GPS is the global Navigation Satellite System which is developed by the United States Department of Defense as an abbreviation of the Global Positioning System. The GPS uses a constellation of 24 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, that enable GPS receivers to determine their location, speed, direction, and time. Following, the shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in 1983. President Ronald Reagan issued a directive making the system available free for civilian use as a common good. Since then, GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, and hobbies such as geocaching. GPS also provides a precise time reference used in many applications including scientific study of earthquakes, and synchronization of telecommunications networks.

There are many problems which takes long time and lots of work to monitor land subsidence by traditional method. These problems can be solved by GPS. Combining with the field example, this paper studies the application of GPS to monitoring land subsidence, analyses the advantages and errors of GPS survey method, and puts forth the suitable conditions of monitoring land subsidence by GPS.

Satellite visibility, Accuracy, and Availability were increased by the combined GPS/GLONASS. But, there are some problems such as differences in the time frame, differences in the coordinate datum, and the problem of solving carrier phase ambiguities in the combined carrier frequency solutions due to different GLONASS frequency. Therefore, the accuracy of single point positioning using the combined GPS/GLONASS will be assessed, and intend to study the characteristics of the combined GPS/GLONASS with considered the rate of data acquisition according to the visibility of satellite and elevation cutoff at the combined GPS/GLONASS.

This paper is about the method to improve the IDGPS system using receiver which is not aligned to GPS time. Transmitted data between server and user is constructed in PDDM of IS-801 rule. Pseudorange is overflowed in case of using receiver unaligned GPS time. And satellite position is miscalculated because earth rotating effect is not corrected. To solve this problem, when Pseudorange measurement is over the maximum range, the Pseudorange measurement is reset. And after the rough user position and transmit time is calculated, the precise Pseudorange measurement is calculated.

The plenty of availability and high precision of GPS CORS is the reason why it become important more and more in the fields of surveying widely. In this study, I extracted the arbitrary point's coordinate which is using GPS CORS data, now served in RINEX FORMAT via Inter-Net, with observation network of the existing triangulation and GPS CORS data. Then, with this arbitrary point as reference station RTK GPS was performed. And I will study VRS-GPS concept which reduces the time and cost in the fields of surveying.

Typhoon RUSA, which caused serious damage was passed over in Korea peninsula during 30 August to 1 September, 2002. We estimated tropospheric wet delay using GPS data and meteorological data during this period. Integrated Water Vapor(IWV) gives the total amount of water vapor from tropospheric wet delay and Precipitable Water Vapor(PWV) is calculated the IWV scaled by the density of water. We obtained GPS PWV at 13th GPS permanent stations(Seoul, Wonju. Seosan, Sangju, Junju, Cheongju, Taegu, Wuljin, Jinju, Daejeon, Mokpo, Sokcho, Jeju). We retrieve GPS data hourly and use Gipsy-Oasis II software and we compare PWV and precipitation. GPS observed PWV time series demonstrate that PWV is, in general, high before and during the occurrence of the typhoon RUSA, and low after the typhoon RUSA. GPS PWV peak time at each station is related to the progress of a typhoon RUSA. We got very near result as we compare GMS Satellite image with tomograph using GPS PWV and we could present practical use possibility by numerical model for weather forecast.

The Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) from GPS with high resolution in terms of time and space might reduce the limitations of the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model for easily variable phenomena, such as precipitation and cloud. We have converted to PWV from Global Positioning System (GPS) data of Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and Ministry of Maritime Affairs & Fisheries (MOMAF). First of all, we have selected the heavy rainfall case of having a predictability limitation in time and space due to small-scale motion. In order to evaluate the effect for GPS PWV, we have executed the sensitivity experiment with PWV from GPS data over Korean peninsula in the Weather Research & Forecasting 3-Dimensional Variational (WRF-3DVAR). We have also suggested the direction of further research for an improvement of the predictability of NWP model on the basis of this case.

Steel frame construction in high places entails many risk factors. In order to improve the safety and productivity of steel frame construction, a project to develop a robotic tower-crane has been undertaken. As the first step, a real-time lifting-path tracking system is being developed. In a previous study, a laser-based tracking system was proposed. While a laser-based tracking system requires at least three laser sensors to detect the x, y, z coordinates of a lifted steel member, a GPS-based system has an advantage over the laser-based system, in that the x, y, z coordinates of a lifted steel member can be detected by a single GPS sensor. To improve the accuracy, arelative positioning method using two GPS sensors was proposed in a previous study. This paper reports an improved GPS-based lifting-path tracking system of a tower crane based on an integrated RF modem and GPS system. The results showedthat the RF modem could successfully send the identifier information to a server a maximum distance of 1 km away from the lifted steel beam, and the lifting path information of each beam captured by the GPS-based tracking system was successfully saved together. Also, byusing an improved algorithm for the GPS relative positioning method, the deviation was reduced to 0.61 m on average.
