Abstract:

The GNSS signal suffers from quality degradation or outages due to blockages in the urban environment, leading to the error divergence of precise point positioning (PPP)/inertial navigation system (INS) tightly coupled system. Although the traditional height constraint models based on the constant height hypothesis can effectively suppress INS error accumulation under flat surface, it is difficult to enhance the PPP/INS tightly coupled model because of unadapting the change of surface under the high occlusion environment. In this paper, considering the similar characteristic of short-term height variation rate during vehicle experiment, an adaptive short-term height variation rate constraint (ASTHVRC) model of PPP/INS tightly coupled system is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed model is verified by both simulated occlusive environment and real urban environment. In the real urban environment, comparing with the height constraint-free (HCF), the height rate-weighted constant height constraint (HRWHC) and the inter-epoch constant height constraint (ICHC), the results show that ASTHVRC model improves the accuracy of PPP/INS tightly coupled height solution by 52.2%, 49.2%, 70.9%, respectively.
