Although dual-frequency GPS receivers are widely adopted for structural monitoring applications to guarantee coordinate accuracy of the order of a few centimetres, the associated cost is too high to place larger number of these sensors. It has been recently recognised that single-frequency GPS receivers have great potential to be the smart sensors for measuring structural displacement due to their low-cost, small form-factor and low power consumption. Hence, the structural monitoring using single-frequency GPS receivers provides a much more cost-effective and compact tool for these applications; however, it remains a challenge to resolve the ambiguities rapidly and reliably. To address such a technical issue, this research focuses on design of GPS measurement models that can be effectively implemented in the structural monitoring networks. The main feature of these models is that they simultaneously model all available observables within the network, including not only GPS satellite ranging signals but also some dynamic constraints of structural monitoring networks, such as nominal coordinates and baselines of the target antennas. A series of tests has been carried out, using simulated satellite geometries and measurements, to assess impact of the proposed models on kinematic positioning performance. The results indicate that overall performance of the models that employ the single-frequency GPS observables and the dynamic constraints can be significantly improved by employing the redundant measurements.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the validity and uncertainty of the L1 stations in southeastern Taiwan. It is well known that the main error source of single-frequency GPS relative positioning in low latitude areas comes from an atmospheric delay, even if the relative distance is only a few kilometres. In this study, two methods of correction algorithms, including adopting local ionospheric models and applying correction terms from local CORS, are tested to estimate the long-period accuracy of station positioning. Our results indicate that the standard deviation of calibrated relative positioning is in a linear trend with respect to the baseline length. The derived positioning accuracies from applying correction terms from CORS provide satisfactory results with the linear ratios of standard deviation/baseline of 0·11±0·02, 0·12±0·02, 0·44±0·06 mm km–1 in the north, east and up component, respectively for relative distances under 30 km. The corresponding positioning scatterings amount to 3, 3 and 13 mm, in the north, east and up component, respectively. Although the use of a local ionospheric model algorithm can significantly reduce positioning variation, especially in the north component, the use of the correction terms method yields the best positioning results for three components, horizontal and vertical.
