  • Split vertical advanced receiver autonomous integrity monitoring
    Patent number: 11555930
    Abstract: A method comprises computing position information from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS); computing an altitude measurement based on retrieved information from a vertical position sensor; determining a vertical protection level (VPL) associated with the position information; splitting the VPL into an upward VPL component and a downward VPL component; determining a vertical alert limit (VAL) associated with the altitude measurement; and splitting the VAL into an upward VAL component and a downward VAL component. The method optimizes an integrity budget allocation between the upward and downward VPL components. The method then recomputes the upward and downward VPL components given the optimized integrity budget allocation.

  • Handling of ARAIM terrain database induced errors
    Patent number: 11321563
    Abstract: Systems and methods for handling ARAIM terrain database induced errors are described herein. In certain embodiments, a method includes computing position information from a global navigation satellite system. The method further includes computing altitude based on retrieved information from a vertical position sensor and a terrain database. Additionally, the method includes computing a horizontal protection level associated with the position information. Also, the method includes estimating an error for a terrain database based on the altitude, position information, and the horizontal protection level. Moreover, the method includes calculating a new protection level based on the position information and the altitude accounting for the estimated error for the terrain database.
