Recent Advances in Integrated GNSSs towards Seamless Navigation Using Multi-Sensor Fusion Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) have become indispensable for various navigation applications, ranging from personal navigation devices to autonomous vehicles. However, GNSSs face challenges in providing accurate and reliable positioning in environments with signal blockages, multipath effects, and interference. To overcome these limitations, integrating GNSSs with other sensors, such as inertial sensors, vision sensors, LiDAR, and radar, has emerged as a promising solution.

This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute their original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on the recent advances in integrated GNSSs and multi-sensor fusion technology for seamless navigation. The goal is to foster discussions and the exchange of ideas on various aspects of integrated GNSSs, including system architectures, sensor integration techniques, fusion algorithms, and real-world applications.

• Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Innovative architectures and algorithms for integrated GNSS systems;
• Sensor fusion techniques for enhancing positioning accuracy and reliability;
• Integration of the GNSS with inertial sensors, vision sensors, LiDAR, radar, etc.
• Seamless navigation solutions for challenging environments (e.g., urban canyons, indoor areas, dense foliage);
• Integration of the GNSS with emerging technologies such as 5G, IoT, and AI;
• Performance evaluation and validation of integrated GNSSs;
• Applications of integrated GNSSs in autonomous vehicles, robotics, precision agriculture, and other relevant fields.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
