Efficiency of MEMS Inertial Sensors Used in Low-dynamics Application
Journal Title: TransNav, the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The analysis presents the performance of navigation application driven with MEMS and FOG inertial sensors. The inertial sensors were working under conditions simulating a potential robotic mission, which reduce accuracy of some of the navigation applications. Empirical results of the test confirm degradation of the navigation system performance in the presented demanding mission. Influence of the testing conditions and of the inertial sensor technology is presented and discussed in the paper.

The Human Element and Autonomous Ships
The autonomous ship technology has become a “hot” topic in the discussion about more efficient, environmentally friendly and safer sea transportation solutions. The time is becoming mature for the introduction of commerc...
Control System of Training Ship Keeping the Desired Path Consisting of Straight-lines and Circular Arcs
Presented in this paper is a new, expanded approach to setting the planned route within restricted sea areas where there are permanent obstacles or other vessels, and then tracking it by the ship. In this project the des...
The Theoretical Basis of the Concept of Using the Controlled Pyrotechnical Reaction Method as an Energy Source in Transportation from the Sea Bed
In recent years we have observed the global growing interest in undersea exploitation of mineral deposits. Research on various concepts of operating systems on the seabed has been conducted, where different methods of tr...
An Experimental Identification of Multipath Effect in GPS Positioning Error
The analysis of the GPS multipath effects in maritime environment is constrained with the practice of traditional GPS receiver design, that prevents access to GPS signals in Base-band Processing Domain. Here we propose a...
