GPS Programs at a
Crossroads
BY Don Jewell
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, DEFENSE
ne of the most pressing problems

for GPS is access to space. How
are we going to actually lift new
satellites into orbit?
A few weeks ago, the ULA consortium that has launched
all GPS satellites since 2006 made a carefully worded
announcement.
Unfortunately we are unable to submit a compliant bid
for GPS III-X launch services.
The first GPS III SV will be ready for delivery to the
government in mid-2016, possibly earlier. With a 90-day
checkout it could be ready for launch as soon as late fall 2016.
The problem at that point becomes there is no evidence
that the government currently has a viable certified program
to launch, control or maintain the GPS III satellites and
payloads.
Because of altered printing and mailing schedules, due to the

holidays, of both December and January issues announcing this
poll, results are not available in time to publish in the January issue.
We will publish the results in the February issue.
Next Question:
How many signals are optimal for inclusion in a consumer
GNSS chipset?
GO TO WWW.GPSWORLD.COM/FEBPOLL.
Complete the survey by Jan. 22.

OUT IN FRONT
Resilient
BY Alan Cameron
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AND GROUP PUBLISHER
dvocacy in the U.S. capital

urges augmentation of GPS/
GNSS with eLoran and other
complementary terrestrial PNT services
to increase resilience. See the Resilient
Navigation and Timing Foundations
website, rntfnd.org. This is assuredly a
good thing, a worthy cause.
Ive come to believe, however, that true
resilience goes beyond what we normally
think of as position and timing sensors.
Stimulus comes from a keynote lecture
by Dawn Wright, Esri chief scientist, at
the 2015 American Geophysical Union
Fall Meeting. I hope Esri or the AGU will
publish the lecture or post the video. For
now, bear with my limited rendition.
In Toward a Digital Resilience, with
a Dash of Location Enlightenment,
Wright describes the new science of big
data: the flood of info from satellites,
sensors and other measuring systems;
the issues inherent in large data sets;
and the insight discovered through
their manipulation and exploration. She
talks to geographic information systems

professionals, software makers and users,
but her remarks resonate beyond that
associated industry sector and well into
that of PNT hardware, where we live.
Integrate, integrate, integrate!
Interoperability and crosswalking with
other systems and data sets. To make
it reproducible, make it virtual as in
virtual, living journals. These are three of
the eight ideas toward digital resilience
that she espouses, making communities
more resilient with tools and data.
Ill return to this in a later editorial;
theres much around which still to wrap
my head. But heres the moral: resilient
PNT will ultimately mean more than
complementary sensors. It will entail a
seamless mesh of hardware and software,
of pre-existing and new data, much of it
from sources we dont currently consider
PNT-relevant, of input from amateur app
makers and users, and more.
Its a big universe out there.

Women in PNT Extend a Hand

A first-time gathering at ION GNSS+ gives mentors in the GNSS field an opportunity to help newcomers.
had the privilege of

attending a unique and
special gathering at
ION GNSS+ this past
September. The meet-andgreet event was Women
in PNT, sponsored by the
Institute of Navigation
(ION), Spirent Federal
Systems and NovAtel.
The idea to organize it
cropped up last January in
discussions with several ION
colleagues, men and women,
who recognize that both aca-
demia and industry in the

navigation-related fields may
not be considered as an attractive career path for young
female professionals, due
to insufficient mentorship
and too few role models,
explained organizer Dorota
Grejner-Brzezinska, who is
ION president, a professor
at The Ohio State University and contributor to GPS
World. The main goal of
this, and future gatherings, is
to show the younger women
in PNT that balancing engineering or academic career
with family life is quite possible, and that there are many
of us out there who can mentor, advise and help.
The guests were treated even realize we had that

sensitivity, constellation availability
dropping to one to save power when
satellite availability is good. Two
constellations give enough satellites for
accuracy and availability in obstructed
environments. Which two depends
on needs regarding cost, power and
so on, GPS and Galileo being better in
the future for less power, but GPS and
GLONASS being better today.
A:
The receiver should be capable

of processing sufficient signals
to provide optimum performance in
all expected use cases. This means
it should be able to support all GNSS
and augmentation systems to provide
maximum robustness to blockages
and interference. The management of
receiver resources to accomplish that
is highly dynamic on individual epochs
and should be invisible to the user in
consumer-grade devices. Optimizing
tradeoff between performance, power
and cost is where the secret sauce lies.

A:
Two constellations give reliable,

fast cold start even after long
overseas flights. There is room for improvement in challenging conditions, so
application of three constellations is the
saturation point. Choose the best combination in different parts of the globe.
In Russia that should be GLONASS + 2,
in China BeiDou + 2, in Europe Galileo
plus two, GPS + QZSS + another one in
Japan, and so on. Navigation chipmakers should support all operating satnav
systems to offer the best combination,
taking into account battery drain.

alileo satellites 11 and

12 lifted off together on
Dec. 17 atop a Soyuz
rocket, and successfully
deployed in space four
hours later. The pair effectively doubles
the number of Galileo satellites in space
over the last nine months.
Five satellites are now set operational
to the user. Once 9 and 10 (launched in
Sept. 2015) as well as 11 and 12 are set
operational, a total of nine usable satellites will be in orbit. Satellites 5 and 6
may be partially usable at some point.
Along with the ground stations put
in place around the globe, this brings
Galileos completion within reach, said
Jan Woerner, director general of the
European Space Agency.
Production, testing and launch of
the remaining satellites are now proceeding on a steady basis according to
plan, added Didier Faivre, ESAs director of Galileo and navigation-related
activities.
Starting with launches in the third
quarter of 2016, four rather than two satellites at a time will rise into orbit. This
accelerated deployment should bring
30 satellites on line 24 operational
and six orbit spares by 2020 for full
operational capability of the European
GNSS. Initial operating capability is
foreseen by the end of 2016.
The target is initial service next
year, with a reduced constellation, for
the Open Service, Public Regulated
Service and Search-and-Rescue, said
Carlo des Dorides, executive director
of the European GNSS Agency (GSA).

the GSA announced in September the
provision of 100 million euros ($110
million) to promote development
of chipsets and receivers. Slated for

funds are to stimulate market reception
for Galileo. The announcement followed

New Joint Venture to Ensure,

Assure Secure PNT
he founders of Chronos and

UrsaNav have formed a new
collaboration, named Taviga,
that will focus on preserving
and establishing low-frequency (LF)
positioning, navigation and timing
(PNT) networks in the United Kingdom,
Europe and the United States, using
repurposed Loran-C or purpose-built
eLoran technology.
Taviga aims to ensure timing and
navigation for critical infrastructure,
protecting it from cyber and other
threats, and addressing the concern that
over-dependence on single systems for
PNT increases vulnerability.
According to a joint press release,
Taviga combines the founders decades
of experience specializing in lowfrequency (LF) PNT technology and
industrial timing applications at national
and international levels. Its objective is to
provide a commercially operated assured
LF PNT service.
Partner with Government. Charles
Curry of Chronos Technology Ltd. in
the UK and Charles Schue of UrsaNav
Inc. in the United States joined forces
to launch Taviga Ltd. and Taviga
LLC. Taviga anticipates working in
partnership with government agencies
and other entities that have a vested
interest in reducing the vulnerability
and improving the resilience of
critical national infrastructure with
a dependency on the GPS and other
GNSS sources of PNT.
We have been researching the
precise timing capability of eLoran
transmissions for over 10 years, Curry
said. During that time, the system has
never failed, and most impressively it has
continued to deliver sub-microsecond

time accuracy traceable to UTC in very

challenging locations, including deep
inside buildings.
Our research program was supported
by the UKs Innovation Agency
Innovate UK through two flagship
projects, GAARDIAN and SENTINEL,
Curry continued. These two projects
highlighted the vulnerabilities that
threaten GPS signals (and in the future,
Galileo) such as jamming, interference
and spoofing. They also demonstrated
how eLoran is a technically dissimilar
source of PNT and not vulnerable to
the same types of interference. eLoran
is a truly complementary source of PNT,
ideal for use in critical infrastructure
applications such as telecoms,
broadcasting, financial services and
power utilities.
Every government, academic and
industrial study has resulted in the
selection of the LF technology known
as Enhanced Loran, or eLoran, as the
best wide-area complement to GNSS,
UrsaNavs Schue added. There is no
doubt that the combination of GNSS and
eLoran provides the PNT resilience that
most users require.
WWW.GPSWORLD.COM
JANUARY 2016
Integrated GNSS-eLoran solutions

can provide the proof-of-time and
proof-of-position necessary to safeguard
national infrastructure and for business
continuity of operations, Schue said.
Adding eLoran to the PNT mix enables
or enhances capabilities of regional and
purpose-built solutions. Overreliance
on a single solution is neither prudent
nor safe.
Tests led by Chronos and using
UrsaNavs eLoran receiver engine have
consistently demonstrated positioning
accuracies of better than 10 m and timing
accuracies of less than 100nanoseconds
in the area of differential eLoran reference
sites.
Tavigas goal is the long-term operation
of an eLoran system for at least 10 years, a
period that provides the necessary service
assurance continuity to enable industrial
users to invest with confidence in an
eLoran-based timing and navigation
service that complements their GNSS
solutions. As users become accustomed
to the capabilities and resilience of a
combined GNSS-eLoran solution, Taviga
expects to expand the service footprint
worldwide.

Leap Second Lives on Drone Rules, Registry
he International Telecommunication Union

(ITU) World Radiocommunication Conference
(WRC-15) decided that further studies are
required on the impact and application of
a future reference time-scale, including the
modification of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and
suppressing the so-called leap second.
Leap seconds are added periodically to adjust to
irregularities in the Earths rotation in relation to UTC, the
current reference for measuring time, in order to remain
close to mean solar time (UT1). A leap second was added
most recently on June 30 at 23:59:60 UTC. The proposal
to suppress the leap second would have made continuous
reference timescale available for all modern electronic
navigation and computerized systems to operate while
eliminating the need for specialized ad hoc time systems.
A report will be considered by the World Radiocommunication

he Federal Aviation Administration announced in

December an official rule and registration process
for hobbyists who own small unmanned aircraft
weighing more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55
pounds, including payloads such as on-board cameras.
The online registration system does not yet support registration of small UAS used for any purpose other than hobby
or recreation for example, using an unmanned aircraft in
connection with a business. The FAA is developing enhancements that will allow such online registrations by spring of
2016.
The registration procedure is a statutory requirement that
applies to all hobby aircraft. Under this rule, any owner of a
small UAS who has previously operated an unmanned aircraft
exclusively as a model aircraft prior to Dec. 21, 2015, must
register no later than Feb. 19, 2016. Owners of any other UAS

The WPD-based technique is characterized by a higher computational
complexity with respect to the implementation of notch filtering. This is
mainly caused by the several filtering

carefully traded off with the jamming

RECEIVER SURVEY 2016

A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Finding the
Right Receiver
BY Jason Hamilton
n the 2014 GNSS Receiver Survey,

I wrote a column on Beyond
Receiver Specifications. That
material still holds true, and is
available on our website; see the
link at the end of this column. Heres
a recap of those previously discussed
criteria:
Absolute vs relative accuracy
Heading and orientation
determination
Interference robustness
Antenna selection
Ease of Integration
JASON HAMILTION, vice president,

marketing at NovAtel.
NEW TOPICS FOR 2016

A GNSS receiver can be a big
investment, not just in the cost of
the device itself, but in the effort you
will expend to integrate the product
into your system. Make an informed
decision by following a structured
process for choosing your receiver.
Start by assessing your requirements.
What absolute accuracy,
relative position, velocity, time
and orientation do you need to
achieve?
What reliability do you need?
At what confidence level?
Check the spec carefully.
What regions are you
operating in and are there any
legal or trade requirements
to support specific
constellations?
What is your level of
S2 G P S W O R L D
WWW.GPSWORLD.COM
JANUARY 2016
expertise? Do you need a

highly configurable device or a
device that is plug-and-play?
Do you want a device at a chip
level, receiver board level or
enclosed product level?
What are the constraints of
your application? What is
the relative importance of
performance, size, weight,
cost and power consumption?
DO YOUR RESEARCH
Not all devices are suitable for
all applications. Investigate what
options exist in the market this
survey is a good starting point. All
receivers in the survey can calculate
position to a few meters of accuracy.
If your application demands more
than that, you will have more
evaluation to do.
The supplier website is a good
place to start to assess a products
features in more detail such as supported interfaces and constellations.
Product sheets found on the site
will give performance specifications. User manuals, if available,
will let you assess how configurable
a product is and how easy it will be
to integrate.
Read white papers or application
profiles, such as the customer stories
found in NovAtels Velocity magazine
posted in the Tech Talk section of
our website, for insight into how
others have successfully evaluated
and integrated products or solutions
Ask for an on-site demo of the product or if the

manufacturer has equipment available for you to
perform your own evaluation.
similar to your own. A website should

also give more information about
receiver features like positioning
techniques, multipath mitigation
technology, interference mitigation
techniques and correction sources to
help make your purchase decision.
If your search involves a GNSS/
INS system, the site should clearly
outline the differences in achievable
performance between the suppliers
IMU options.
Something of increasing importance is the receivers ability to adapt
to the environment in real time.
Change in multipath conditions,
satellite availability, correction availability and interference sources all
impact the performance of the receiver. Suppliers are increasingly
including features that seamlessly
manage changes in positioning
mode, correction streams and satellite geometry without requiring the
user to intervene with the system.
If you dont see the performance
metric youre interested in, or a
specific product feature is unclear
to you, call the manufacturer and
inquire. Often this information is
available, just not on the product
sheet or website. This gives you
a great chance to test out the
knowledge and responsiveness of
the suppliers customer service or
sales team. Explain your application,
environment and performance
targets and have the supplier explain
the benefit of different features, how
they work and if they apply to your

application.
TRY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

A specification is as good as the
paper its written on until it is proven.
Once you have narrowed down your
choices, make sure the claims are
backed up in real life. Evaluate the
product for yourself. Ask for an
on-site demo of the product or if
the manufacturer has equipment
available for you to perform your
own evaluation.
Get the equipment running in
your environment as closely as you
can to your real-world operational
conditions. Evaluate it. Is the product
easy to integrate? Is it easy to operate
in the field? Can it be configured
how you need it? Is the product
documentation clear, complete and
accurate? Does it run reliably and
does it deliver the performance you
need? These questions are hard to
answer until you get the product in
your hands. This step is invaluable.
This step also gives you the ability
to test out the companys customer
support. Call or email them if you
have any integration problems and
evaluate how well they do at getting
you up and running.
with. Are the people approachable?

Is the company long-established
and reliable? Is there a threat of the
supplier competing with you in your
application? Is this a company you
are excited to partner with in your
project or product?
Use your own experience through
product evaluation as a guide and
also ask for references and even ask
around in your network. What kind
of experience have others had in
dealing with the company?
WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS.

MAKE A CHOICE
When all your homework is done, its
time to commit. Deciding between
the plethora of options out there
can be daunting, especially if the
performance is similar. Choose
the partner who you feel can not
only deliver the performance you
are looking for, but also will fit with
the culture of your company and will
offer the kind of communication
channels you need to best help
execute your business objectives.
RESEARCH THE COMPANY

Once you have evaluated the product
and narrowed your selections, take
the opportunity to evaluate the company you are about to do business

Prime Meridian on the Move

Pre-GPS Techniques Actually Responsible for the Greenwich Shift
BY Stephen Malys, John H. Seago , Nikolaos K. Pavlis, P. Kenneth Seidelmann and George H. Kaplan
he historical prime
meridian runs through
a telescope established in
1851 by Sir George Airy
at the Royal Observatory
at Greenwich, England. It was adopted
as an international standard as the
prime meridian for zero longitude in
1884 during the International Meridian
Conference held in Washington, D.C.
The observatorys line in the pavement is a major tourist attraction, but
the prime meridian used by satellite
navigation systems is located 102
meters east of that historic location
(see FIGURE 1).
Some people mistakenly thought
that GPS, or the earlier Navy Navigation Satellite System (Transit), was responsible for this offset. But research,
recently published in the Journal of
Geodesy, concludes that the zero longitude used by GPS arrived at its current
FIGURE 1 The Airy Meridian (dotted line) and the ITRF and WGS 84 zero meridian (solid line).
(Imagery: Google Maps, Infoterra Ltd and Bluesky)
location in 1984, before GPS existed as

an operational system.
The orientation of the World Geodetic
System 1984 (WGS 84), and therefore
the direction of the prime meridian
associated with WGS 84, was established
when the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency
(now part of the National GeospatialIntelligence Agency) adopted the
Figure 2 Geometry showing why the Greenwich meridian moved.

orientation of an international scientific

standard known as BTS 84, the BIH
Terrestrial System 1984.
The Bureau International de
lHeure (BIH) was a predecessor to
the International Earth Rotation and
Reference Systems Service (IERS).
Unlike previous terrestrial systems of
reference used by the BIH, the BTS 84
was not established by tracking stars
with optical telescopes.
BTS 84. BTS 84 was created using
geodetic techniques known as satellite
laser ranging, lunar laser ranging and
very long baseline interferometry. While
satellite Doppler tracking (Transit)
data was included in the BIH process,
this data type did not contribute to or
constrain the orientation of BTS 84.
When an optical instrument is
leveled, even to the highest accuracy
achievable, its orientation is controlled
by the gravity fields vertical direction at
that particular location.
The astronomical zenith, or up
direction realized by a telescope, is perpendicular to the gravity equipotential
(level) surface locally, and therefore is
in general deflected from the geodetic
MARKET WATCH
SURVEY
zenith that is perpendicular to our bestfitting global ellipsoid model of the

Earth due to small irregularities of the
gravity field (hence the term deflection
of the vertical, DoV).
As a consequence, the astronomical
meridian plane at an arbitrary location
on the Earth does not necessarily
contain the center of mass of the Earth
(FIGURE 2).
Astronomical Time. When optical
systems were finally retired from Earthorientation service by the BIH in 1984,
the BIH continued the measurement
series for Earths rotation by modern
geodetic techniques, but required
continuity in the determinations.
These measurements included those
for astronomical time, UT1.
Requiring continuity in UT1 was
equivalent to requiring that the plane of

the prime meridian keep its orientation,
relative to the celestial sphere, as a
function of time. But now for the first
time there was also a requirement
to pass this plane through the center
of mass of the Earth.That requirement,
along with the DoV at Greenwich,
moved the trace of the prime meridian
on the Earths surface in the vicinity of
Greenwich by 102 meters to the east of
Airys telescope (Figure 2).
Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Thanks to satellite-tracking techniques,
we now know the location of the center
of mass of the Earth with an accuracy
of about 1 centimeter in three dimensions about the size of a U.S. dime.
In 1984, its location was known with
an accuracy of about 1 meter. When
Airy set up his special telescope (called

a transit circle), knowledge of the size,
shape and center of mass of the Earth
was limited to several hundred meters.
The trace of the historical astronomical prime meridian established by Airys
instrument, and the location of zero
longitude indicated by GPS receivers, are both consistent with their own
conventions, and their offset from each
other does not imply an error in either
determination.

D Services is expanding its services to offer underwater 3D laser
scanning in addition to standard
3D laser scanning and aerial surveying.
This new service is designed for
underwater inspections. Previously,
sonar technology was the main solution
for underwater inspections, modeling
and measurements. However, sonar
does not provide the level of detail
necessary for many underwater
projects, the Connecticut-based
company said.
3D Services is able to provide highresolution scans and accurate 3D models
of underwater structures or topography.
It can instantaneously and repeatedly
capture accurate data points within
less than 1 mm and with a resolution
of .01 mm. The high detail provides the

FIGURE 1 Temperature compensation and signal processing structure.
temperature range (40 to +85 C) for pseudorange

(code) positioning. However, high-accuracy carrier-phase
positioning techniques require uninterrupted carrierphase tracking, producing more challenging requirements
for the receivers oscillator.
Here, we extend that research to demonstrate the
feasibility of using a TSMO for carrier-phase positioning.
BACKGROUND
The MEMS resonator used here has an approximately
150 ppm frequency drift over the temperature range
of 40 to +85 C, which is about three to five times
greater compared to a standard crystal. The integrated
temperature sensor provides very good thermal coupling
with the resonator, enabling accurate frequency estimation
once the frequency versus temperature function (FT
polynomial) is estimated.
This FT polynomial can be estimated by periodically
measuring the frequency and temperature at different
temperatures, and fitting the FT polynomial to the
measurements. After this calibration stage, the oscillator
frequency error can be estimated using the temperature
measurement and the polynomial only. This frequency
error can aid the GNSS receiver for acquiring and tracking
signals.
As the temperature measurements are affected by
noise which is also amplified by the FT polynomial,
producing frequency noise in the receiver the
temperature measurements can be filtered accordingly
to reduce noise.
METHODOLOGY
Temperature compensation of the oscillator frequency can
be beneficial in scenarios with fast changes in temperature
(and therefore fast changes in frequency) or when
operating the oscillator at extreme temperatures, where
temperature sensitivity is more pronounced. The TSMO
implements an onchip integrated temperature sensor

in close proximity to the resonator and provides an
accurate estimate of its temperature. We first examine
more complex and non-real-time capable filters to assess
performance improvement and limits of bandwidth
reduction.
For the second part of this research, where the TSMO
based GNSS receivers measurements are used for RTK
positioning, none of the conditions requiring temperature
compensation (fast changes or extreme temperatures)
are met, and therefore temperature compensation was
not applied.
Temperature Measurements Filtering. When temperature
compensation is applied, filtering of the chip-integrated
temperature sensor measurements is performed to reduce
measurement noise introduced by the temperature
measurement circuit. As the signal frequency and phase
from the satellite can under negligible ionospheric
scintillation conditions be assumed significantly
more accurate and stable than the local oscillators
carrier replica, common errors in the received signals
carrier frequencies can predominantly be accredited to
the local oscillator. Therefore, under the condition of a
defined tracking loop, estimated frequency accuracy and
phase tracking stability are suitable measures of the local
oscillators short-term frequency and phase stability, as
well as the influence of the temperature compensation.
The temperature compensation method is being
digitally applied to the digitized IF signal as a first
stage in the software receiver (FIGURE 1). For generating
this signal, a filtered version of the raw temperature
measurements is generated and a function (temperature
compensation or FT polynomial) to convert those
temperature measurements to local oscillator frequency
estimates is applied.
The digitized IF samples of the received signal as
well as the frequency estimates from the temperature
measurements are then processed by the GSNRx software
GNSS receiver developed at the University of Calgary.

the receivers clock-drift estimates are extracted and
analyzed, and compared to the results from other filter
implementations.
The temperature filters are designed as a combination
of variable length finite impulse response (FIR) filters
and 1-tap inifinite impulse response (IIR) filters, as this
design yields a reasonable trade-off between high stopband attenuation, small group delay, low complexity
and high filter stability. Although feasible in hardware
implementations, multi-rate filtering approaches were
not investigated.
The filters used are summarized in TABLE 1, where filters
#1 and #2 were used in our previous research. In the table,
BC denotes a box-car FIR filter implementation, and BW
refers to an approximated brick-wall filter (truncated
sinc in time domain). Although the order of the filter is
higher, all feedback coefficients (an) other than the first a1
are zero for stability reasons. The stated bandwidth is the
3dB bandwidth of the filter, (fwd/bwd) indicates forward
and backward filtering, and GDC indicates group delay
compensation.
Carrier-phase positioning. It is well known that carrierphase measurements can deliver much higher accuracy
positions than pseudorange measurements. The challenge
for MEMS oscillators is to mitigate the phase noise of
the resonator, and any noise resulting from temperature
compensation, to allow continuous phase tracking. Failure
to do this will result in more cycle slips, which in turn will
limit the benefits of using carrier-phase measurements
(since the navigation filter will have to more frequently
re-estimate the carrier-phase ambiguities).
TESTING
The static data set collected in our earlier research
was reused for this work. The data was collected from
a static rooftop antenna, while the TSMO was placed
inside a temperature chamber, which was performing
a temperature cycle from +85 to 30 C and back up
to +60 C. The temperature compensation polynomial
(Figure 1) was fit using the clock drift estimate from
running the software receiver with the same data set
without any temperature compensation. The temperature
filters in Table 1 were then applied to the raw temperature
measurements, and processed with the same software
receiver as in our earlier work, allowing for direct
comparison of the results.
Carrier-phase positioning. To mitigate effects from orbit
and atmospheric errors, first a zero-baseline test was
carried out on a rooftop antenna on the CCIT building
at the University of Calgary. Two identical IF sampling

front-ends with a sampling rate of 10 MHz were used for

each of the tests, one utilizing a built-in TCXO and the
other using the external MEMS oscillator clock signal.
A commercial GNSS receiver was used as a static base
for this setup. The TSMO and TCXO based front-ends
were used as a rover, all connected to the same antenna.
For all tests, only GPS L1 C/A signals were used by the
devices under test.
Second, a short-baseline test utilizing two antennas
about 2.5 m apart was carried out, with the same
equipment. For reference, surveyed coordinates of the
antennas base mounts were used. For these two tests, the
front-ends and oscillators were at constant temperature
(to within variation of room temperature) on a desk.
Third, two road tests in a car driving around Springbank
airport close to Calgary were performed. One test involved
smooth driving only, and the second test was performed
by rough driving over uneven roads so that higher
accelerations on the oscillators were provoked. To allow a
performance comparison between the TCXO and TSMO
based receivers, the two front-ends were used as rover
receivers at the same time and were connected to the same
geodetic-grade antenna mounted on the vehicles roof.
Equipment and processing. All samples from the IFsampling front-ends were processed with the University
of Calgarys GSNRx software GNSS receiver to obtain
code and carrier phase as well as Doppler measurements.
These measurements were subsequently processed with
the University of Calgarys PLANSoft GNSS differential
real-time kinematic (RTK) software to obtain a carrierphase navigation solution.
As a reference, a commercial GNSS/INS system using a
tactical-grade IMU was used. The dual-frequency, multiGNSS, carrier-phase post-processing of the reference
data provided a reference position of better than 1 cm
estimated standard deviation in all three axes, which is
in the following referred to as truth.
The kinematic tests were carried out with the PLAN
groups test vehicle, a GMC Acadia SUV-style vehicle. A
/
geodetic-grade antenna was mounted in close vicinity
to the LCI tactical-grade IMU as shown in FIGURE 2. The
antenna was split to a reference receiver and the two IFsampling front-ends. The front-ends were rigidly mounted
to each other as well as to the TSMO board to ensure
similar accelerations on both oscillators. The front-ends
were placed in the center of the passenger cabin.
The kinematic tests were performed near the
Springbank airport close to Calgary, Alberta. For a base
station, a commercial dual-frequency receiver was set
up on an Alberta Survey Control Marker with surveyed
coordinates. A leveled antenna was used with this receiver,
and 20 Hz GPS and GLONASS raw measurements were
collected to provide a base for both the reference receiver
and the receivers under test.
FIGURE 3 Cumulative histogram of PLI with temperature

compensation.
RESULTS
First, we compared results from improved temperature
filtering to results from our earlier work. The performance
of temperature measurement filtering is quantified with
regard to frequency accuracy (mainly arising from filter
group delay) and phase-lock indicator values of the
tracked signals, which are mainly deteriorated from noise
introduced by temperature compensation.
The best performance with regard to PLI (FIGURE 3) was
achieved using the forward-backward 1-tap IIR filter (#4
in Table 1). While the estimation error introduced by this
low-bandwidth and high group delay filter was significant
especially at fast temperature changes before and after
the temperature turnaround point at 2067 s into the run
(FIGURES 4 AND 5), the forward-backward filtering cancels a
major part of that delay. Note that this filter has even lower
bandwidth (Table 1) than the same filter used in forwardonly filtering, as the resulting magnitude response squares
with the forward-backward filtering approach.
Only a slight performance decrease can be seen when
using a boxcar filter with 2048 taps, but only when
compensating for the FIR parts known group delay of
approximately 1 s. It is noted that filters #4 and #6
which show best performance are only usable in postprocessing or with significant latency.
In contrast to group-delay compensated filters,
which might not be applicable in low-latency, real-time
applications, the even lower bandwidth 1-tap IIR filter
although introducing a still significant group delay
resulted in best tracking performance amongst the
filters, which are not compensated for any group delay.
This filters performance is surprisingly followed by the
low-complexity 1-tap IIR filter (#3) ahead of the filters
implementing the boxcar (#5) or brickwall (#7) filter

blocks. The reasoning for this lower performance

given the results of the equal coefficients but group delay
compensated filter (#6) performance can be found in
the higher delay of the measurements compared to the
group delay compensated filter. The difference between
boxcar and brickwall filter was found to be negligible
with this data set.
In general, the receiver was able to provide very good
carrier-phase tracking using all of the proposed filters.
The satellite signals were tracked with a PLI of better than
0.86 between 98 to 99.8 percent of the time, depending on
the implemented filter; this corresponds to approximately
30 degrees phase error or 2 cm ranging error at the L1
frequency.

Short baseline test. Both receivers correctly fixed the
ambiguities within 150 s, kept the ambiguities fixed until
the end of the data set, and computed the correct position
with an estimated accuracy of better than 1 cm in each axis.
The position estimate error is comparable between the two
receivers, and slightly higher than in the zero-baseline test
because multipath errors are no longer removed. FIGURE 6
shows the position estimates errors for both receivers. No
significant systematic errors are evident in the position
errors from these tests. The slowly varying error in height
is typical for multipath signals.
The double-differenced phase residuals are slightly
higher for both receivers than in the zero-baseline test
(not shown), but follow the same trend for both receivers
and are therefore accredited to the signals or processing
software rather than to the oscillator.
The phase-lock indicator values for all satellites are
visualized in a cumulative histogram in FIGURE 7. Because the
TSMO based receivers PLI values are on average slightly
smaller than for the TCXO based receiver, higher noise
is expected in those measurements. Nevertheless, in the
processed data sets, this has no significant effect on the
estimated position.
KINEMATIC TESTS
The first test was performed on paved rural roads. Any
road unevenness was avoided where possible, or driven
over fairly slowly where unavoidable. The test started with
an approximate 150 s static time to assure initial fixing of
the ambiguities, and continued with driving in open-sky
and occasional foliage environment.
As visualized in FIGURE 8, both receivers were able to fix
the ambiguities correctly within roughly 30 s. During
the test, both receivers fell back to partially fixed or float
ambiguities. The TCXO based receiver computes a partially
fixed solution between 650 s and 1200 s, as apparent from
the position errors in Figure 8. In the same interval, the
TSMO based receiver computes a float-only solution.
Bumpy Driving. The second test route was chosen
to include several locations of road unevenness and a
slightly elevated bridge (bump) over a small stream, which
was driven over at five different speeds, ranging from
approximately 20 to 74 km/h.
Both receivers were able to compute a sub-meter accurate
position during the entire test. While the TCXO based
receiver was able to compute a fixed ambiguity position
with centimeter-level accuracy during the majority of
the test, the TSMO based receiver was able to fix the
ambiguities at significantly fewer epochs and reverted to
a float ambiguity most of the time, decreasing positioning

accuracy to the decimeter-level. From FIGURES 9 AND 10 the

times of higher acceleration (>5 m/s) when driving over
the bridge (between 260 and 490 s into the test) correlate
well with the times of reduced number of fixed ambiguities,
and therefore times where the navigation engine is reverting
to a float ambiguity carrier-phase solution.
At approximately 562 s into the test, the vehicle hit a
larger puddle on the dirt road resulting in high vertical
acceleration (> 1g). Despite this high acceleration, the
TCXO based receiver stayed in fixed ambiguity resolution
mode, and the TSMO based receiver continued in partially
fixed ambiguity solution mode.
At 875 s into the test, the car passed underneath two
separated two-lane highway bridges, which led to a loss of
all signals on all receivers, including the reference receiver.
Both receivers reacquired the signals after the underpass
and fixed the ambiguities again after approximately 100 s.
CONCLUSION
Temperature-measurement filter implementations were
presented that outperform the previous low-complexity
implementations, but at the cost of higher computational
requirements, more latency or even real-time capability
because of the more complex design or non-causal filtering
approach. Using the proposed filtering approach, the eight
strongest satellites were tracked in phase-lock tracking state

Furthermore, we showed the performance of traditional
double-differenced carrier-phase positioning using a
receiver with a temperature-sensing MEMS oscillator.
Static and kinematic tests were performed, and the
operation of an otherwise identical TCXO based receiver
at the same time allowed to compare the oscillators
performance in several environments as well as their
sensitivity to accelerations. Carrier-phase positioning with
TSMO based GNSS receivers was possible with accuracies
better than typically required for automotive applications.

Uber Deal Expands Autonomous Strategy

BY Kevin Dennehy
CO NTRI BUTI NG EDITO R FO R LOC ATI O N-BA S ED S ERV ICE S
ber is becoming a big player in the location industry

with its announcement in November that it will use
TomToms maps and traffic data for its ride-hailing
service. The deals financial terms were not disclosed.
While Uber unsuccessfully made a $3 billion bid for
Nokias mapping business, it did acquire Microsofts mapping technology and the key personnel that came with it.
The San Francisco-based company, currently operating in
300 cities worldwide, also acquired veteran location industry
deCarta earlier this year.
The mapping data will be key in Ubers strategy to be a
major force in autonomous vehicle development. To research driverless cars, Uber has leased a 53,000-square-foot
facility in Pittsburgh.
FIRST MARKET SEGMENT

The question is, what market segment will be first for major
autonomous vehicle rollout? At least one executive believes
such technology companies as Uber have the advantage.
Because the continued success of [Ubers] business depends on it, and they have the money to spend on it to gain
a competitive advantage, explained Scott Frank, Airbiquity
vice president of marketing. If ride share companies can
reduce the variability and expense of physical drivers, they
can reduce the cost of their services even while improving
their margins and compete more effectively for market
share versus private ride services, like taxis/limousines and
public transportation, which is more limiting in terms of
availability and comfort.
Frank says his company sees the market differently than
others when it comes to autonomous vehicle development
and rollout. Google has been clear since the beginning about
their automotive end goal, which takes a very long-range
view produce fully autonomous vehicles connected to
public infrastructure with everything connected by Android
and enabled by Google computing, data management, service delivery and advertising capability, he said.
Apple and Teslas ambitions are more short-term, in that
they want to produce electric vehicles that are better than
what the traditional automakers are able to churn out,
Frank said.
Uber is a recent entry into the fray, so its a bit premature
to put them in the build a vehicle platform class, although
its becoming evident that they are very interested in developing underlying technologies that autonomous cars will

certainly rely on, he said. In the last couple of months,

weve seen public statements from large traditional automakers referencing their autonomous vehicle ambitions, so
they are definitely going to step up and not simply concede
the autonomous opportunity to Google or any another
automotive industry newcomers.
Frank believes there are distinct areas in the United
States where autonomous vehicle rollouts make sense.
[Companies are looking at] transportation pain points that
autonomous will solve, like urban traffic and lack of easy
and affordable parking, public transportation infrastructure
that can more easily accommodate the necessary changes
to integrate and support autonomous, and metro sizes
that arent so large that it would impossible or too costly
to get anything done, he said. So cities like Portland,
Minneapolis, Austin, Raleigh and [such areas as] Silicon
Valley come to mind, to name just a few.
EARNING PUBLIC TRUST

Either way, autonomous vehicles will present huge societal
and business changes and such questions as will the public
trust the new technology to get them where they need to go,
safely and reliably, Frank said. As with all new technologies there will be an adoption curve at play here with early
adaptors taking the lead ahead of the mainstream, he said.
We saw the same thing with horseless carriages, by the way.
People placed more trust in their horses before they began
to understand and allow themselves to realize the benefits
of motorized transportation.
In other autonomous vehicle news, Ford said it was ramping up its driverless car efforts by being the first automaker
to test its self-driving cars at Mcity, a 32-acre prototype town
with private roads in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Trimbles Beijing Airport

Construction Contract Extended
rimble has received a contract extension for

Beijings New Airport Project, expected to be
the world's largest airport when completed at an
estimated cost of $13.1 billion.
In April, Trimble won the initial bid to supply the project
with a construction information management system. Based
on the success of the solution to date, the contract has been
extended to include additional machine-control systems
for soil stabilization.
Beijings new airport, scheduled to open in late 2018, is
being built to handle 72 million travelers, 2 million tons of
shipping and 620,000 flights by the year 2025. The massive
construction project has received an unprecedented level of
investment from the Chinese government for civil aviation.
Construction of the airport began on Dec. 26, 2014. The
Beijing New Airport Project is using construction technology from Trimble to integrate construction and operations.
The goal is to construct the airport in a safer and more
efficient manner, achieve transparent management, and
maximize construction quality.
Trimble was chosen to implement a browser-based, locally hosted digital construction information management
system for tracking and monitoring construction operations
in real time. The Trimble solution allows users to create 3D
constructible models, perform soil stabilization, automate
construction processes and effectively manage information.
Based on successful soil stabilization results using Trimble
machine control over the past four months, another 15
systems have been ordered.

he single-frequency precise point positioning (SFPPP) method, developed at Delft University of

Technology, was previously demonstrated to provide
lane-level position accuracy on a freeway in postprocessing mode. Important applications of SF-PPP are lanelevel traffic state estimation and lane-level specific driver advice
for next-generation car navigation. For a functional system, as
well as for advanced experiments in this field, the computed
positions have to be available in real time. Therefore, a new
real-time implementation of the SF-PPP method was developed
as part of the Dutch Dynamic Lane Guidance project. In this
article, we outline aspects of the real-time implementation, and
we present experimental results from this new implementation
collected on a busy freeway in the Netherlands and in a parking
lot, as well as results from a railway experiment.
In these experiments, a test vehicle was equipped with a
low-end, automotive-type single-frequency receiver with a
patch antenna to collect raw GPS observations. A 3G mobile
communications link was used to obtain data-correction
streams over the Internet using the Ntrip protocol. The SF-PPP
processing was performed on a laptop computer onboard the
vehicle, in real time. Various forms of ground-truth positions
were used to assess the real-time SF-PPP positioning accuracy.
For some of our tests, the vehicle was also equipped with highend GPS antennas and receivers to provide ground truth. The
position solutions obtained with the SF-PPP algorithm have
been compared to (post-processed) network-RTK solutions
using the Netherlands Positioning Service (NETPOS). Additional validation was performed by means of a 5-centimeteraccuracy road-infrastructure map from Rijkswaterstaat, the
Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, and
by a centimeter-level a priori ground survey.
The new real-time SF-PPP software was tested successfully
with performance comparable to our previous post-processing
software, and meeting the required accuracy for freeway lane
identification. Statistics on the performance are provided, as
well as their dependence on a number of external parameters
including the number of available satellites.
Precise corrections from both the German Aerospace Center
(Deutsches Zentrum fr Luft- und Raumfahrt or DLR) and
the International GNSS Service (IGS) were used. Delays in the
correction streams vary between providers and can increase

further in the event of a time-out of the mobile link. The influence of these delays is considered, and an optimal approach
for dealing with outages is discussed.
PPP MODEL AND CORRECTIONS

The GNSS positioning model is non-linear. The observations
are non-linear functions of the unknown parameters plus noise.
To solve for the unknown parameters (including the receiver
position coordinates), through least squares estimation, the
model must be linearized around an approximate solution.
In our SF-PPP model, the primary observations are, from
each satellite, the pseudorange measurement and the carrierphase measurement. The unknown parameters are the receiver
position vector and the receiver clock offset, both of which are
involved in the linearization, and also the ambiguity, associated
with the carrier-phase measurement, for which the model is
already linear.
In the context of PPP, it is important to note that in addition
to the linearization around the initial approximate values, the
computed observations contain a number of a priori model
values for parameters which are not estimated, including:
The precise satellite position and clock offset (including
the relativistic effect): The GPS satellite positions and clock
offsets are computed from the broadcast products (navigation message) and corrected with real-time data streams via
Ntrip. The correction streams of DLR and IGS were used at
different times as detailed in TABLE 1. In post-processing older
files, the satellite orbits and clocks are taken from sp3 files,
but to keep the processing as close as possible to the real-
time functionality, these are first converted to corrections

to the broadcast products.
The (neutral) troposphere delay: The troposphere delay is
modeled with the a priori Saastamoinen model using the
Ifadis mapping function and parameters from the 1976 U.S.
Standard Atmosphere.
The ionosphere delay and satellite differential code bias: The
ionosphere delay is computed a priori using the one-day
predicted Global Ionosphere Maps (GIMs) from the Center
for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), together with
the corresponding differential code biases.
The carrier-phase observations are corrected for the phase
wind-up at the receiver and satellite. The user orientation
is estimated from the vehicle velocity vector.
Besides the primary observations, the ambiguity estimate
from the previous epoch can be added to the current epoch as
an additional observation per satellite, because it is assumed
to be constant in the absence of a cycle slip.
Observations from different epochs are assumed to be
uncorrelated, and consequently the ambiguity estimates from
previous epochs are uncorrelated to the current observations.
Observations to different satellites are also assumed to be
uncorrelated.
The carrier-phase ambiguities are the only parameters propagated from a previous epoch to the current epoch. The receiver
position coordinates (and receiver clock offset) are estimated
each epoch anew no vehicle dynamics model is involved.
The computed positions are finally corrected for solid Earth
tides with an efficient numerical model. Computed positions
result in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF)
2008 at the epoch of the observations.
In parallel with the positioning filter, statistical hypothesis
testing is used to detect errors in the observations or
propagated ambiguities (such as those caused by excessive
multipath or a cycle slip), based on the detection, identification
and adaptation (DIA) procedure. First, an overall model test
is run at each epoch to test the validity of the model and
observations. If the test is rejected, data snooping is applied
to determine which observation is most likely to have caused
the problem. If one of the pseudorange measurements is
identified, it is removed from the model. If either a carrierphase measurement or ambiguity is identified, the ambiguity
for that satellite is reset; that is, the propagated ambiguity is
removed.
EXPERIMENTS
Four field tests that we have carried out are considered here.
In October 2012, more than 100 laps were driven over

INNOVATION
INSIGHTS RICHARD B. LANGLEY
BY
ITS GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME. This refrain from the
Beatles song could well describe precise point positioning or PPP.
PPP is a positioning technique that relies on GNSS carrier-phase
measurements (in addition to code or pseudorange measurements)
from a users receiver along with satellite orbit and clock data much
more precise (and accurate) than that included in broadcast satellite
navigation messages to achieve accuracies down to the centimeter
level. It also requires a more sophisticated model of the measurements compared to that used in most consumer GNSS equipment
and even some professional devices, including accounting for residual tropospheric propagation delay, carrier-phase windup, and
even solid Earth tides.
PPP has been around for more than a decade and ongoing research has gradually improved its capabilities. Until recently, it has
been used primarily with dual-frequency GPS observables. However, the technique is not restricted to GPS. It works equally well
with observables from other constellations including GLONASS,
Galileo and BeiDou. As long as precise orbit and clock products
are available (typically from the International GNSS Service or its
participating analysis centers), then PPP positioning solutions are
possible. And, single-frequency PPP is also possible. The primary
advantage of dual-frequency PPP is that the ionospheric propagation delay is almost completely removed by linearly combining the
measurements on the two frequencies, taking advantage of the
dispersive nature of signal propagation through the ionosphere.
But, if good predictions of the ionospheric delay at, say, the L1 GPS
frequency are available, then it is possible to do single-frequency
PPP. While not as accurate as dual-frequency PPP, the technique is
considerably more accurate than typical pseudorange point positioning (the so-called Standard Positioning Service).
PPP is also traditionally a post-processing technique. That is,
data is collected but it is not processed until some later convenient
time when the necessary precise products are available. Such an
approach is useful for many applications but clearly not for navigation, which requires real-time positioning. But in the past few years,
a number of commercial and non-commercial entities have started
streaming real-time satellite orbit and clock corrections over the
Internet and various radio links, making real-time PPP a reality.
In this months Innovation column, we bring together, perhaps
for the first time, single-frequency and real-time PPP. Our authors
describe a series of experiments they have conducted on roadways
and a railway achieving sub-meter horizontal positioning at a 95
percent confidence interval. Such accuracies may already be sufficient for freeway lane and railway track guidance. But we might
expect even better accuracies in the future. After all, PPP is getting
better all the time.

more than 200 kilometers.
Details of the four field tests are collected in Table 1.
GROUND TRUTH
In our earlier experiments, the ground truth for the vehicle
positions was computed with measurements from high-end
equipment onboard the same vehicle. Both the antenna of
the SF-PPP receiver and the high-end antennas were rigidly
connected to a wooden beam on the roof rack of the van
(positions of the two high-end antennas at both ends of the
beam were obtained through network RTK GPS). As our
results from this experiment show, the performance, and
especially the precision, is very good, but a moderate bias
of 17 centimeters in the cross-track direction was observed
(see FIGURE 1 and TABLE 2). The suspect cause of this bias was
the antenna location, close to the side of the vehicle and not
attached to the metal roof itself.
Therefore, during more recent experiments, the test
vehicle was only equipped with a patch antenna for the lowend, automotive-type GPS receiver, and attached directly
to the roof of the car, in the middle of the centerline of the
vehicle. In this case, the metal roof acts as a ground plane for
the antenna, improving the gain and not acting as a source
of multipath. However, this setup also has complications
for the accuracy assessment. Thus, instead of computing
accurate ground truth from the measurements from highend equipment directly near the test receiver, a number of

other ways were used to determine the ground truth.

During the first real-time test on the A13 freeway,
a 5-centimeter accurate road infrastructure map from
Rijkswaterstaat was used as previously mentioned. This
comparison was done both visually and numerically.
For our next experiment, we selected a recently constructed
parking lot with a simple, neat rectangular layout. By surveying
the corners of the rectangle and using the repetitive pattern,
a schematic drawing of the parking lot was made, and used
to evaluate the positioning performance in a visual manner.
The car was first driven over the lined-up parking spaces in a
lengthwise manner, circling round at each end of the parking
lot, and changing lanes once each lap at the same point. Then
the car was driven along the edges of the rows of parking
spaces to and fro over the parking lot.
SF-PPP positions were obtained live in the vehicle while
driving. The raw (single-frequency) observations of this experiment were also post-processed with the RTKLib software
package using the nearby permanent DLF1 station at the
TU Delft GNSS observatory on a very short baseline (less
than 1 kilometer). The ambiguity-fixed results could then
be used to also numerically assess the SF-PPP positioning
performance.
For the test on the train, again the network RTK GPS
solution provided the ground truth positions. Two antennas
were mounted along the centerline of the carriage at a fixed
offset from each other: a patch antenna for the singlefrequency receiver and a geodetic antenna for the ground
truth. With this known offset, and the direction of motion,
the ground truth position for the single-frequency receiver
was obtained.
The ground-truth positions, either in the European Terrestrial Reference System (ETRS) 89 (from NETPOS or our
own survey) or in the local national reference frame Rijksdriehoeksmeting (National Triangulation System) / Normaal
Amsterdams Peil (Amsterdam Ordnance Datum) or RD/NAP,
have been transformed into ITRF2008, to allow for comparison
with the SF-PPP positions.

COMPUTATIONAL PERFORMANCE, DATA RATES

The real-time software was used under the 64-bit Windows
8.1 operating system on a moderately fast laptop with i54200U CPU running at 1.60 GHz. The software consists of
uncompiled Matlab R2014b scripts and functions using timer
objects to repeatedly read in new observations, corrections
and ephemerides, and to update the position computation.
The software can run with data arriving at about 20 Hz in the
current state on this platform, but was used with 5-Hz data
because of limitations of the receiver to provide raw data and
to prevent any overrun. It should be noted that only a few
obvious potential computational bottlenecks were targeted;
the software was not optimized for efficiency.
The RT SF-PPP implementation relies on a 3G mobile Internet connection for a number of data products. The ionosphere
map, which is a predicted product (24 hours ahead), comes as a
200-kilobyte file (and 5 kilobytes for the associated differential
code biases), which covers the globe and is valid for 24 hours.
The file contains 13 maps at 2-hour intervals, between which
interpolation in time is required.
Spatial interpolation is also required for the ionosphere
pierce point of each satellite signal, between the grid points in
the map (at intervals of 5 degrees in longitude and 2.5 degrees
in latitude). The satellite orbit/position corrections (every 60
seconds) and satellite clock corrections (every 10 seconds) are
retrieved over the Internet using the Ntrip protocol by means
of the Bundesamt fr Kartographie und Geodsie (BKG) Ntrip
Client (BNC), which passes these on to Matlab.
The data-rate used by this correction stream is about 1 kilobit per second. The corrections are applied to the broadcast
ephemerides (in quasi-Keplerian-element form), which are
therefore also required. These satellite ephemerides can be
extracted by the GPS receiver itself (from the GPS navigation
message), but in our implementation are also collected via
Ntrip for convenience only, with a bandwidth consumption
of 6 kilobits per second. Note that, much like the software
implementation itself, the data stream has not been optimized
for any particular bandwidth limitation. For instance, orbit
and clock corrections are needed only for those satellites in
view, and hence transmitting the data for all satellites of the
constellation is not needed.
RESULTS
In this section, we present the results of our tests, followed in
the next section with a discussion of important common factors
affecting accuracy and continuity of RT SF-PPP.
Road-Test A13 Freeway (100 Laps). Under different conditions,
we collected a large amount of data with a van, driving repeatedly the same 5-kilometer stretch of road on the A13 freeway
from Rotterdam to Delft. The test amounted to almost a full
day of driving.
2D histograms of the results are shown in Figure 1 with
corresponding statistics in TABLE 2. Note a small bias in the
cross-track direction. The total number of position solutions
was 2.0 105.
Road-Test A13 Freeway (Real Time). The results of the real-time
freeway road test are shown in FIGURE 2. The different lanes used
by the vehicle are clearly visible in the figure. The number of
GPS satellites is indicated by the color bar. Shown is the DelftZuid / TU Delft exit of the A13 freeway, roughly a 300 300
meter area, taken from the Digitaal Topografisch Bestand
(DTB) of Rijkswaterstaat. Note that only the cross-track performance can be assessed in this manner, but fortunately this
is exactly the performance aspect that is most interesting for
the target application of lane identification. Note also that if the
vehicle was not driving exactly in the middle of the lane, which
to some extent is unavoidable, this effect cannot be separated
from the positioning errors.
The 95-percent error southbound and northbound is 0.65
meters and 0.58 meters respectively, in the cross-track direction.

(more than 60 times in total), and the purple lines show the

on the order of 0.2 meters, and consist of a bias in each of the

three directions and a periodic signal with a period equal to the
lap-time (confirmed by the driving direction of the vehicle).
Since the bias does not depend on the orientation of the vehicle,
and given the slow variation over time, the most likely cause is a
residual ionosphere error or errors in the satellite products. The
repeating pattern, on the other hand, is most probably related
to multipath or near-field effects related to the vehicle antenna.
Rail-Test Amersfoort to Simpelveld. The train carriage with the
GPS antennas installed was pulled by a 1955-built diesel-electric
locomotive. A trip of more than 200 kilometers was made, over
the main Intercity Network of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS)
/ ProRail (Dutch Railways). Only the last 20 kilometers were
on a local line to a historic railway station.
The overhead power line (about 1 meter above the GPS
antennas) and portals seem to have no impact on the SF-PPP
positioning performance. An example of the positioning accuracy is shown in FIGURE 5. The figure shows position error scatter
for an almost 20-kilometer stretch of nearly straight east-west
track through rural and forest areas (Weert to Roermond). The
time span of the data is 10 minutes, and the data rate was 5 Hz.
SF-PPP positions were compared with NETPOS network RTK
GPS solutions. Generally, eight satellites were received and used
in the SF-PPP solution. The corresponding error statistics are
presented in TABLE 3.
A heavy steel-construction bridge along the route at the
River Lek near Culemborg, 15 kilometers south of Utrecht,
was found to degrade positioning performance considerably.
The heavy steel construction of the bridge hampers reception of GPS satellite signals. The positioning performance
on the bridge is shown in FIGURE 6. The computed SF-PPP
trajectory overlaid on a Google Earth aerial photograph is
shown on the left.
From the positions, one can clearly see the train driving
straight on the right-hand track (going south) on the ramp
onto the bridge, and on the ramp down from the bridge.

However, on the bridge itself, position solutions show

considerably larger variations of up to 8 meters. The image
shows a 250-meter stretch of the track. Also, the number of
satellites available, and used in the position solution, drops
considerably (indicated by the color bar) while the train
is on the bridge. On the right of the figure at the top, the
SF-PPP positions in local east-north coordinates are shown
along with a straight line between the first and last epochs,

clock errors grow to the decimeter level. The position errors

remain even smaller.
However, one might wonder whether this can be improved
further by performing a linear extrapolation of the corrections, for example, using a number of previous epochs. We
looked at what would happen in this case if 5 minutes of
previous data are used. For the clock errors, there is no real
benefit the errors only grow larger. But the position errors
do remain smaller during the first 5 minutes of extrapolation. After that time, the errors are larger than those without
the linear extrapolation (just holding onto the last corrections). The effect of increasing the order of the polynomial
extrapolation was also considered. The polynomials of different order outperform each other at different extrapolation
times, and also the number of previous epochs used for the
polynomial estimation impacts this. Further optimization
to reduce the satellite position errors might well be possible,
but may be of marginal value, since, the extrapolated clock
error is dominant and polynomial extrapolation does not
improve this. Simply using the most recent corrections is
thus a straightforward and acceptable approach.
ANALYSIS
CONCLUSIONS
Two factors significantly affect the performance of our tests:

the number of satellites available and the continuity and
latency of the corrections.
Number of Satellites. As can be expected, the SF-PPP position accuracy depends to a large extent on the number of
satellites used to compute the solution. For the third test, the
road-test in the 3M parking lot, the three-dimensional position error (SF-PPP versus RTK GPS) is shown as a boxplot
in FIGURE 7 in which various accuracy measures are plotted
as a function of the number of satellites for the second and
longest dynamic part of the test (lane change 2), consisting
of about 12,000 epochs of data. During this session, the
available number of satellites varied between 10 and 12. This
number was reduced artificially by increasing the elevation
mask angle to 15 and to 30 degrees. The red lines show the
medians, the boxes show the 25th and 75th percentiles, the
dashed lines cover all data points not considered outliers, and
outliers are plotted with red plus signs. The graph shows a
clear improvement going from six to seven or more satellites.
PPP Correction-Stream Outages. To determine the optimal
approach to an interruption in the correction data stream, we
studied the variation of the corrections over time. Suppose
we lose reception of the correction stream at epoch 0, and we
keep using the last-received corrections (simply hold onto
them). Then the change in values can be interpreted as the
additional error introduced in the positioning algorithm by
the outage on the mobile link. The effect is not catastrophic.
Only after about 200 seconds do the additional satellite
In this article, we outlined a real-time implementation

of single-frequency GPS precise point positioning. With
a fairly low-cost GPS receiver and reception of a modest
correction data stream, it is possible to achieve sub-meter
horizontal positioning accuracy, in real-time, live in the
vehicle (95-percent error of better than 1 meter). Actual
results were shown from four field tests: two tests using a
vehicle on a freeway, a vehicle test in a parking lot, and one
test on a train.
The number of satellites used in the position solution has a
big effect on the positioning performance; seven or more satellites yields a good position accuracy. And up to 5 minutes outage
of the satellite position and clock corrections does not seem
to pose a serious threat to SF-PPP positioning performance.
