Abstract: A positioning device for determining the location of a vehicle stationary or moving on roads of a given network from positioning signals broadcasted by satellites of at least one constellation of satellites, comprising: a first unit determining a plurality of possible current positions and a plurality of time stamps, configured to: generate local replicas of positioning signals; receive, positioning signals broadcasted by one or more satellites in view; process, for each possible current position and time stamp, a correlation function between a received positioning signal and a local replica; a second unit: determining a common error to all the satellites, correcting the correlation results using the common error, determining, for each possible current position of the vehicle, multi-satellite likelihoods; determining a position and time stamp by comparing the multi-satellite likelihoods.

Abstract: A method and system for determining center coordinates of a circular arc uses a position sensor, such as a GPS receiver, for receiving position coordinates for a plurality of points along the circular arc. The position coordinates for the plurality of points are then processed using an algorithm developed based on the geometric relationship for a cone inscribed in a sphere, with the sphere representing the Earth, the position coordinates defining points along a base perimeter of the cone, and an apex of the cone being located at the center of the Earth. A regression model is used to determine the center coordinates of the circular arc in a three-dimensional coordinate system without converting the position coordinates into two-dimensional coordinates. The method and system can be used to determine center coordinates for a center pivot sprinkler monitoring system or a vehicle guidance system.

Abstract: A method of inferring the GPS location of a device with a GPS receiver is disclosed. The method includes using signals from two GPS satellites to determine two candidate GPS locations. Geographic information can be used to estimate the probability that the device is at each location. If one of the two candidate GPS locations has a substantially higher probability of being the correct location, that location may be selected as the inferred GPS location. The method may also include making use of additional sensed data that could be provided using sensors onboard the device.

Abstract: The embodiments of the invention provide a method for locating, in a railroad frame of reference, a mobile vehicle traveling on railroad tracks of a railroad network. The method determines one or more railroad track segments on which the mobile vehicle is likely to be located by querying a cartographic database based on at least one location parameter. The cartographic database comprises data representing a vectorial description of at least one railroad track of the railroad network and data representing a description of one or more objects of the environment adjacent to the railroad tracks of the railroad network likely to interfere with the navigation signals received by the mobile vehicle. The method includes a step of generating the cartographic database comprising the steps of: receiving a measurement point cloud classified and geolocated in a coordinate system, the measurement point cloud being associated with the railroad network and with the adjacent environment, determining the topology of the railroad network based on geolocated and classified measurement points associated with the railroad network and a plurality of additional elements of the railroad network, modeling the geometry of the railroad tracks of the railroad network as a plurality of modeled railroad track segments, determining, from geolocated and classified measurement points associated with the adjacent environment, one or more adjacent objects, each of the adjacent objects being associated with one or more modeled railroad track segments, identifying, for each association between an adjacent object and one or more modeled railroad track segments, information representing the interference affecting the navigation signals.

Abstract: A global positioning system (GPS) receiver and system for determining a geographical location associated with the GPS receiver using less than four GPS signals. The system can comprise a constraint module configured to receive one or more constraints that describe at least one characteristic of a GPS receiver when a number of GPS satellites within a line of sight to the GPS receiver is below a defined value. The system can further comprise a pseudo range calculation module configured to calculate a plurality of pseudo ranges between the GPS receiver and the number GPS satellites, wherein the plurality of pseudo ranges are to various orbital positions of the GPS satellites over a period of time; and a geographical location module configured to determine the geographical location of the GPS receiver using the plurality of pseudo ranges and known constraints of motion associated with the GPS receiver.

Abstract: A method for determining the point location of a vehicle stopped on one storage track among a set of storage tracks, using virtual beacons is provided. It determines and compares the likelihood of a plurality of hypotheses as to the stopped location of the vehicle, corresponding to a first set of NBe predefined virtual beacons Be(i), i varying from 1 to NBe, the respective positions of which are known in an amount of one virtual beacon per storage track, by correlating the GNSS geo-positioning signals received at various synchronization reset times of a second set by the GNSS receiver located on board the vehicle with predicted GNSS geo-positioning signals of replicas expected for the various positions of the virtual beacons of the first set at the various times. The detected holding position of the vehicle is the position that corresponds to the maximum likelihood.
