Summary on Grant Application Form |

This project is a collaboration between the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences and LogicaCMG under the Pinpoint Faraday Partnership which aims to address scientific and technical issues in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as the US GPS and the European Galileo. GNSS transmit signals that can be received on the Earth to provide real-positioning of a moving platform accurate to around 20-30cm. However this accuracy is inadequate for many applications that are looking for movements at the centimetre level. Our long-term goal over a 10yr timeframe is real-time positioning anywhere anytime to millimetre accuracy based on low-cost receivers with GSM, 3G, internet, or satellite enablement for reception of integrity data, GNSS orbits, clock corrections, ionospheric and tropospheric corrections. This Holy Grail of positioning will lead to a huge expansion in applications but is unrealistic in the short-term future and can be only be realised in the decadal time frame through strenuous efforts to reduce all errors in the GNSS signal. Part of this effort will include the integration of Galileo and the modernised GPS. This proposal aims to achieve precise positioning at centimetre accuracy through research into the associated problems of orbits, clocks, ambiguity resolution, observation combinations and signal delays in the new era of GNSS.
