With a view to the next generation of Real Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning systems, this paper highlights the limitations imposed on current RTK systems operating in the urban canyon using GPS visibility trials conducted in the urban canyon of the Perth Central Business District (CBD). Furthermore, following the recent release of receivers capable of integrating the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian equivalent, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), the advantages of integration of both GPS and GLONASS systems are demonstrated using GLONASS visibility simulations at selected points in the Perth CBD.","PeriodicalId":222452,"journal":{"name":"The Australian Surveyor","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127894421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As with all comparative analyses, including benchmarking, obtaining useable data is critical. This paper presents the results of a project to compare the performance of cadastral systems internationally, undertaken over the last two years by Commission 7, International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) (which is responsible for cadastre and land management matters within the FIG). The paper is primarily concerned with presenting data based on appropriate performance indicators and does not attempt to draw conclusions from the data. The Commission believes the results of this project will be useful to other countries wishing to improve their own cadastral systems. In addition the project has identified the very real difficulties in developing appropriate performance indicators for cadastral systems because of differences in the interpretation of cadastral def...","PeriodicalId":222452,"journal":{"name":"The Australian Surveyor","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115151904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
