Abstract

This paper presents the results of research into the accuracy of satellite-based positioning methods in the vicinity of operating industrial and energy facilities. Modern dual-frequency multi-system satellite receivers allow for high accuracy and productivity in compliance with the basic principles of work related to ensuring the criterion of unity of measurements and the mandatory implementation of the rules of localisation of the object and the receiver(s), as well as the study of geometric and temporal factors of satellite passage, with their subsequent application to perform quality measurements. This technique is widely and effectively used on large area and linear objects by qualified specialists in the field of geodesy. The accuracy of determinations is guaranteed by the openness of the sky and the absence of all kinds of man-made factors that potentially interfere with the reception of radio signals. This paper does not consider the extreme operation of receivers in areas of special signal suppression. It is of great interest to research the accuracy of satellite positioning methods in the vicinity of operating industrial and energy objects.
