| Summary: | Location tracking is widely available using a GPS, or Global Positioning System, and it has
benefitted many individuals and businesses, from delivery riders to airline companies. It is
however not accurate and thus this report will be diving into a more accurate alternative way
for location tracking, Real-Time Kinematics.
Real-Time Kinematics is a highly precise system that is able to locate a position geographically
with centimetre-level accuracy. It uses the same satellites as GPS; however, it requires a base
receiver which provides correction data unlike GPS.
This report will investigate the process of obtaining location information using Real-Time
Kinematics, and the devices and components that are needed for it. It describes the
configuration of the Sparkfun RTK Express, which is a Real-Time Kinematics device that will
be used in this project.
Furthermore, it will also investigate the application of this system onto a BIMbot, extracting
the relevant data and analysing it. Finally, this report discusses the conclusion of this project
and possible future work. |
