    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for calculating a position of a vehicle on a road segment and updating a calibration of a heading sensor based on a lane change status of the vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving vehicle characteristic data from at least one vehicle sensor; receiving map data corresponding to a vehicle location; determining a lane change status of the vehicle; calculating the vehicle position using the map data if the vehicle has not executed a lane change maneuver and calculating the vehicle position using the vehicle characteristic data if the vehicle has executed a lane change maneuver, and calibrating a heading sensor based on one or more of the map data and the vehicle characteristic data.

    Abstract: A system and method of determining a vehicle location where roads have different elevations and at least partially overlap. The method carried out by the system includes: receiving a plurality of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite signals at a vehicle; determining a vehicle location and a vehicle velocity including an up velocity based on the received GNSS signals; identifying a plurality of roads, within a range of the vehicle location, at least one of which has a different elevation than the other road(s); and selecting at least one of the plurality of roads within the range based on the up velocity component.

    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer readable storage medium for a method for making temporal corrections to position data received a plurality of components. The method includes receiving, by a processor, vehicle location data and a time stamp associated with the vehicle location data from one or more components. The method further includes calculating, by the processor, a time difference between the time stamp and a current time received from the one or more components. The method further includes determining, by the processor, a time offset using the time difference and a distance travelled between the time stamp and an occurrence of the determination for each of the one or more components. The method further includes providing, by the processor, a corrected vehicle location using the time offset for each of the one or more component.

    Abstract: A method of determining position includes providing a GNSS positioning receiver, a controller, and a non-transient computer-readable data storage. The data storage is provided with at least one 3-dimensional building model having a geographical identifier. The method also includes receiving at least one GNSS position signal. The method further includes calculating an approximate position based on the at least one GNSS position signal and that a respective GNSS position signal of the at least one GNSS position signal is a non-line-of-sight signal. The method further includes calculating, based on the building model and the respective GNSS position signal, a modeled position, and refining the modeled position based on a current heading and speed of the positioning receiver and a carrier-phase of the at least one GNSS position signal. The method still further includes calculating a final position based on the approximate position, the modeled position, and the refining step.
