Best Paper Award for Brian Niehöfer, Florian Schweikowski and Christian Wietfeld

With the contribution "Smart Constellation Selection for Precise Vehicle Positioning in Urban Canyons using a Software-Defined Receiver Solution", it was possible for Brian Niehöfer, Florian Schweikowski and Christian Wietfeld to win the coveted Best Student Paper Award at the 20th IEEE Symposium on Communications and Vehicular Technology (SCVT). The contribution, which was written within the scope of the Collaborative Research Center 876, subproject B4 and the Airbeam project, deals with the resource-efficient increase in accuracy for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Realization and performance of the Smart Constellation Selection were quantified by means of a specifically developed Software-Defined GNSS Receiver in more than 500 measurements with two georeferencing points on the campus of TU Dortmund. Application examples are a more accurate traffic forecast by recording lane-specific events (temporary road works, etc.) in road traffic or geo routing algorithms for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
