GBPSs are known for their low cost and high flexibility, but most of them have difficulty in achieving rapid deployment and operation, since the coordinates of transmitters rely on external precise measurements. Several existing self-calibration methods based on carrier phase measurements require known points of GBPS transmitters or receivers, which implies dependence on external measurements. This paper proposes an autonomous coordinate establishment (ACE) method without using known reference points for GBPSs. ACE utilizes a kinematic receiver to collect carrier phase measurements and employs a three-step procedure to establish a regional coordinate system. In the first step, ACE uses the properties of matrix structures to decouple generalized ambiguities and coordinates. Then, ACE obtains the rough estimation of the transmitter coordinates via multi-dimensional scaling in the second step. In the third step, ACE refines the estimate by solving a least squares problem which would be difficult to solve without the previous two steps. Numerical simulations and a real-world experiment show that the coordinate estimation of ACE can achieve decimeter to centimeter-level accuracy. The proposed method enables rapid deployment and operation for GBPSs.

Evaluation of GNSS-based volunteered geographic information for assessing visitor spatial distribution within protected areas: A case study of the Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany / Laura Horst in Applied Geography, vol 150 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inApplied Geography > vol 150 (January 2023) . - n° 102825 Titre : Evaluation of GNSS-based volunteered geographic information for assessing visitor spatial distribution within protected areas: A case study of the Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Laura Horst, Auteur ; Karolina Taczanowska, Auteur ; Florian Porst, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 102825 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique web [Termes IGN] aire protégée [Termes IGN] ArcGIS [Termes IGN] Bavière (Allemagne) [Termes IGN] distribution spatiale [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] données issues des réseaux sociaux [Termes IGN] données localisées des bénévoles [Termes IGN] géodatabase [Termes IGN] parc naturel national [Termes IGN] piéton Résumé : (auteur) Systematic monitoring of recreational use in vulnerable ecosystems is crucial to balance human needs and site capacities. Recently, publicly available digital data, including Global Navigation Satellite System-based Volunteered Geographic Information, gained attention as a potential resource depicting visitor movement. However, there is a need to critically assess its reliability for visitor monitoring across countries, regions and available databases. Our research evaluates the usability of GNSS-based VGI-data obtained from three common platforms: GPSies, Outdooractive, and Komoot for assessing the spatial distribution of hikers in the Bavarian Forest National Park. A total sample of 1742 GNSS-tracks uploaded between 2013 and 2018 were compared across data platforms. Additionally, available systematic field counts, carried out between 2013 and 2014 (11 Eco-Counter sensors), were compared to GNSS-based VGI data uploaded within the corresponding period. The comparisons at individual and collective levels (route lengths, kernel density, optimized hotspot analysis along with fishnet-based counts of GNSS-tracks) showed similarities between VGI data platforms. Data obtained from GPSies and Outdooractive displayed a higher correlation with each other than with those obtained from Komoot. Also, for GPSies, there was a significant positive correlation between VGI-data and field count data. Data sample of Outdooractive and Komoot within the specified spatio-temporal frame was too small to compare with available field count data. We highlight the necessity of systematic validation of GNSS-based VGI data resources, being complementary rather than the primary data source in visitor monitoring and recreation planning. Also, systematic long-term visitor monitoring using other methods is crucial to assess the validity of novel data resources, such as GNSS-based VGI.

The knowledge of the TRF is fundamental for Earth and navigation sciences. For instance, quantifying sea level change strongly depends on an accurate determination of the geocenter motion but also of the positions of continental and island reference stations, such as those located at tide gauges, as well as the ground stations of tracking networks. Also, numerous applications in geophysics require absolute millimeter precision from the reference frame, as for example monitoring tectonic motion or crustal deformation, contributing to a better understanding of natural hazards. The TRF accuracy to be achieved represents the consensus of various authorities, including the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), which has enunciated geodesy requirements for Earth sciences. Moreover, the United Nations Resolution 69/266 states that the full societal benefits in developing satellite missions for positioning and Remote Sensing of the Earth are realized only if they are referenced to a common global geodetic reference frame at the national, regional and global levels. Today we are still far from these ambitious accuracy and stability goals for the realization of the TRF. However, a combination and co-location of all four space geodetic techniques on one satellite platform can significantly contribute to achieving these goals. This is the purpose of the GENESIS mission, a component of the FutureNAV program of the European Space Agency. The GENESIS platform will be a dynamic space geodetic observatory carrying all the geodetic instruments referenced to one another through carefully calibrated space ties. The co-location of the techniques in space will solve the inconsistencies and biases between the different geodetic techniques in order to reach the TRF accuracy and stability goals endorsed by the various international authorities and the scientific community. The purpose of this paper is to review the state-of-the-art and explain the benefits of the GENESIS mission in Earth sciences, navigation sciences and metrology. This paper has been written and supported by a large community of scientists from many countries and working in several different fields of science, ranging from geophysics and geodesy to time and frequency metrology, navigation and positioning. As it is explained throughout this paper, there is a very high scientific consensus that the GENESIS mission would deliver exemplary science and societal benefits across a multidisciplinary range of Navigation and Earth sciences applications, constituting a global infrastructure that is internationally agreed to be strongly desirable.

Improving undifferenced precise satellite clock estimation with BDS-3 quad-frequency B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a observations for precise point positioning / Guoqiang Jiao in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 28 Titre : Improving undifferenced precise satellite clock estimation with BDS-3 quad-frequency B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a observations for precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Guoqiang Jiao, Auteur ; Shuli Song, Auteur ; Ke Su, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 28 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis Résumé : (auteur) Estimates of satellite clock offsets typically employ dual-frequency undifferenced (UD) ionospheric-free (IF) observations from global network. The third-generation BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) can transmit B1I (1561.098 MHz), B3I (1268.52 MHz), B1C (1575.42 MHz), B2a (1176.45 MHz), B2b (1207.14 MHz) and B2ab (1191.795 MHz) signals. To make full use of the advantage of BDS-3 multi-frequency signals and improve BDS-3 service performance, we present some new quad-frequency satellite clock estimation techniques using B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a signals, which are QFIF0 model combining B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a IF observables, QFIF1 model combining the B1I/B3I, B3I/B1C and B1I/B2a IF observables, QFIF2 model combining B1I/B3I and B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a IF observables, and quad-frequency uncombined QFUC model, respectively. These new techniques only improve the performance of satellite clock estimation by fully utilizing the BDS-3 multi-frequency observations on the premise of ensuring the dual-frequency IF datum but also obtain the corresponding inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) simultaneously. The quad-frequency satellite clock offsets are evaluated in terms of the clock offset precision, the modified Allan deviation (MDEV) and precise point positioning (PPP) performances. The new methods can improve the performances of the estimated clock offsets compared with the traditional dual-frequency IF model. The precision for the estimated clock offsets using quad-frequency satellite clock estimation models can be improved by 13–26% in terms of standard deviation (STD). The improvement of frequency stability ranges from 0 to 24%, especially for the short-term stability, which can reach 12% and 24% for B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a clock offsets, respectively. Similarly, the corresponding PPP performance has also been better improved with respect to those of using traditional dual-frequency IF clock offsets. Thus, the proposed quad-frequency satellite clock estimation techniques can be well applied into precise satellite clock estimation.

INS-assisted inter-system biases estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution in a complex environment / Wenhao Zhao in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 3 Titre : INS-assisted inter-system biases estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution in a complex environment Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Wenhao Zhao, Auteur ; Genyou Liu, Auteur ; Ming Gao, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 3 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] centrale inertielle [Termes IGN] erreur systématique inter-systèmes [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] système complexe [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) The inter-system real-time kinematic (RTK) model in which multiple systems choose the same reference satellite uses more observations than the traditional intra-system RTK model; however, it is still difficult to accurately determine the differential inter-system biases (DISB) and inter-system ambiguity in a complex environment. We propose a tightly coupled inter-system RTK/INS model that uses the high-precision position information the inertial navigation system (INS) provides to assist in DISB estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution. Vehicle experiments on urban roads were designed to verify the effectiveness of the method. The vehicle experiments consisted of a simulated rare satellite environment with a high cutoff elevation angle and a real complex environment with buildings and trees obscuration. A robust Kalman filter strategy is used to combat the effects of multipath and non-line-of-sight signals in real complex environments. The results indicate that with the help of INS, the standard deviation of phase and code DISB is reduced by 11 and 17%, respectively, in the simulated environment and by 33 and 18%, respectively, in the real complex environment. Compared with the intra-system RTK/INS model, inter-system RTK/INS mode 3D positioning root-mean-square error is reduced by 79% in the simulated environment and by 27% in the real complex environment. In the single-epoch mode, the ambiguity success rates of the inter-system RTK/INS model, inter-system RTK model, intra-system RTK/INS model and intra-system RTK model are 89, 74, 69 and 58%, respectively, in the simulated environment, and 68, 41, 64 and 12%, respectively, in the real complex environment.
