Many applications, including connected and autonomous vehicles, would benefit from navigation technologies reliably achieving sub-meter position accuracy. Differentially corrected single frequency Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are a suitable low cost solution. Differential corrections delivered to a roving vehicle on a nationwide scale will be subject to latency between their time-of-applicability and their time-ofreception at the vehicle. The main contribution of this article is a study of the effect of this communication latency on the position estimation accuracy. An additional contribution of this article is a comparison, using identical measurements and corrections, of the position estimation accuracy as a function of the estimation algorithm. Special attention is given to the accommodation of non-common mode errors. The article specifically focuses on the probability of achieving sub-meter accuracy with latencies up to 600 seconds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
