To fulfil a train control system’s aim of reducing the need to install trackside equipment, the GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) method is applied in place of the conventional differential GNSS method. As the railway environment has the character of long operational mileage and complex GNSS measurement conditions, the GPS and BDS constellations are combined with measurement processing to improve the system’s continuity and stability. Ultra-rapid GNSS orbit and clock product is used for real-time PPP. The GNSS-PPP and IMU are tightly coupled using an Extended Kalman filter with single-differenced ionospheric-free GPS + BDS carrier phase and pseudorange observations. The carrier phase ambiguities are estimated as “float” values every epoch to reduce the impact of GNSS signal loss-of-lock and cycle slips. A train experiment was conducted on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to evaluate system performance. The results show that the proposed system has a better performance than the conventional methods, including GPS + BDS PPP, LC GPS + BDS PPP/IMU and TC GPS PPP/IMU, with 52.1%, 49.4% and 52.1%, respectively. The tightly-coupled GPS + BDS PPP/IMU system under conditions of partly blocked GNSS coverage was evaluated to evaluate the system's continuity. It was confirmed that the proposed system had more stable positioning results and higher positioning accuracy.

Carrier-phase measurement has become a fundamental task in many various engineering applications such as precise point positioning in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). Unfortunately, phase measurements obtained by traditional phase tracking techniques may be strongly affected by the presence of ambiguous phase jumps, known as cycle slips. The latter may strongly impact the performance of the considered phase tracking algorithm leading to, in the worst case, a permanent loss of lock (drop-lock) of the signal. A re-acquistion process is then necessary which afflicts the tracking performance. Therefore, to address this problem, we propose a robust nonlinear filter for carrier-phase tracking based on Restricted Variational Bayes inference. This methodology gives us a closed-form and easy-to-implement expression of the estimator. First, the algorithm is developed only for slow phase dynamics (i.e., first-order loop), then, its order is augmented by estimating a state vector formed by the carrier-phase and its derivatives. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of conventional techniques such as DPLL (Digital Phase Lock Loop) and KF (Kalman Filter)-based DPLL in terms of precision of estimation (root-mean-square error) and cycle slipping occurrence (mean-time-to-first-slip and cycle slip rate). The comparison is firstly conducted using synthetic data, and then, real GNSS data into a GNSS software-defined-radio receiver. Results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional linear filters, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low.

It is intended for improving the Wide Area precise positioning in a consistent and simple way in the multi-GNSS context, and without the need of external precise real-time products. This is the case, in particular, of the satellite clocks, which are estimated at the Wide Area GNSS network Central Processing Facility (CPF) referred to the reference receiver one; and the precise realtime ionospheric corrections, simultaneously computed under a voxel-based tomographic model with satellite clocks and other geodetic unknowns, from the uncombined and undifferenced pseudoranges and carrier phase measurements at the CPF from the Wide Area GNSS network area. The model, without fixing the carrier phase ambiguities for the time being (just constraining them by the simultaneous solution of both ionospheric and geometric components of the uncombined GNSS model), has been successfully applied and assessed against previous precise positioning techniques. This has been done by emulating real-time conditions for Wide Area GPS users during 2018 in Poland.

Real-time GNSS precise point positioning using improved robust adaptive Kalman filter / Abdelsatar Elmezayen in Survey review, Vol 53 n° 381 (November 2021)  

Public [article]  inSurvey review > Vol 53 n° 381 (November 2021) . - pp 528 - 542 Titre : Real-time GNSS precise point positioning using improved robust adaptive Kalman filter Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Abdelsatar Elmezayen, Auteur ; Ahmed El-Rabbany, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 528 - 542 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] filtre adaptatif [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] temps réel [Termes IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (Auteur) Multi-constellation GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) typically uses the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for kinematic applications. Unfortunately, the obtained positioning accuracy in this approach is prone to errors caused by measurement outliers and the system’s dynamic model. An adaptive robust Kalman filter (RKF) was recently developed to mitigate these errors. However, RKF uses empirical values as detection thresholds for the outliers, which requires the measurements to be from the same constellation and of equal precision to obtain an optimal PPP solution. The classification robust adaptive Kalman filter (CAKF) has subsequently been developed to deal with measurements of different precisions, namely pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements. This paper proposes a real-time GPS/Galileo PPP system, which employs a modified version of CAKF called the Improved Robust adaptive Kalman Filter (IRKF). The positioning performance of GPS/Galileo PPP through the IRKF is initially verified in comparison with those obtained through the EKF, RKF, and CAKF using the Centre for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) final orbit and clock products in both of static and kinematic modes. The real-time GPS/Galileo PPP solution through the IRKF is then assessed in comparison with its near-real-time counterpart. The results indicate that when the IRKF approach is utilised, the positioning accuracy is significantly improved and the convergence behaviour is enhanced compared with results from EKF, conventional RKF, and CAKF. In the real-time mode, centimeter-level horizontal positioning accuracy is achieved under an open sky environment, while decimeter-level horizontal positioning accuracy is achieved under a challenging environment. On the other hand, decimeter-level accuracy is achieved for the vertical positioning component under all environmental scenarios. Moreover, the positioning accuracy of the real-time solution is comparable to the near-real-time counterpart.
