Summary on Grant Application Form
The research proposed here is part of a larger research project; investigating the development of techniques and systems able to locate and position underground pipes and cables. The research here will investigate various areas that will augment kinematic GPS, able to position with a precision of approximately 1cm. The augmentation will take place in two means, firstly physical augmentation using INS, HSGPS and pseudolites, and secondly simulating the possibilities of the near future (- 5 years) when Galileo and future GPS is available.
