Abstract: A system identifies degraded positional information by combining data from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Alternative Positional Sources (APS) such as inertial measurement units. GNSS sources generate both location data and associated metadata, while APS provide additional location reports. An error modeling module computes an APS error covariance correction to indicate the accuracy of APS data. A primary classifier receives GNSS and APS reports along with the covariance correction and performs a generalized likelihood ratio test to assess GNSS data degradation. Simultaneously, a secondary classifier analyzes GNSS metadata to produce an independent degradation assessment. A degradation aggregation module then validates the primary assessment using the secondary one, ultimately generating a comprehensive GNSS positional degradation report that identifies and confirms instances of degraded location accuracy.
