Canada

One of the world's largest countries covering about 9.985 millions Km2;

One of the longest shorelines in the world with 243,000 kilometres;

Estimated population in 2013 ~ 35 million User of GNSS

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)/Canadian Geodetic Survey Division (CGS) mandated obligations In 1900’s terms:

In 2000’s terms:

Property Rights

Geodetic Coordinate System

Land Use

Water Management

Flood Plains

Geology

Integrated View

“… to determine with the highest attainable accuracy the positions of points throughout the country… which may form the basis of surveys for all purposes, topographical, engineering or cadastral, and thereby assist in the survey work carried on by other departments of the Dominion Government, by Provincial Governments, and by municipalities, private persons or corporations.”1909 Order In Council creating the Geodetic Survey

“Our mission is to establish and provide the fundamental reference values used as standards for the measurement of latitude, longitude, elevation and gravity anywhere in Canada and to monitor motions of our continental landmass in support of Geosciences and Geomatics.” 2009 CGS Strategic Plan

Canada’s geographic extent, access to passive markers and their maintenance and expansion costs, limited resources, and technology opportunities are all rationales for relying on control from space.

Legacy Networks: >100,000 Horizontal monuments Poor or “no” coverage of North Outdated Vertical network

(90,000 Benchmarks)

NRCan/CGS & Ground-Based Control

of 14

NRCan/CGS & Space-Based Control

Late 80’s: Regional Active Control Systems proposed Early 90’s: Involvement in IGS for collaborative global

recovery of GNSS satellite orbits and ITRF realization Late 90’s: PPP, Zumberge, et al Early 2000’s: NRCan-PPP, Kouba & Héroux Mid 00’s: CSRS-PPP online service Late 00’s: RTIGS data fosters RT products development 2003-11: Canadian DGPS Service = Broadcast GPS-C ~ RTPPP Early 2010’s: development of RTPPP … Foreseeing the late 2010’s: integration of PPP & RTK

Canadian Public/Private Space-Based Ground Infrastructure

Public active control stations Commercial RTK networks/stations

Federal 58 Reference stations ~508

Provincial 40

Trends in Private Service Offerings

Traditionally offering RTK services Locally self-operated ( hardware sales only ) Network subscription-based ( local area service operation ) On a Business Case Basis mostly in Urban and Agriculture

Areas

Industry moving to RTPPP as complement to RTK Increased coverage and user base at lower cost Seamless operations when fully integrated with RTK Extend coverage beyond Urban Areas

NRCan/CGS’ vision and current direction

Vision: Canada-wide access to the Spatial Reference System as a

standard consistent internationally for safety, security and sovereignty…

NRCan-CGS & RTK Open public data access from sparse public national network National Guidelines and Certification

NRCan-CGS & Post-Processed PPP Product & Service provider for access to the Canadian Spatial

Reference System Support for national guidelines and certification

NRCan-CGS & Real-Time PPP: Product generator for general commercial distribution & value-

added Service provider for critical Government responsibilities Serves as National Standard, Reference for Validation,

International consistency…

NRCan-CGS’ View of Future Public Roles & Responsibilities in Canada…

…Both Private & Public Real-Time & Post-ProcessedPositioning Services will likely continue to co-exist…

Public Sector Serves Priorities and Issues of the Government Decision-Makers Authoritative & Independent Source of Positions Canada-wide National Regulations, Standards, Certification & Guidelines

Functions Targeted sustainable services in specialized areas of responsibilities

(Geosciences, Legal Boundaries + National Security, Safety & Sovereignty)

Basic product generation fostering/enabling value-added commercial services – Business Model to evolve and adapt with technology…

Private Sector Hardware production and sales Offers value-added services: more efficient and integrated

applications, products and services Innovation for Wealth and Jobs Creation
