A press conference on awarded projects at this year’s Special Edition 2021 Invention Geneva Evaluation Days - Virtual Event was held at office of Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) on 22 April. The Silver Medal project “Seamless Navigation in Urban Environment” led by Prof. Wu Chen, Head of LSGI, was introduced in the event.
This technology was developed to improve mobile phone positioning accuracy. It enables the positioning to achieve an accuracy of 2 metres in open areas, and less than 10 metres in dense urban areas, for mobile phone-based and location-based services. It uses a position-domain DGNSS (Differential Global Navigation Satellite System) platform with an accuracy of 2 metres, the multipath mitigation engine with the integration of GNSS observation, Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) inertial sensors and a 3D map for greater accuracy in positioning.
