Abstract

This paper presents the static and kinematic positioning accuracy by the real-time GPS positioning modes of the low-cost GPS receivers using NTRIP-based augmentation service. For this, acquires both the raw measurements data of the field tests by LEA 6T GPS module of u-blox AG, and correction communication via NTRIP caster with RTKLIB as an open source program for GNSS solution. With computing the positions of the check points and road tracks by six kinds of GPS positioning modes which are Single, SBAS, DGPS, PPP, RTK, and TCP/IP_RTK, compared these results to the reference position of the check points. The position error average and rmse of the static test by GPS L1 RTK surveying showed $N=0.002m{\pm}0.001m$, $E=0.004m{\pm}0.001m$ in horizontal plane, and $h=-0.116m{\pm}0.003m$ in vertical, these results are very closed to the coordinates with the geodetic receiver. Especially, in case of the kinematic test with obstacles located on both sides of road, the computed track with ambiguity fixing showed very similar trajectory considerably from VRS network RTK mode. And also, evaluate and verify the performance of the TCP/IP_RTK mode developed based on TCP/IP protocol.

본 연구는 NTRIP 기반 보정서비스를 활용한 저가 GPS 수신기의 실시간 측량방법별 정적 및 동적 측위 정확도를 제시한 내용이다. 이를 위해 u-blox사의 LEA 6T GPS 수신 자료와 GNSS 상시관측소의 보정 정보를 NTRIP 캐스터를 매개로 RTKNAVI 공개용 GNSS 해석 툴에 실시간 연계하여 6가지 측량방법(Single, SBAS, DGPS, PPP, RTK, TCP/IP_RTK)으로 위치 정확도를 비교하였다. 정적 실험모형의 적용결과, GPS L1 RTK 측량의 위치오차 평균 및 표준편차는 $N=0.002m{\pm}0.001m$, $E=0.004m{\pm}0.001m$, $h=-0.116m{\pm}0.003m$로서 정밀상대측위 좌표에 근접한 성과를 구현할 수 있었다. 특히, 동적 실험모형에서도 도로 주변 장애물의 영향은 있지만, 모호정수가 고정된 구간의 경우, VRS Network RTK 측량 궤적에 근접한 주행궤적을 보였다. 또한, TCP/IP_RTK 측량용 기준국을 구성하고 정적측량의 활용성을 검토하였다.
