GNSS Hardware-In-The-Loop Formation and Tracking Control

Focusing on simulated one-way formation tracking and control, this research utilizes GNSS hardware and software to model realistic vehicle behavior. It investigates formation keeping and tracking for multi-vehicle simulations, developing a predictive navigation and control algorithm. The study features a real-time GNSS closed hardware-in-the-loop testbed, employing MATLAB and various GNSS hardware simulators and receivers. While primarily aimed at space applications, the findings also extend to automated automobile travel using GPS technology.
