We present a new Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) positioning approach that utilizes low-rate Virtual Reference Station (VRS) data to achieve high-rate displacement monitoring. The method integrates tightly the VRS technology with asynchronous Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) method to overcome the limitation of VRS in high-rate structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. When this approach is used, no local reference...

Efficient use of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) observations improves when applying rational satellite selection algorithms. By combining the Sherman–Morrison formula and singular value decomposition, a smaller-GDOP (geometric dilution of precision)-value method is proven for an increasing number of visible satellites. By combining this smaller-GDOP-value method with the maximum-volume-tetrahedron method, a new rapi...
