Proposal of Pedestrian-Oriented Wearable GPS with the New Scalable Capability of Instantaneous Azimuth Limitation

抄録

A pedestrian would find it difficult to steadily acquire his bearings justusing a Global Positioning System(GPS). This paper proposes a novel practical methodfor acquiring azimuth instantaneously with a new wearable GPS user segment that workseven when the user is stationary. This is suitable for timely decision making out-of-doors.Possible systems are also proposed using this method. The device using this method canwork both by itself and in combination;when multiple devices are connected, the azimuthlimitation capability is improved. Improvements due to scalability are quantitatively con-firmed with computer simulation.
