چکیده

In the near future, many more navigation satellites with dual frequency L1 and L5 will be deployed. The increased number of satellites and the possibility of mitigating the ionospheric delay using dual frequency have opened the door to the possible use of RAIM for vertical guidance. For this purpose, several Advanced RAIM (ARAIM) algorithms have been proposed and extensive simulation studies have established that with two constellations it might be possible to achieve global coverage of LPV 200, which requires a 35 meter Vertical Alert Limit. However there have only been limited tests with actual receiver measurements. In order to build confidence in ARAIM for vertical guidance, which is dependent on the performance of the GNSS core constellations, an extensive validation effort on an ARAIM prototype will be necessary. In this paper, we will test an ARAIM prototype using large datasets of L1 CA and L2 semi-codeless GPS measurements collected in ground stations located worldwide. Our specific goal for this paper is to test the ARAIM algorithm on a hundred ground receivers for four months. For each receiver, we will compute the Vertical Protection Level (VPL), the actual Vertical Position Error (VPE) etc every second. Then we will test the ability of ARAIM to bound VPEs under nominal conditions – the actual data , data fault conditions – the faults that might have happened during the four months and are similar to the real fault condition-, and simulated fault conditions.

Advanced RAIM System Architecture with a Long Latency Integrity Support Message

Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) is a promising concept enabling aviation safety of life operations, in particular approaches with vertical guidance [1]. The benefits of ARAIM would include a reduced ground infrastructure, a reduced dependency on any one GNSS core constellation, and, in general, a lesser exposure to single points of failure. In ARAIM, as in RAIM, the ai...

Prototyping Advanced RAIM for Vertical Guidance

In the next decade, the GNSS environment is going to undergo a major transformation. First, two more GNSS core constellations are expected to be launched, Galileo and Compass. When these constellations are in their final operational capability, there will be three times more ranging sources. Second, GPS and the new core constellations will broadcast signals in two frequencies L1 and L5 (E5 a or...

Mitigation of short duration satellite outages for Advanced RAIM and other integrity systems based on GNSS

In most systems providing GNSS integrity to aircraft, like Satellite-based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), Groundbased Augmentation Systems (GBAS), Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM), or the proposed Advanced RAIM, the user position is computed using only the measurements of the current epoch (albeit carrier-smoothed). This snapshot approach is well suited for integrity, because it do...

Progress on Working Group-C Activities on Advanced RAIM

Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) is a concept that extends RAIM to other constellations beyond GPS. ARAIM will enable the integration in the position solution of the newer GNSS core constellations that may have different properties (in particular with higher failure rates than GPS). This inclusion will provide better levels of performance of horizontal guidance than RAI...
