Abstract

The Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is influenced by environmental factors, making analysis in the installation region important. This study has proposed the sigma inflation of the B-value considering the satellite elevation angle and analyzed the Vertical Protection Level (VPL) of the H1 hypothesis. After collecting data that meet the environmental conditions of the installation region, sigma expansion coefficients by the unit of satellite elevation angle ($5^{\circ}$) have been estimated. The obtained results were functionalized through curve-fitting, and sigma inflation customized for the environmental conditions of the test region was proposed. Then, the characteristics were classified and analyzed depending on humidity and solar activities. According to the sigma inflation with respect to elevation angle analysis, changes in the size of sigma inflation factors by the difference of humidity were minor. However, the VPL under the satellite elevation angle-based sigma inflation met integrity. Also, considering the sigma inflation factor with respect to elevation angle, compared to existing methods, high-integrity and improved availability is confirmed by removing unnecessary margins in high elevation angle satellite.

지역기반 위성항법보강시스템 (GBAS : Ground Based Augmentation System)은 환경적인 요인에 많은 영향을 받기 때문에 설치 운영될 지역의 환경 요인 분석이 중요하다. 본 연구는 위성 앙각을 고려한 B-Value의 시그마 팽창을 제안하여 대립가설의 VPL (Vertical Protection Level) 성능을 분석하였다. 또한 해당지역의 환경조건을 만족하는 데이터를 수집하여 위성앙각 $5^{\circ}$ 간격의 시그마 팽창계수를 산출하였다. 산출된 결과는 위성앙각에 따라 커브피팅을 통해 함수화하여, 실험지역의 환경조건 (태양활동, 습윤 지연)에 알맞은 시그마 팽창을 제안하였다. 위성 앙각에 따른 시그마 팽창계수 분석결과 습윤 지연에 의한 영향은 미미했으나, 태양활동에 의한 영향은 태양활동이 활발할수록 시그마 팽창계수가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 위성 앙각을 고려한 시그마 팽창 계수의 적용으로, 기존 방법 대비 무결성 뿐만 아니라 고앙각 위성에서의 불필요한 마진 제거가 가능하여 가용성이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
