| description | For kinematic relative positioning users between two moving platforms, limited communication bandwidth and computation ability usually cannot support real-time transmission of high-rate (≥10 Hz) BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) data. The performance of Ambiguity Resolution (AR) is also a major challenge in signal blocked and loss of lock environments. Based on BDS and Inertial Navigation System (INS) data, we develop a novel mode of INS-aided BDS kinematic relative positioning between two moving platforms, aiming to realize real-time, high-rate and precise positioning with low-cost communication modules in challenge environments. To achieve this goal, the INS-aided high-rate relative kinematic positioning and INS-aided BDS AR re-initialization methods are proposed. In this mode, the baseline bias caused by the different position datum is first defined and resolved. Then, high-rate INS data are assisted to obtain kinematic relative position when real-time kinematic positioning results are unavailable within 1 second. Once the BDS data are available, the predicted relative position is used as additional constraint to facilitate AR re-initialization and improve the kinematic positioning performance. The performance of these methods is discussed in a set of experiments with 1 Hz BDS data and 100 Hz INS data, and compared with the conventional method by sending raw BDS/INS measurements. The results show that the proposed methods can achieve an accuracy of about 5 cm for the INS-aided 100 Hz relative positioning in baseline components and lengths, which is equal to the conventional method, but the transmitted data have been sharply reduced by an average of nearly 80%. With the assistance of INS-predicted baseline constraint, the relative positioning performance has been further improved. The accuracy of baseline length errors is less than 4 cm, and the AR fixing rates keep larger than 95% during the experiment, while the wrongly fixed rates are reduced to less than 0.5%. |
