Abstract
AbstractIndoor positioning navigation technologies have developed rapidly, but little effort has been expended on integrity monitoring in Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) and WiFi indoor positioning navigation systems. PDR accuracy will drift over time. Meanwhile, WiFi positioning accuracy decreases in complex indoor environments due to severe multipath propagation and interference with signals when people move about. In our research, we aimed to improve positioning quality with an integrity monitoring algorithm for a WiFi/PDR-integrated indoor positioning system based on the unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The integrity monitoring is divided into three phases. A test statistic based on the innovation of UKF determines whether the positioning system is abnormal. Once a positioning system abnormality is detected, a robust UKF (RUKF) is triggered to achieve higher positioning accuracy. Again, the innovation of RUKF is used to judge the outliers in observations and identify positioning system faults. In the last integrity monitoring phase, users will be alerted in time to reduce the risk from positioning fault. We conducted a simulation to analyze the computational complexity of integrity monitoring. The results showed that it did not substantially increase the overall computational complexity when the number of dimensions in the state vector and observation vector in the system is small (< 20). In practice, the number of dimensions of state vector and observation vector in an indoor positioning system rarely exceeds 20. The proposed integrity monitoring algorithm was tested in two field experiments, showing that the proposed algorithm is quite robust, yielding higher positioning accuracy than the traditional method, using only UKF.
