This paper investigates the synergies between a GNSS Avionics Based Integrity Augmentation (ABIA) system and a novel Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Sense-and-Avoid (SAA) architecture for cooperative and non-cooperative scenarios. The integration of ABI... Read More about Avionics-based GNSS integrity augmentation for unmanned aerial systems sense-and-avoid.

Spatial uncertainty management in pedestrian navigation (2014)
Book Chapter
Basiri, A., Amirian, P., Winstanley, A., Moore, T., & Hill, C. (2014). Spatial uncertainty management in pedestrian navigation. In C. Liu (Ed.), Principle and application progress in location-based services (343-355). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-04028-8_23

Location-based services use location as contextual data to exclude irrelevant services from users. However almost all positioning technologies can only provide a location with a certain degree of accuracy. It is necessary to have a framework which ca...

On magnetometer heading updates for inertial pedestrian navigation system (2014)
Journal Article
Abdulrahim, K., Seman, K., Othman, M., Md Shuib, F. M., Moore, T., Hide, C., & Hill, C. (2014). On magnetometer heading updates for inertial pedestrian navigation system. Giroskopiya I Navigatsiya / Gyroscopy and Navigation, 5(3), https://doi.org/10.1134/S207510871403002X

A magnetometer is often used to aid heading estimation of a low-cost Inertial Pedestrian Navigation System (IPNS) without which the latter will not be able to accurately estimate heading for more than a few seconds, even with the help of Zero Velocit...

Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Hill, C., Giangrande, P., Gerada, C., & Bozhko, S. (in press). Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica.

This paper presents a newly developed Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica. The library utilises a multi-level approach with increasing model complexity at progressively higher levels. All levels are fully interchangeable so as to provide a... Read More about Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica.

Understanding the performance of zero velocity updates in MEMS-based pedestrian navigation (2014)
Journal Article
Abdulrahim, K., Moore, T., Hide, C., & Hill, C. (2014). Understanding the performance of zero velocity updates in MEMS-based pedestrian navigation

Zero Velocity Update (ZUPT) is an important update to aid an autonomous inertial pedestrian navigation.
