To address the intermittent positioning and drift of personnel positioning RTK in the high-frequency signal interference environment of substations, we propose to use IMU as the positioning compensation module of RTK and adopt the joint RTK/PDR positioning method to solve the positioning results. The heading angle is easily scattered in the pedestrian heading projection (PDR) process and the heading angles calculated from the output data of the gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer after denoising are input into the complementary filter for fusion. To improve the accuracy of step estimation in the PDR process, an improved step estimation model is used. For RTK/PDR data fusion, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) method is used, which helps to achieve outdoor full-scene high-accuracy positioning. The final simulation results show that RTK can be effectively compensated by PDR under the interference of high-frequency signals, and the positioning accuracy reaches 0.02 m.
