CRC for Spatial Information

The research will address a fundamental question that arises in multi-GNSS environments that supports ubiquitous positioning: How to best test and assess the claims of GNSS technology and service providers in an independent, scientifically robust manner?

There is significant user-community interest in this research. The outputs will include methods, algorithms, software tools, experimental results and scientifically validated conclusions. An additional output will be a pilot study that showcases the outcomes of this research as well as its potential utility. P1.04 will complement the other Program 1 Projects by providing a scientifically sound methodology to assess GNSS positioning outputs across the Program. It will also build on previous CRCSI GNSS quality control research. The Project is strategically aligned to the Australian Government’s recent announcement about a national positioning infrastructure plan which will likely address GNSS technology certification.

This research will contribute to a longer term body of work into GNSS quality control within the CRCSI, and towards the establishment of test track facilities that quantify the performance of a GNSS positioning system under variable operating conditions.

As the Project has only just been approved, more information will be coming soon to this page...
