Here we propose an approach of tight integration of GPS and accelerometer measurements. The baseline shifts of the accelerometer are introduced as unknown parameters and estimated by a random walk process in the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solution. To demonstrate the performance of the new strategy, we carried out several experiments using collocated GPS and accelerometer. The experimental results show that the baseline shifts of the accelerometer are automatically corrected, and high precision coseismic information of strong ground motion can be obtained in real-time. Additionally, the convergence and precision of the PPP is improved by the combined solution.}, language = {en} } @article{TuGeZhangetal.2013, author = {Tu, Rui and Ge, Maorong and Zhang, Hongping and Huang, Guanwen}, title = {The realization and convergence analysis of combined PPP based on raw observation}, series = {Advances in space research}, volume = {52}, journal = {Advances in space research}, number = {1}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0273-1177}, doi = {10.1016/j.asr.2013.03.005}, pages = {211 -- 221}, year = {2013}, abstract = {In order to speed up Precise Point Positioning (PPP)'s convergence, a combined PPP method with GPS and GLONASS which is based on using raw observations is proposed, and the positioning results and convergence time have been compared with that of single system. The ionospheric delays and receiver's Differential Code Bias (DCB) corrections are estimated as unknown parameters in this method. The numerical results show that the combined PPP has not caused significant impacts on the final solutions, but it greatly improved Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) and convergence speed and enhanced the reliability of the solution. Meanwhile, the convergence speed is greatly influenced by the receiver's DCB, positioning results in horizontal which are better than 10 cm can be realized within 10 min. In addition, the ionosphere and DCB products can be provided with high precision.}, language = {en} }
