Satelite navigation systems and digital maps - course description

Aim of the course

• Obtaining competences in the field of satellite navigation systems (GNSS) and digital maps and use them in IT projects
• To familiarize students with the use of GNSS systems, data acquisition, determination the level of confidence and accuracy of the data
• Developing skills in the use of GNSS system interfaces
• Shaping skills in the field of design and programming of applications with integrated digital maps.

Scope

The genesis of GNSS systems, in particular, the GPS and Galileo systems. Overview of operational satellite navigation systems. Components of satellite navigation systems (user segment,
cosmic and control). The ability to obtain data and to integrate user segment devices with
other IT systems. The concept and principle of operation of satellite navigation systems. methods
distance measurement, position determination, azimuth, and speed. Distribution of time and frequency pattern. Reliability of information from GNSS systems and factors affecting performance and correctness determination of position and time (clock errors, ionosphere impact, tracking errors, multipath). Accidental and deliberate jamming and spoofing of satellite navigation systems. Registration, formats storing and analyzing data from GNSS systems. Application of GNSS systems in
civil and military solutions. Geographic information services and systems (GIS) using GNSS systems. Limitations of GNSS systems, possibilities and directions of further development.
Systems of satellite navigation augmentation. Digital map formats. Integration of digital maps in
applications, including mobile, GIS systems. Creating applications enabling, tracking and registration
position and its location on the map.
