The Importance of Human Motion for Simulation Testing of GNSS Kimon Voutsis, Paul D Groves, University College London, United Kingdom Mark Holbrow, Colin Ford, Spirent Communications plc, United Kingdom BIOGRAPHY ABSTRACT Kimon Voutsis is a PhD student of the Space Geodesy and Human motion is generally considered benign to the Navigation Laboratory (SGNL) at University College performance of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) London (UCL). He is interested in positioning sensors and and other positioning sensors. This study proves that this is navigation systems, human biomechanics and routing not the case, even for typical human behaviour involving models. The aim of his current research is the development GNSS user equipment, e.g. in smartphones. Using of a pedestrian motion model intended for testing the recorded human motion, it is shown that phase-lock loops performance of positioning sensors in a simulation (PLLs) in GNSS receivers are sensitive to jerk dynamics environment. He holds a first-class Bachelor (Hons) in induced by user motion, resulting in carrier cycle slips. Geography from Harokopio University of Athens, Greece and an MSc in Geographic Information Science from UCL. To test the effects of human dynamics on GNSS carrier He has worked for three years in technical analysis and tracking, real human motion profiles were captured. These developing GIS software solutions for the transport profiles comprised typical types of movements using a industry. (
