Base Mapping and Geomatic Services Branch (BMGS) maintains
the Capital Regional District’s (CRD) Real Time Kinematic
(RTK) Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). The
DGPS service provides users with the ability to survey
and layout points, accurate to a few centimeters. The reliability
of the correction data stream (RTK signal) is a key concern
for this service to be beneficial. Currently there is no
automated monitoring of the DGPS service.
BMGS can monitor the RTK signal of the DGPS manually.
This method has proved to be inefficient. The Systems Personnel
at BMGS and the CRD require a system where the monitoring
is automated.
The Real Time Kinematics Monitoring system (RTK-MON) proposed
by BMGS is to monitor the availability of the RTK signal
transmitted by the DGPS system. The purpose of this project
is to implement the RTK-MON system.
The main deliverable of the RTK-MON is going to be a real
time monitoring system that will notify an administrator
of the DGPS system if the correction data is not available.
The Capstone team will develop the RTK-MON system at Camosun
College. BMGS and the CRD will provide the necessary equipment
for implementing and testing of the RTK-MON system.
