Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

78
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

Area of Science:

  • Geospatial Science
  • Navigation Systems
  • Sensor Fusion

Background:

  • Global Positioning System (GPS) is unreliable in underground environments like coal mines.
  • Existing Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems primarily offer positioning, neglecting crucial orientation data.
  • Challenges include multipath interference, non-line-of-sight conditions, and base station placement impacting accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:
