3.4.8. GNSS surveying techniques

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is static surveying?

   Hint

   Think about why long measurement times are beneficial.

2. 2.

   Name one advantage of rapid static surveying.

   Hint

   Consider how this method saves time.

3. 3.

   What does static surveying primarily focus on?

   • Speed of data collection
   • High accuracy measurements
   • Flexibility of positioning

   Hint

   Remember the relation between time spent and accuracy.

4. 4.

   True or False: Rapid static surveying takes longer than static surveying to achieve accuracy.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about efficiency and observation time.

5. 5.

   Discuss the implications of choosing rapid static surveying over static surveying in a city environment.

   Hint

   Consider the trade-offs between speed and quality in the urban context.

6. 6.

   Explain how different terrain affects the choice of kinematic surveying techniques.

   Hint

   Think about how physical obstructions like trees or buildings affect satellite visibility.
