Abstract:Focusing on performance of GPS+BDS+GLONASS single-frequency RTK in complex urban areas, GNSS were observed at one reference station and seven rover stations in HongKong. The LAMBDA method and R-ratio test were used for ambiguity resolution. The positioning performances of seven single-frequency RTK choices (GPS alone, GLONASS alone, BDS alone, GPS+GLONASS, GPS+BDS, BDS+GLONASS, and GPS+BDS+GLONASS) were evaluated in complex urban environments. The results show that:1) Positioning precisions for single frequency RTK are able to reach centimeters level under good observation conditions. The best performance is obtained from the single-frequency RTK by using GPS+GLONASS+BDS compared with the other choices, followed by dual-systems, and worst for single-system. 2) Under relatively inferior observation conditions, some single-system single-frequency RTK can hardly implement positioning successfully. Generally, the positioning accuracy of dual-system is higher than single-systems. The positioning accuracy of GLONAS+BDS is the worst among all dual-systems. But single-system and dual-system are not capable of positioning at high precision level. 3) Positioning accuracy of multiple system single-frequency RTK reaches centimeter level and would be widely used in urban navigation of high accuracy. 4) Positioning accuracy of seven GNSS mode is obviously correlated positively with observation conditions.
