Course objective is to provide the attendees with a comprehensive knowledge of basic theory, methodologies, and technologies for outdoor and indoor navigation systems including Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS e BEIDOU, regional systems like IRNSS, QZSS, terrestrial radio-localization systems based on 4G and 5G mobile networks, and local area networks (WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, UWB, RF-ID, etc.), inertial navigation systems (INS),and heterogeneous systems (e.g. GNSS+INS).
Additional objective is the ability to apply the previous methodologies and technologies to major applications based on the user position, like intelligent transportation systems (avionics, rail, road, maritime), infomobility, automotive, location based services for smartphones, tablets, mobile computers, and environment monitoring

Type of evaluation
The exam consists of a first written test consisting in answering to theoretical questions related to the whole course program. The written test can be integrated by an oral exam. Two ongoing tests are planned during the course. They consist in answering to theoretical questions related to the corresponding part of the course.
