First order design optimization of the GNSS network Mandici

The paper describes the methodology for selecting the optimal solution for the design of the geodetic GNSS network for the Mandici landslide. For the previously defined functions of the goal of precision and reliability of the geodetic network, the optimal number and arrangement of GNSS network vectors was determined applaying first order design optimization. The optimization determined the design of the geodetic GNSS network, which contains 11 base vectors between 6 points of the network, the realization which requires 6 measurement sessions, which is 4 sessions shorter than the initial design.
