In this paper, non ranging-based cooperative positioning algorithms based on GNSS measurements, including Absolute Position Differencing (APD), Single-Differencing (SD), and Double-Differencing (DD), are used to estimate the intervehicle distance (IVD). To reduce the uncertainty of IVD estimates, the maximum volume algorithm (MVA) was employed to determine the optimal geometric group composition of four satellites as a multi-GNSS system, namely GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. Real-world experiments on two autonomous vehicles using SD-based and DD-based algorithms demonstrate that estimated IVD uncertainty is sub-centimetres, which is close to sensor-based solutions but at a lower cost.
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.
