SELECTED ASPECTS OF ADVANCED RECEIVER AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY MONITORING APPLICATION TO KALMAN FILTER BASED NAVIGATION FILTER

摘要

A method of advanced receiver autonomous integrity monitoring of a navigation system is discussed and two modifications facilitating its implementation in a hybrid navigation system are disclosed. In the first approach, relations describing the effect of unmodeled biases in pseudo-measurement on the Kalman filter state estimate are analytically derived and their incorporation into the integrity monitoring algorithm is described. The method comprises receiving a plurality of signals transmitted from space-based satellites, determining a position full-solution and sub-solutions, specifying a pseudorange bias, computing a transformation matrix for the full-solution and all sub-solutions using a Kalman filter, computing a bias effect on an error of filtered state vectors of all sub-solutions, and adding the effect to computed vertical and horizontal protection levels. In the second approach, a modification for computationally effective calculation of the protection levels of hybrid navigation systems based on both integrity and non-integrity assured pseudorange error descriptions is disclosed.
