The Use of GPS Database in Control Networks

Abstract

Working with GPS, a large amount of data is often produced. In complex works, like the control networks, where many stations are involved, measurements are repeated more and more in time, and post-processing is performed with different softwares and/or options, in order to optimize the solutions; it is therefore very important to carefully archive all data, avoiding any possible mix-up. In practice, this is often not a simple job.

In present work, some general concepts are illustrated, which have to be followed archiving GPS data. Some typical problems are examined, referring to practical examples.
