Abstract

Abstract: With BDS being continually providing service in the Asia-Pacific Region, GLONASS being fully operational with 24 satellites in orbit again and GPS modernization, multi-GNSS network RTK will become the development trend of network RTK in the future. The data of multi-GNSS will be process by data reserving, editing and managing system of network RTK (DREAMNET), which developed independently by this research group, to analyze and compare the positioning accuracy between different combinations of global navigation satellite system. According to the experiment, the positioning accuracy of GPS/BDS/GLONASS network RTK and GPS/BDS network RTK is highest, GPS and BDS only second. Besides, with the increasing of the cut-off elevation, the availability of single GPS network RTK significantly reduces. However with 40°cut-off elevations, positioning service with the accuracy of 0.005m in horizontal, 0.025m in vertical will be provided by GPS/BDS/GLONASS network RTK in 99.84% time of a day. Finally, the statistics of positioning accuracy for 15days show that the accuracy of 0.01m in horizontal, 0.025m in vertical could be reached in six situations, which including BDS and BDS/GLONASS network RTK. Besides, the accuracy of 0.006m in horizontal, 0.015m in vertical could be reached by GPS/BDS/GLONASS network RTK, proving that the positioning accuracy and stability of DREAMNET can meet the needs of surveying and mapping.

Key words: GPS, BDS, GLONASS, network RTK, positioning accuracy comparison
