  1. InCORS INDIANA’S STATEWIDE GNSS-GPS REAL TIME NETWORK Presented by Derek Fuller, PLS Land & Aerial Survey Office

  2. Network of 45 geodetic quality GPS (GNSS) receivers and antennas, permanently installed, located across the state – INDOT & ISP sites Continuously collects GPS data Transmits thru Internet to central servers Data archived for future use, available for download by users Data processed by server software to generate network corrections-available via internet in real-time What is the InCORS Network? Indiana Continuously Operating Reference Station Network

  3. Benefits of an RTN • Accelerates the integration of GPS & GIS • Huge savings in Time, Equipment, and Personnel • = Huge Cost Savings • Networks allow mitigation of systematic errors = • By modeling atmospheric & orbital corrections • Increases Positional Accuracies • Survey grade accuracies (cm/sub-cm) provides new possibilities • for GIS data collection & applications • Complimentary technological advances provide platform for new • & exciting applications

  4. Components of theInCORS Network

  5. InCORS Components GNSS Spider Software GNSS Hardware Monumentation Installation Communication Data Links 4 main parts: GNSS Hardware GNSS Software Monumentation Communication

  6. InCORS Hardware GNSS Hardware GNSS Hardware is the key component for functionality in communication, interface with Server Software, Satellite Constellation, Receiver Clock, and Flexibility for remote communications. 1202 GG Leica Antenna GRX1200GG PRO Leica Receiver

  7. InCORS Software GNSS Spider Software • Leica SpiderNet • Modular and fully scalable • For single and multiple stations • INDOT 45 stations • Room to grow to 60 • For small and large networks • For Post-Processed and RTK Networks • For all types of GPS receivers • Leica, Trimble, Ashtech, TopCon…. • For all communication methods

  8. InCORS Monumentation Monumentation Installation • 3 Concrete Monuments - permanent • 42 Building Mounts – semi-permanent • 5 stations on ISP facilities • 34 stations have been accepted by NGS as • National CORS thus far (NGS monitored)

  9. InCORS Communication Communication Data Links Cell Phones w/ data plan MiFi Device GPS Signals GSM/GPRS Repeaters GSM/GPRS & CDMA Modems IOT Network Antenna Cellular Network Cellular Receiver End User Receiver Box INDOT Servers

  10. InCORS Network Details

  11. DOT-Owned and Managed Land & Aerial Survey Office (LASO) Utilizes state IOT Communications Network Utilizes state IOT Server Facility Free Access to Public & Private Sector Statewide Coverage Open Architecture (RTCM 2.3,3.1,CMR,CMR+) Base Station Redundancy Public use started on February 1, 2010 Currently have created over 725 accounts InCORS Network Details

  23. InCORS Network Broadcast Corrections

  24. Two types of corrections Nearest Site Automatic Cell Nearest Site Correction Single Baseline Solution CMR, CMR+, RTCM 2.3, RTCM 3.1 available PPM errors increase with rover distance from base Network software automatically selects the closest reference station to the rover based on the submitted NMEA message Automatic Cell Network Solution CMR+, RTCM 2.3, RTCM 3.1 available with MAX and iMAX Network software automatically selects the closest reference station and then uses it and next five nearest stations to model corrections Helps to minimize PPM errors due to rover distance from base Broadcast Corrections 24

  26. Automatic Cell

  27. NGS National CORS

  28. NGS National CORS Approved Sites • All 45 InCORS stations have been submitted to NGS • for approval • 34 stations accepted • Of the remaining 11 submitted stations • 6 stations given preliminary approval • 5 stations under further review due to data quality concerns

  29. NGS National CORS • Why is NGS Approval Important? • Adds stations to OPUS solutions • Rinex data is available through NGS’s User Friendly CORS • Application • http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/UFCORS/ • Rinex data available for longer duration • Process of obtaining the Rinex data easier • One location for Rinex data • Currently the NGS software only supports GPS Satellite Rinex data, in the first quarter of 2011 a software upgrade will support GNSS Satellite Rinex data • Monitoring of stations for movement
