Start date: 20/11/2025Duration: 24 MonthsGNSS technologies typically suffer significant accuracy issues in urban environments due to signal degradation caused by obstacles like buildings which block and reflects GNSS signals leading to big positioning errors. The most dangerous impairments are due to specularly reflected Non-Line-Of-Sight (srNLOS) signals. Such errors can be attenuated through the application of the Intelligent Urban… -
