ABOUT US

RWTH is a certified family-friendly University. We support our employees in maintaining a good work-life balance with a wide range of health, advising, and prevention services, for example university sports. Employees who are covered by collective bargaining agreements and civil servants have access to an extensive range of further training courses and the opportunity to purchase a job ticket.

In urban area, conventional satellite-based navigation systems have the problem of limited satellite signals reception due to tall building obscuring the view of satellites. In addition, there are a lot of signal interferences which severely impair the reception quality. These signal disturbances are challenging for autonomous driving in cities. In the Firefly project, a new navigation system is developed which fuses GNSS signals with LTE signals and measurements of an inertial measurement unit to achieve accurate and robust localization and state estimation in urban canyons. You will help to review literatures, implement navigation filters (unscented kalman filter and factor graph optimization), support us with development of software submodules and during measurement campaignes.
