GNSS CORS calibration and testing

Martin, David

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has established itself as a predominant technique in modern surveying. However, today no generally accepted standard exists to establish traceability in GNSS measurements. This poses a number of statutory problems. These problems relate GNSS measurements made in Real Time Kinematic (RTK) mode and Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) to legal obligations in survey. This paper reviews aspects of traceability in measurement and discusses points that should be considered when attempting to establish traceability in GNSS field measurements.
