Develoment of a navigation system for an autonomous guided vehicle using android technologySnyman, Christo Johannes Unknown Date (has links)
Modern cell phone hardware, due to its integrated peripherals, provides a low cost intelligent controller for use in the navigation of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). Most commercial AGV’s use proprietary hardware which is expensive to replace and also difficult to maintain. Using industrial hardware components combined with Android mobile platforms could provide a low-cost alternative. This would be easier to maintain, using existing in-house factory maintenance knowledge. A prototype AGV was designed and developed based on an integrated system between an industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and an Android operating system mobile platform. This system utilises the mobile platforms integrated Global Position System (GPS) or video camera as tools for navigation. Experimental tests were performed to determine whether the prototype can navigate a predefined course by making use of GPS and camera line following algorithms. The accuracy of the line following algorithm was influenced by the speed at which the research AGV moved. Mounting the Android camera higher above the ground improved the vision and therefore accuracy of the algorithm. The GPS algorithm successfully navigated to various waypoints. The accuracy of the implemented GPS unit on the Android device is its limitation. The research unit was only capable of reaching a waypoint consistently within a three-metre radius.

Application of systems engineering methods to the design of an aviation navigation systemAnkrum, Aaron G. 30 March 2010 (has links)
<p>The need for an aviation navigation system is established from examining the
phase out of current systems and the delay in the development of replacement systems.
The systems engineering approach has been applied to ensure that a capable system is
developed. After establishing the need, two GPS based methods of creating an aviation
navigation system are examined. A system based on the differential GPS method is
chosen as the most feasible.</p>
<p>
The functional analysis, operational requirements and maintenance concept are
defined based on the differential GPS choice. A conceptual system design is then
described for each system element, the ground beacon element and the aircraft element.
The allocation of requirements, element architecture and element reliability are
examined in the conceptual design.</p> / Master of Science

A systems engineering approach to the design of a vehicle navigation systemMacDonald, Vincent J. 27 April 2010 (has links)
<p>With continuing advances in technology, the market for
vehicle navigation systems is expected to grow over the next
several years. The systems engineering process is applied to
ensure that an effective system is developed. After the need
is established, four methods of implementing a vehicle
navigation system are described. A system employing
differential GPS to determine the location of the vehicle is
chosen to be the most feasible approach.
Based on this choice, the operational requirements and
maintenance concept are defined. Possible design approaches
are then discussed. A terrestrial radio link is selected over
a satellite link to transmit the differential corrections to
users. Finally, an analysis is performed to estimate the
number of reference stations that will be required to
implement the system. The results can be used as a guideline to determine the potential cost of providing a differential
GPS service.</p> / Master of Science

Elevation Effects on GPS Positional AccuracyHeselton, Robert Reid 12 June 1998 (has links)
Data from a Coarse Acquisition (C/A) Global Positing System (GPS) map-grade receiver were evaluated to assess the accuracy of differentially corrected points. Many studies have focused on the accuracy of GPS units under ideal data collection conditions. Ideal conditions allow the collection of data with four satellites (3D mode), yet field data conditions are often less than ideal. Four satellites may not always be in view because of mountainous topography, heavy forest cover, or other obstructions which block satellite signals from the receiver. This study examines GPS accuracy when four satellites are not available, instead collecting data with only three satellites (2D mode).
3D GPS points compute four unknowns: x, y , z, and clock error. In comparison, 2D GPS points are less accurate as only three unknowns are calculated: x, y, and clock error. Elevation (or z) is not computed for 2D points, causing increased error in the horizontal (x, y) measurement. The effect of elevation was evaluated on 234 2D GPS data points. These points were collected and corrected at elevation intervals of true elevation, +-25 meters, +- 50 meters, and +-75 meters. These 2D points were then compared to surveyed points to measure the effect vertical error has on horizontal accuracy. In general, the more error in the vertical estimate during correction, the greater the horizontal error. / Master of Science
