18.12.3. Comparison of RTK vs PPK

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does RTK stand for?

   Hint

   It refers to a method of surveying.

2. 2.

   Which technique applies corrections after the flight?

   Hint

   Remember, it’s the one that processes data later.

3. 3.

   What is the primary difference in data correction between RTK and PPK?

   • Real-time for RTK
   • post-flight for PPK
   • Both are real-time
   • Post-flight for RTK
   • real-time for PPK

   Hint

   Focus on how each method processes data.

4. 4.

   Is PPK more flexible than RTK in terms of field setup?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about operational flexibility and connectivity.

5. 5.

   Assess the effectiveness of RTK in a national highway construction project, considering GPS signal limitations.

   Hint

   Look at both the pros and cons depending on PD opportunities and infrastructure.

6. 6.

   Propose a survey strategy for a utility corridor involving dense urban settings, deciding between RTK and PPK.

   Hint

   Consider signal interruption and practical implications in urban layouts.
