Abstract
Using a e.g. said hardware processor, comparing said estimate of current GNSS quality, for each vehicle in a fleet of interest to the client, to a GNSS quality target value, and, on at least one occasion in which a vehicle in the fleet of interest to the client is found to differ unacceptably from the GNSS quality target value, commanding an actuator to take at least one corrective measure, thereby to yield GNSS quality monitoring functionality.
Claims11
A system for improving GNSS-based functioning of platforms, the system including:
- a hardware processor which provides, to a client, an estimate of current GNSS quality at a location occupied by a given platform, by, at least once, computing increasing functions of distances between GNSS-based estimated locations of the given platform, and locations estimated independently of the GNSS, for said given platform;
- and
- a hardware processor which compares said estimate of current GNSS quality, for each vehicle in a fleet of interest to the client, to a GNSS quality target value, and, on at least one occasion in which a vehicle in the fleet of interest to the client is found to differ unacceptably from the GNSS quality target value, commands an actuator to take at least one corrective measure,
- thereby to yield GNSS quality monitoring functionality.
A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for improving GNSS-based functioning of platforms, the method including:
- Using a hardware processor to provide, to a client, an estimate of current GNSS quality at a location occupied by a given platform, by, at least once, computing increasing functions of distances between GNSS-based estimated locations of the given platform, and locations estimated independently of the GNSS, for said given platform;
- and
- Using a hardware processor, comparing said estimate of current GNSS quality, for each vehicle in a fleet of interest to the client, to a GNSS quality target value, and, on at least one occasion in which a vehicle in the fleet of interest to the client is found to differ unacceptably from the GNSS quality target value, commanding an actuator to take at least one corrective measure,
- thereby to yield GNSS quality monitoring functionality.
