SmartRTK: Präzise Positionsdaten und mobile Geodatenerfassung mit Low-Cost-GNSS - eine Prototypenentwicklung für hochalpine Einsätze / SmartRTK: Precise Positioning and Geospatial Data Acquisition with Low Cost GNSS - A Prototype Development for High Alpine Operations

For surveying tasks to document glacier levels and to evaluate the mass balance, measurement data with centimeter accuracy is required. With the RTK (Real Time Kinematic) − capable low cost GNSS in use, measurements in the required accuracy range are possible. The combination of userfriendly software and low cost GNSS hardware is an ideal basis to develop a “SmartRTK” prototype for the requirements of high alpine working areas. “SmartRTK” is a compact, robust and lightweight receiver-antenna unit that can transmit the RTK position to the smartphone.
