Development of Maritime Navigational Application Using Raw Measurements from Smart Devices

Abstract

This paper primarily focuses on the utilization of raw sensor data from smart devices based on the Android operation system (OS) for applications in maritime safe navigation. The maritime navigation application utilizes Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) L1/L5 dual-frequency raw measurements to determine user positions using the developed GNSS library, combines smart device multi-sensor information with GNSS positioning results using GPS/INS integrated navigation methods, and applies dynamic maritime information representation technology to display integrated positioning results on the next-generation Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC). Furthermore, by installing this application on ships, navigation performance results through maritime experiments are presented.
