The operating zone of a radio navigation system is one of its main operating features. It determines the size of a water body in which the system can be used, while guaranteeing vessels’ navigation safety. The DGPS system in the LF/MF range is now the basic positioning system in coastal waters around the world, which guarantees not only metre positioning accuracy, but it is also the only one to provide navigators with signals on positioning reliability. This paper describes and summarises over twenty years of studies dealing with the operating zone of the Polish DGPS reference station network. This paper is the fifth in a series of publications whose aim was to present in detail the process of installation, testing and long-term evaluation of the navigational parameters of the Polish DGPS system, launched in 1995. This paper includes the theoretical foundations of determination of the Dziwnów and Rozewie DGPS reference station operating zones in the years 1995-2018. Moreover, it presents the measurement results for the signal levels and the results of their analyses, which determine the station operating zones.

The completion of ECDIS mandatory implementation period on-board SOLAS vessels requires certain operational, functional and educational gaping holes to be solved. It especially refers to positioning and its redundancy, which represents fundamental safety factor on-board navigating vessels. The proposed paper deals with primary and secondary positioning used in ECDIS system. Standard positioning methods are described, discussing possibilities of obtained positions’ automatic and manual implementation in ECDIS, beside default methods. With the aim of emphasizing the need and importance of using secondary positioning source in ECDIS, positioning issue from the standpoint of end-users was elaborated, representing a practical feedback of elaborated topic. The survey was conducted in the form of international questionnaire placed among OOWs, ranging from apprentice officers to captains. The result answers and discussion regarding (non)usage of secondary positioning sources in ECDIS were analysed and presented. Answers and statements were elaborated focusing not only in usage of the secondary positioning system in ECDIS, but in navigation in general. The study revealed potential risks arising from the lack of knowledge and even negligence. The paper concludes with summary of findings related to discrepancies between theoretical background, good seamanship practice and real actions taken by OOWs. Further research activities are pointed out, together with planned practical actions in raising awareness regarding navigation with ECDIS.

The article presents a method for solving major structural problems that occur in the receiver used in the multistatic Doppler system, aimed at determination of the trajectory and velocity of a moving target. In the system two transmitters emit acoustic continuous sinusoidal waves at different frequencies. The signals, scattered from a moving target are received by four hydrophones. Beside of the echoes, much larger signals coming directly from transmitters are recorded. It has been proved that in the presence of the direct high-amplitude signal, using currently available A/D converters, there is no possibility to detect the Doppler shift of small signals. The proposed approach is based on the homodyne frequency conversion of the received signals. Subsequently, the constant component and other unwanted products of the frequency conversion are filtered. The results of computer simulation have shown the effectiveness of the adopted design solution.

Content available remote Ground-based, Hyperbolic Radiolocation System with Spread Spectrum Signal - AEGIR
EN
At present the most popular radiolocation system in the world is Global Positioning System (GPS).As it is managed by the Department of Defence of the U.S.A., there is always the risk of the occasional inaccuracies or deliberate insertion of errors, therefore this system can not be used by secret services or ar-mies of countries other than the U.S.A. This situation has engender a need for development of an autono-mous, ground-based radiolocation system, based on the hyperbolic system with spread spectrum signals. This article describes the construction and operation of such a system technology demonstrator which was devel-oped at the Technical University of Gdansk. It was named AEGIR (god of the ocean in Norse mythology). This paper presents preliminary results and analysis of its effectiveness.

Content available remote Fuzzy Evidence in Terrestrial Navigation
EN
Measurements taken in terrestrial navigation are random values. Mean errors are within certain ranges what means imprecision in their estimation. Measurements taken to different landmarks can be subjec-tively diversified. Measurements errors affect isolines deflections. The type of the relation: observation error – line of position deflection, depends on isolines gradients. All the mentioned factors contribute to an overall evidence to be considered once vessel’s position is being fixed. Traditional approach is limited in its ability of considering mentioned factors while making a fix. In order to include evidence into a calculation scheme one has to engage new ideas and methods. Mathematical Theory of Evidence extended for fuzzy environment proved to be universal platform for wide variety of new solutions in navigation.

Content available remote Assessing the Limits of eLoran Positioning Accuracy
EN
Enhanced Loran (eLoran) is the latest in the longstanding and proven series of low frequency, LOng-RAnge Navigation systems. eLoran evolved from Loran-C in response to the 2001 Volpe Report on GPS vulnerability. The next generation of the Loran systems, eLoran, improves upon Loran-C through en-hancements in equipment, transmitted signal, and operating procedures. The improvements allow eLoran to provide better performance and additional services when compared to Loran-C, and enable eLoran to serve as a backup to satellite navigation in many important applications. The Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) participates in the eLoran research activities coordinated by the General Lighthouse Authorities of the United Kingdom and Ireland (GLAs). In our work we have focused on questions that arise when considering introducing new eLoran stations into an existing network. In particular, this paper explores the issue of Cross-Rate Interference (CRI) among eLoran transmissions and possible ways of its mitigation at the receiver end. An eLoran receiver performance model is presented and validated using an experimental eLoran signal simu-lator developed by a joint effort of CTU and GLAs. The resulting model is used to evaluate the achievable positioning accuracy of eLoran over the British Isles.

Content available remote An Algorithmic Study on Positioning and Directional System by Free Gyros
EN
The authors aim to establish the theory necessary for developing free gyro positioning system and focus on measuring the nadir angle by using the motion rate of a free gyro. The azimuth of a gyro vector from the North can be given by using the property of the free gyro. The motion rate of the spin axis in the gy-ro frame is transformed into the platform frame and again into the NED (north-east-down) navigation frame. The nadir angle of a gyro vector is obtained by using the North components of the motion rate of the spin axis in the NED frame. The component has to be transformed into the horizontal component of the gyro by using the azimuth of the gyro vector and then has to be integrated over the sampling interval. Meanwhile the au-thors suggest north-finding principle by the angular velocity of the earth’s rotation. That is, ship's heading is obtained by using the fore-and-aft and athwartship components of the motion rate of the spin axis in the NED frame.

Kluczowym elementem układu sterowania dźwigu osobowego jest kontrola odwzorowania położenia kabiny w szybie. Najczęściej stosowanym rozwiązaniem jest system oparty na zestawie zamontowanych na prowadnicach dźwigu magnesów oraz umieszczonych na kabinie kontaktronów, reagujących na ich obecność w strefie zadziałania. Proces sterowania pracą dźwigu jest oparty o eksperymentalny dobór odpowiedniego położenia magnesów, co znacznie wydłuża i utrudnia proces jego instalacji. W artykule przedstawiono nowe rozwiązanie systemu odwzorowania położenia kabiny w szybie z użyciem enkodera inkrementalnego, który wykorzystując minimalną liczbę czujników może dokładnie pozycjonować kabinę w szybie.

Modern lift drive systems are very sophisticated and allow affecting almost any part of the speed curve to achieve the desirable level of passenger comfort. A user interface clearly provides all information according to the passenger needs. Mechanical and electrical construction is optimised to meet all the designer requirements. Unfortunately, there are still many problems with the magnetic positioning system in passengers lifts, especially in old buildings. The problems caused by malfunction of sensors and levelling accuracy with variable loads are often met. Also the installation and maintenance time is much longer than that in modern positioning systems which use absolute encoders. Despite all advantages, encoder based positioning systems are not widely used because of their cost. A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code, making it an angle transducer. Rotary encoders are used in many applications that require precise shaft rotation-including industrial controls, robotics, expensive photographic lenses, computer input devices (such as optomechanical mice and trackballs), and rotating radar platforms. A traditional incremental encoder works differently by providing an A and B pulse outputs which deliver no usable count information in their own right. Rather, the counting is done in the external electronics. The point where the counting begins depends on the counter in the external electronics and not on the encoder position. To provide useful position information, the encoder position must be referenced to the device to which it is attached, generally using an index pulse. The distinguishing feature of the incremental encoder is that it reports an incremental change in position of the encoder to the counting electronics. This paper describes a prototype of the positioning system using a popular incremental encoder supported by two sets of induction sensors and a specialised microcontroller unit.

The current status of EGNOS (December 2006) is described as Initial Operations Phase and the EGNOS Open Service is just about to be formally declared as available for non-safety of life service. In meanwhile the EGNOS Signal in Space is provided almost in its nominal level and delivering, when available, the nominal system performance. New positioning technologies, such as EGNOS in Europe, create a new quality in marine navigation and bring further improvement of the maritime transport safety. It may be expected that very soon EGNOS will find significant interest among the maritime community serving as the augmentation system in the maritime transport applications of GNSS. The paper discusses the EGNOS status and the expected EGNOS performance in the context of marine navigation requirements. The system performance analysis is backed with the study of the various field tests results where the EGNOS positioning performance was verified by author in the experimental way.
