Differential Global Positioning System (GPS)-Based Trilateration Positioning Receiver

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-10-0017
Project Abstract:

As the Nation becomes more and more reliant on positioning, navigation, and timing solutions, greater accuracy and greater reliability are needed. This project represents a subset of the overall high-accuracy, nationwide differential GPS effort. It is broken into separate tracks, but working together for the common goal of defining what can be achieved for positioning, navigation, and timing services with GPS and when GPS has failed. This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project recently completed Phase I and is moving into Phase II. The findings of Phase I indicate that nationwide differential GPS and high-accuracy nationwide differential GPS work well as a base framework for supporting positioning, navigation, and timing when GPS is unavailable. Phase II will develop the ideas further, identifying broadcast signal characteristics that will aid in improving the accuracy possible from the current broadcast, and developing hardware for implementation of this approach.
