Recent Advances of Structures Monitoring and Evaluation Using GPS-Time Series Monitoring Systems: A Review

Abstract

This paper presents the recent development in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) applications for monitoring the dynamic behavior of structures using the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technique. GPS monitoring systems for real-time kinematic (RTK), precise point positioning (PPP) and the sampling frequency development of GPS measurements are summarized for time series analysis. Recent proposed time series GPS monitoring systems, errors sources and mitigation, as well as system analysis and identification, are presented and discussed.
