CORS Networks, Aspects of Business Models in Europe and the Region

Abstract

The paper describes the functioning of CORS permanent networks in the world. Special attention has been paid to the EPN network and the regional CORS networks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and Croatia. BiHPOS: SRPOS and FBiHPOS, AGROS, CROPOS, and MONTEPOS were analyzed from the aspect of mutual data exchange with the aim of achieving better location accuracy and removing deficiencies in the network geometries. Due to their individual development, as well as mutually concluded agreements on data exchange, measurements obtained using GNSS today have a wide range of applications, such as maritime communication, aviation, engineering work, earth monitoring, and many more. Also, the points of the region included in the EPN network with the aim of exchanging data at the European level are shown.
