Short Biography:
Joel Barnes, until he joined the Locata Corporation fulltime in March 2007, was a Research Fellow at the School of Surveying & SIS, The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia. He obtained a Doctor of Philosophy in Satellite Geodesy from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, U.K., in 2000. Since his arrival at UNSW Joel has assisted in the research and development of a new pseudolite-based indoor/outdoor positioning technology. Other current research interests include pseudolites in general, GPS receiver firmware customization and high precision kinematic GPS positioning. Since 2004 Joel also was involved in research in the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information. He is now a Visiting Fellow at UNSW.
Research Interests:
-
Vehicle tracking using GPS and Pseudolites: The overall aim of the project is to develop a generic, cost effective solution to the tracking of mobile vehicles, both outside and indoors. Feasibility study is currently being undertaken in conjunction with BHP Steel, within the Flat Products Slab Handling areas, at the Port Kembla works.
-
Develop and test a new generation GPS-RTK system for instantaneous carrier phase-based positioning: The research concentrates on improving ambiguity resolution and validation procedures, and the modelling of the double differenced carrier phase observable used in the most common of the modern processing algorithms. Both functional and stochastic aspects are considered, in order to adequately deal with the modelling of atmospheric and multipath errors.
- Locatalite technology: Assisting in the development and testing of an innovative new pseudolite-based "transceiver" positioning technology, with promise for high precision indoor/outdoor positioning.
- Customisation of GPS receivers using Software Development Kits.
Interests:
Outdoor activities including: windsurfing, wakeboarding, camping, walking and climbing.
