Combining Cors networks, automated observations and processing for network Rtk integrity analysis and deformation monitoring

Drummond, Paul

GNSS CORS networks are providing new opportunities for public and private sector business for a variety of positioning needs. This paper will explore how networks and GNSS based monitoring technology advancements are combining to open new markets for positioning technology. GNSS methods and monitoring will be explored, along with the role of the surveyor in implementing this technology. These trends include the installation of active GNSS control, automation of observations and processing, multi-observable and multiconstellation observations, and the importance of network integrity management for RTK services. This presentation will explore the combination of an existing GNSS CORS network with project specific installations used for GNSS based monitoring. Examples will be drawn from international examples of hazard management and engineering projects where GNSS based monitoring is providing new insights. Experience is showing GNSS is able to provide a new level of comparatively high resolution data, which is providing new insight for decision makers and financial planners.
