Ultra-rapid products have the advantage of being used in real-time positioning with no external connections. In this study, these products provided by the international GNSS Monitoring and Assessment System (iGMAS) for four global constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BDS-3) were assessed in terms of service rate and accuracy in navigation. In this regard, a MATLAB-based in-house code solving the problem was developed for all possible combinations of the constellations. To explore the effectiveness of the iGMAS products, the same dataset has been also processed using GFZ rapid products. The results demonstrate that the GPS and Galileo solutions were substantially comparable to the rapid products concerning service rate and accuracy, but that the GLONASS and BDS-3 iGMAS products require some enhancements. In addition, the Galileo solution produced remarkably good results both individually and in combination. The GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BDS-3 SPP solution generated a mean root mean square (RMS) error of 0 ⋅ 54 m horizontally and 0 ⋅ 89 m vertically. Thus, GPS-only, GLONASS-only, Galileo-only and BDS-3-only solutions were improved by 42%, 79%, 28% and 74% in 3D mean RMS error with the quad system solutions, respectively.
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.
