Question

During GPS Surveying, initialization of rover receiver is required for

• A. Relative Static method
• B. Relative Kinematic method
• C. Stop and Go method
• D. Kinematic On Fly method

Hint:

Initialization of the rover receiver is essential in kinematic GPS methods to ensure accurate positioning, especially in the relative kinematic and stop-and-go methods.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, C

- Option (A): In the Relative Static method, both the base and rover receivers are stationary during the survey, and no initialization is required in the same sense as in kinematic methods. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
- Option (B): The Relative Kinematic method involves moving the rover during the survey, and initialization is crucial for determining the precise position of the rover relative to the base station. This initialization step helps in reducing errors and improving accuracy, so this statement is correct.
- Option (C): The Stop and Go method involves stopping at specific points to take measurements and requires initialization of the rover receiver before starting the survey at each stop. This initialization helps in reducing ambiguities and improving accuracy, making this statement correct as well.
- Option (D): The Kinematic On Fly method does not necessarily require initialization at each point as it uses continuous measurements from the rover receiver. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
Thus, the correct answers are (B) and (C).
