Analysis of the TXDOT RTN and <i>OPUS-RS</i> from the Geoid Slope Validation Survey of 2011: Case Study for Texas

Abstract

As part of the Geoid Slope Validation Survey of 2011 (GSVS11), the global positioning system (GPS) was used in a variety of ways to determine the geodetic coordinates of nearly 400 passive geodetic control marks. The Texas DOT (TXDOT) real-time network (RTN) was one of the GPS positioning tools used. Both 6- and 180-s occupations were performed with the TXDOT RTN, as well as static 20-min occupations [processed using the National Geodetic Survey (NGS)
