Deformation monitoring is used to detect movements of civilian structures or in the earth's surface. Three-dimensional dis­place­ments of up to a few millimetres can be detected by continuously determining the GNSS antenna position. Due to the advantages of the satellite-based mea­sure­ment method, GNSS sensors make a valuable contribution to geo-monitoring, either used alone or in combination with other sensors.

GNSS services are used to provide the active official spatial reference in sur­vey­ing (e.g. SAPOS) and precision agriculture. Real-time corrections are generated by software packages using measurement data from permanent GNSS reference stations. Dedicated monitoring stations and quality control applications supervise the GNSS service, continuously mon­i­tor­ing the availability and quality of the corrections and the achievable po­si­tion­ing accuracy. For these tasks, Alberding GmbH offers the A10-RTK sensor and the Alberding-QC software.

For safety-critical applications, a pre­lim­i­nary check of the effect of DGNSS or RTK corrections is required. During pre-broadcast monitoring, the GNSS cor­rec­tion data is applied to the raw data streams of monitoring stations and checked before transmission. The re­sult­ing integrity information is attached to the correction streams and transmitted to the users.

GNSS positioning is used as a basis for toll systems and safety-critical processes. The Alberding GNSS Status Software can be used by customers to check the GNSS system performance.

The Alberding telemetry and positioning systems are used autonomously to de­ter­mine the position of moving platforms and other objects (e.g. traffic signs). If these objects move outside specified zones, the sensors can notify a pre­de­fined group of people via text message or e-mail.
