The Institute of Navigation (INS) at the University of Stuttgart is using new software for simulations of satellite-based positioning and navigation.
The Institute of Navigation (INS) at the University of Stuttgart is using new software for simulations of satellite-based positioning and navigation. With a loud hum, the drone takes off from the ground. It is transporting a package to the city center. On its way there, it flies over streets and factories and past high-rise buildings. The drone could crash or miss its intended target due to the different interfering influences. Some examples of interfering influences include buildings which block or reflect the GPS signals. The INS is now using software from the company Orolia which students can use to simulate these scenarios.
