Application of Global Navigation Satellite System and Hydroacoustic Techniques to Safety of Inland Water Navigation
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2011, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents description of application of integrated, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and hydroacoustic technologies, for elaboration of actual bathymetric chart and creation of an Inland Interactive Underwater Objects Base (IIUOD). In the paper the description of some integrated bathymetric experiments conducted on Great Mazurian Lakes is presented. A small area of Lake Sniardwy, the largest lake in Poland, has been measured using modern technology with precise satellite positioning and hydrographic techniques. The idea and first results of the implemented base is analyzed and described. The database (IIUOD) is created for visualization of dangerous underwater objects and finally for safety of inland water navigation.
