To improve vehicle navigation performance, we proposed a tightly coupled GNSS PPP/INS/LiDAR (GIL) integration method, which tightly integrates the raw measurements from multi-GNSS PPP, Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)-IMU, and LiDAR to achieve high-accuracy and reliable navigation in urban environments.

The GIL method can achieve decimeter-level positioning accuracy in GNSS partly-blocked environment (i.e., the environment with GNSS signals partly-blocked) and meter-level positioning accuracy in GNSS difficult environment (i.e., the environment with GNSS hardly used). Besides, the accuracy of velocity and attitude estimation can also be enhanced with the GIL method.Xingxing LiHuidan WangShengyu LiShaoquan FengXuanbin WangJianchi LiaoSpringerOpenarticleMulti-GNSS PPPMEMS-IMULiDARTightly coupled methodGNSS-challenged environmentVehicle navigationTechnology (General)T1-995ENSatellite Navigation, Vol 2, Iss 1, Pp 1-17 (2021)
