehicles

Communities could reduce costs and cut vehicle emissions - all in the name of shortening your trip University of Michigan With GPS data from as little...

A navigation system with 10 centimeter accuracy

Researchers of Delft University of Technology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and VSL have developed an alternative positioning system that is more robust and accurate than...

High-tech sensors could guide vehicles without satellites

Words like “tough” or “rugged” are rarely associated with a quantum inertial sensor. The remarkable scientific instrument can measure motion a thousand times more...

Critical Vulnerabilities Discovered in Widely Used Vehicle GPS Tracker

BitSight announced the discovery of six severe vulnerabilities in the MiCODUS MV720 GPS Tracker, a popular vehicle GPS tracker made in China and used...

SpaceX satellite signals used like GPS to pinpoint location on Earth

Engineering researchers have developed a method to use signals broadcast by Starlink internet service satellites to accurately locate a position here on Earth, much...

Bird’s-eye view could be key to navigating without GPS

By U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- A bird’s-eye view may take on new meaning thanks to Army-funded research. Scientists found...

New algorithm helps autonomous vehicles find themselves, summer or winter

Deep learning makes visual terrain-relative navigation more practical California Institute of Technology Without GPS, autonomous systems get lost easily. Now a new algorithm developed at Caltech...
