Real-time change of Swiss reference frames with swipos GIS/GEO and RTCM Coordinate Transformation Messages

Abstract

Since 2007, RTCM Standard 10403.1 has allowed standardization and optimization of transmission of GNSS RTK corrections between reference stations and rovers by additionally providing so-called transformation messages. In 2009, a bachelors thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland analyzed whether and in which scope RTCM 10403.1 forms an alternative to the swipos-GIS/GEO real-time positioning services current method, which uses real-time FINELTRA and HTRANS.
