Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to navigational systems and, more particularly, to a method, apparatus, system, and computer software program product for determining position integrity in a navigational system having a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) component.
A method is provided for determining position integrity in a system having a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) component, such as, for example, a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. For successive alarm limits, with each alarm limit corresponding to a position integrity level, it is determined whether valid position integrity information is available. At the alarm limit at which valid position integrity information is first available, a corresponding position integrity level is determined. If no valid position integrity information is available for any of the alarm limits, a default position integrity level is then designated. An associated apparatus, system, and computer software program product are also provided. |
