1 Implications of a next generation datum in Australia on mining operations: A discussion. School of Civil & Environmental Engineering Craig Roberts Senior lecturer Surveying and Geospatial Engineering group Japan-Australia Australian Institute Workshop of Mining on Surveyors, Joint QZSS Annual Projects, conference, Sydney, Australia, Sydney July August Who s heard of the GDA2020? 1

3 Who s heard of the ITRF? International Terrestrial Reference Frame The$Interna*onal$Terrestrial$ Reference$Frame$(ITRF)$ 6" Courtesy Joel Haasdyk 3

4 International Terrestrial Reference Frame Four main geodetic techniques are used to compute accurate coordinates: GPS, VLBI, SLR, and DORIS. Since the tracking network equipped with the instruments of those techniques is evolving and the period of data available increases with time, the ITRF is constantly being updated. 11 realizations of the ITRS were set up from The latest is the ITRF2008. All these realizations include station positions and velocities. Who s heard of the IGS? International GNSS Service 4

5 IGS network: a subset of ITRF International GNSS Service (IGS) 5

6 International GNSS Service The IGS collects, archives, and distributes GPS and GLONASS observation data sets of sufficient accuracy to meet the objectives of a wide range of scientific and engineering applications and studies. These data sets are analyzed and combined to form the IGS products. Glonass orbits IGS Tracking stations coordinates Velocities? 6

7 We all know GDA94 Can get coordinates from SCIMS (NSW) Geocentric Datum of Australia GDA94! The Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA) is the new Australian coordinate system, replacing the Australian Geodetic Datum (AGD). GDA is part of a global coordinate reference frame and is directly compatible with GPS.! It is based on the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 1992 (ITRF92) held fixed at 1 January 1994 hence the name GDA94.! The 8 points used to define the GDA94 are known as the Australian Fiducial Network (AFN). The adopted coordinates of the AFN were computed in terms of the ITRF and from these AFN coordinates the geodetic network that covers the whole continent was recomputed. Courtesy Geoscience Australia 7

8 Australian Fiducial Network (AFN) Australian National Network (ANN) consists of 78 stations at an approx 500km spacing ( ). GDA94 Gazetted coordinates of the AFN 8

13 AUSPOS V2.0 uses the Auscope network giving 20mm positions with one hour of date. Coordinates given in ITRF, GDA and MGA. AUSPOS output 13

14 Ever used PPP? Precise point positioning 14

16 Trimble CentrePoint RTX Combines NRTK and PPP (Precise Point Positioning). Released in Worldwide system: Sparse global CORS network: All Trimble receivers: Same make. Same model. Same firmware. Same antennas. Same setup/install. Services delivered by: Satellite communications (via OmniSTAR). Mobile communications (worldwide). <4 cm HZ (95% CI) positioning worldwide. Example output from Trimble s RTX 16

17 What about WGS84? World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) Z-Axis = The direction of the IERS Reference Pole (IRP), corresponds to the direction of the BIH Conventional Terrestrial Pole CTP (epoch ) with an uncertainty of X-Axis = Intersection of the IERS Reference Meridian (IRM) and the plane passing through the origin and normal to the Z-axis. The IRM is coincident with the BIH Zero Meridian (epoch ) with an uncertainty of WGS84 coordinates move with ITRF 17

New mass market or niche positioning services may or may not offer MGA coordinates! Surveyors must know from which datum and epoch their solutions derive metadata.! Dawson/Woods parameters cater for stable plate movements. They do not account for intra-plate deformations. 18
