Resumen
Local Positioning Systems are an active topic of research in the field of autonomous navigation. Its application in difficult complex scenarios has meant a solution to provide stability and accuracy for high-demanded applications. In this paper, we propose a methodology to enhance Local Positioning Systems performance in sensor failure contexts. This fact guarantees system availability in adverse conditions. For this purpose, we apply a Genetic Algorithm Optimization in a five-sensor 3D TDOA architecture in order to optimize the sensor deployment in nominal and adverse operating conditions. We look for a trade-off between accuracy and algorithm convergence in the position determination in four (failure conditions) and five sensor distributions. Results show that the optimization with failure consideration outperforms the non-failure optimization in a 47% in accuracy and triples the convergence radius size in failure conditions, with a penalty of only 6% in accuracy during normal performance.
