  Retrospective Gap Filling – the Easy-OBU Way
Florian Kressler, Hannes Stratil, Jörg Pfister, Roman Srp and Zuzana Belinová
This paper presents the basic concept of a system for retrospective gap filling. This system is based on an on-board unit fitted out with low costs sensors. In the event of loss of satellites data from these sensors are stored in the on-board unit and, once satellite visibility is available again, transferred to a back offi ce were these data are used to calculate the route using non-causal filtering operations....
