Abstract
GOKDAş, Omer and OZLUDEMIR, M. Tevfik. Effects of the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network on the accuracy, precision, and Time to Fix Ambiguity (TTFA) performance. Earth Sci. Res. J. [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.2, pp.131-138. Epub Feb 20, 2023. ISSN 1794-6190. https://doi.org/10.15446/esrj.v26n2.89819.
The geometric design of the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network is one of the most critical factors that impact accuracy, precision, and Time to Fix Ambiguity (TTFA) performance. In this study, the authors investigate the subject of geometric design by using both local ISKI CORS and national CORS-Turkey (CORS-TR) networks, and they redesign the ISKI CORS network by increasing interstation distances. For three systems, real-time Virtual Reference Station (VRS) solutions have been obtained and tested with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). As a result, the 8-station ISKI CORS provides the most accurate results in the vertical component. In contrast, for TTFA performance, the CORS-TR network shows worse outcomes than the others. Due to the increase in the interstation distances, the increase in the base length caused worse results in FIX solution ratios for redesigned ISKI CORS. In summary, the authors have stated that the 8-station ISKI CORS network performs better, especially regarding vertical accuracy. Furthermore, the authors state that the TTFA performance and FIX solution ratios are high, and the ISKI CORS geometric design is optimal.
