Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague:
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are the core technology for many kinds of applications in terms of positioning and navigation. With the advent of low-cost multi-GNSS and multi-frequency receivers, the use of GNSS will become more popular—especially in precise positioning such as DGNSS, RTK, and PPP. However, GNSS also has unstable accuracy in challenging environments and is very vulnerable to interference. To cope with these issues, many researchers are currently developing and improving signal processing, data processing, multi-GNSS/frequency capability use, and sensor or feature aiding. It is very important for us to improve the accuracy, availability, and reliability of GNSS for future critical applications such as autonomous driving, unmanned monitoring of construction, and surveys in difficult environments as well as unmanned aerial and ground vehicles.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality research articles and review papers on advances in GNSS data processing and navigation in challenging environments. Developments that improve the performance and efficiency of GNSS data processing for typical urban conditions (strong multipath, NLOS, etc.), machine learning and neural network approaches to GNSS, and sensor fusion using IMU, speed, camera and Lidar etc. 3D map aiding are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
