Optimal Parameter Inflation to Enhance the Availability of Single-Frequency GBAS for Intelligent Air Transportation

Abstract

Ground-based Augmentation System (GBAS) augments Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to support the precision approach and landing of aircraft. To guarantee integrity, existing single-frequency GBAS utilizes position-domain geometry screening to eliminate potentially unsafe satellite geometries by inflating one or more broadcast GBAS parameters. However, GBAS availability can be drastically impacted in low-latitude regions where severe ionospheric conditions have been observed. Thus, we developed a novel geometry-screening algorithm in this study to improve GBAS availability in low-latitude regions. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed method can provide 5-8 percentage point availability enhancement of GBAS at Galeão airport near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, compared to existing methods.
