Wang et al. [2015] and Qian et al.

This research applies the above mentioned novel multisensor integration strategy to integrate GPS receiver and multiple low-cost IMUs so that the systematic errors and measurements of these IMUs can be individually modeled in the navigation Kalman filter, instead of being a group of the commonly shared states for all of the IMUs. Experiments and simulations were tested to show the practicability of the proposed integrated navigation strategy.","PeriodicalId":340067,"journal":{"name":"2017 Forum on Cooperative Positioning and Service (CPGPS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126520730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The noise variances are composed of the white noise and flicker noise vectors of different components. The correlations among the different component noise vectors were then analyzed by univariate linear regression, and the regression equations were established. Results show that a moderate correlation exists among the white noise vectors in each station direction, especially a high correlation degree exists among the horizontal components. The flicker noise vector only has a moderate correlation among the horizontal directions. A change in one noise direction for the two correlated noise vectors can explain the more than 60% noise change in the other direction.","PeriodicalId":340067,"journal":{"name":"2017 Forum on Cooperative Positioning and Service (CPGPS)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123810915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional methods often process cycle slips of satellite-by-satellite based on the geometry-free combinations of multiple frequencies. The geometry-free model ignores the mutual strong links between different satellite observations, which degrades the efficiency of cycle slip processing. With gradual availability of multi-frequency GNSS, the correlations of observations between multi-frequency and between satellites should be taken full advantage of. In this contribution, we will dedicate to present a geometry-based and ionosphere-weighted approach for integer cycle slip estimation, along with handling of receiver coordinate parameters, receiver clock error and ionospheric delays, which is generally applicable to arbitrary number of frequencies of CDMA satellite systems. When it is unable to effectively fix all of the cycle slips simultaneously, we further propose to partially fix the cycle slips that can be reliably fixed. Extensive experiments are carried out using undifferenced dual/triple-frequency BDS data to validate the performance of our proposed method. The result shows that by using the predicted ionospheric variations, the data gaps up to 30–45 s can be effectively connected, and the cycle slips can be correctly fixed even in case of the poor situations where continuous cycle slips occur on all satellites.","PeriodicalId":340067,"journal":{"name":"2017 Forum on Cooperative Positioning and Service (CPGPS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133470710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The average number of tracking GPS satellites for dual-frequency is only 5 due to the low tracking ability of L2 frequency.

Through post processing and analysis, it has been demonstrated that the displacements and natural frequencies identified with GNSS data are highly consistent with those obtained by using a finite element (FE) model. However, structural health monitoring needs to measure all spectrum of the dynamic responses of bridges such as deformations, natural frequencies, damping, etc. in real-time in order to support the timely decision making for the bridge operation and maintenance, particularly under extreme loading conditions caused by busy traffic, severe wind or even earthquake etc. This paper proposes a new quasi real time time-frequency analysis strategy based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). With the support of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the University of Nottingham in the UK, one week of real-life GNSS data gathered from the Forth Road Bridge in Scotland has been used since the traffic loading has an approximate repetition period of one week from the weekdays to weekend. Firstly, the approximate frequency distribution is achieved by using the whole date set. Then a sliding window method is proposed to simulate a quasi real time mode for the time-frequency analysis, and a set of experiments are carried out to decide the optimal window length and the overlapped sliding step, through which the natural frequencies and relevant deformation amplitudes can be calculated at the same time. Finally, the results show that the natural frequencies calculated by FFT are quite stable which indicates the frequency responses are not sensitive enough to the changing loadings. However, the relevant amplitude time series of each frequency can clearly display the influence caused by different kinds of loading respectively, such as vehicles and wind etc., which would be a reliable indicator of bridge dynamic responses to assess the structural health conditions in the future.","PeriodicalId":340067,"journal":{"name":"2017 Forum on Cooperative Positioning and Service (CPGPS)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121472912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
