报告人介绍：

Prof. Washington Yotto Ochieng, FREng is the Chair in Positioning and Navigation Systems, Founder and Director of Imperial College Engineering Geomatics (ICEGG) and Head of the Centre for Transport Studies at Imperial College London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Chartered Engineer and Winner of Royal Institute of Navigation’s highest award, the Harold Spencer-Jones Gold Medal, for outstanding contribution to navigation. Ochieng’s research interests are in the design of positioning and navigation systems for land, sea and air applications; air traffic management and intelligent transport systems. He has made significant contributions to major international projects including the design of Europe’s GNSS(EGNOS and GALILEO), error modelling, specification of aircraft trajectory management tools for the Single European Sky's ATM Research (SESAR) programme, integrated positioning systems for many applications including ITS, and assessment of the vulnerabilities of critical national infrastructure.

Ochieng has been the PI on many TfL projects including on integrity monitoring and specification of a GNSS antenna for the next generation of iBUS. His other major positioning and navigation projects include those funded the Research Councils UK: SPACE (seamless positioning in all conditions and environment), GAARDIAN (GNSS protection from interference and iNSight (hybridized navigation technologies for high accuracy positioning and navigation); the UK Civil Aviation Authority: GPS Signal-in-Space Monitoring Programme; EU/ESA: ANASTASIA (integrated satellite technologies and techniques for aircraft) and Enhanced precise point positioning. Ochieng is a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, Chartered Institute of Navigation and the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors.

报告介绍：

The introduction of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) is envisaged to have a profound impact on society in terms of enhancing road safety, facilitating efficient transport via novel mobility-on-demand services and improving air quality. However, in addition to the challenges of regulation and societal acceptance, there are a number of operational and technological challenges. This lecture will explore the benefits of CAVs, highlighting the technological challenges focussing on positioning and navigation, and simultaneous localisation and mapping.
