A Novel 3D Multilateration Sensor Using Distributed Ultrasonic Beacons for Indoor Navigation

A Novel 3D Multilateration Sensor Using Distributed Ultrasonic Beacons for Indoor Navigation

Navigation and guidance systems are a critical part of any autonomous vehicle. In this paper, a novel sensor grid using 40 KHz ultrasonic transmitters is presented for adoption in indoor 3D positioning applications. In the proposed technique, a vehicle measures the arrival time of incoming ultrasoni...
