Design a set of documented procedures for Quality Management of GPS
surveying within an organisation.
What quality control tests can be applied to a network solution output?
Construct a list of items to be checked when examining a baseline
solution log file.
Describe what is meant be "detectability" as it relates
to GPS baseline errors. Give examples of some errors, and their level of
"detectability".
Discuss the usefulness of loop closure tests. What can and can't be
concluded about GPS errors?
Compare and contrast the accuracy standards for U.S. and Australian
surveys.
Describe the difference between GPS "standards" and GPS
"specifications". Give some examples.
Describe how the GPS "accuracy standards" are applied to
determine the quality of a GPS network.
Discuss the difference between assigning a "class" and an
"order" to a GPS survey.
Discuss the requirements for station reoccupation as set out in the
Australian Standards & Specifications.
What are the guidelines in the Australian S&S with regards to the
use of "modern GPS surveying" techniques ("rapid static",
"stop &
go", etc.) for GPS networks? Give some examples of how you could
combine different GPS techniques within a hypothetical GPS control survey.
