Abstract
This paper aims to investigate how 1m LiDAR data and 2D building footprints can be used to predict GPS multipath effects in urban areas. A ray tracing model is implemented in order to model reflected and diffracted GPS signals. Some preliminary results are presented and explained in detail.
