Ultra-precision Location Information Service in a New Era
The National Geographic Information Institute plans to launch the grid-based positioning correction information (G-VRS) pilot service starting from October 1.
The most prominent feature of this service is its ability to determine precise location in centimeters without an internet connection. This is based on a proprietary technology that utilizes satellite reference points and transmits correction information unidirectionally through UHD, DMB, and satellite broadcast signals.
This innovation is expected to positively affect mountainous areas, island regions, as well as the autonomous driving and drone industries in the future.
cm-level Precision Positioning Possible Without Internet
The existing location correction information service has been dependent on the internet, which limited its use in areas with unstable communication. Such limitations have posed difficulties in utilizing the service.
G-VRS provides correction information through broadcast signals. This enables uninterrupted precise positioning even without an internet receiving device.
Additionally, the signals are transmitted through multiple methods such as UHD, DMB, and satellite, which significantly enhances stability.
Expectations for Future Industry Utilization such as Drones and Autonomous Driving
The newly introduced G-VRS is a system that provides correction information by dividing the country into grid units of 20km × 20km. Through this system, users can automatically receive correction data from the nearest grid without separate location transmission and determine their accurate location.
This technology holds high potential for application in various fields, including drone delivery, agricultural drone pest control, and autonomous vehicles. In particular, by providing stable services even in areas with poor internet connectivity, it is expected to support the development of future industries based on location information.
Plans for Verification and Expansion of Satellite Reference Points
The National Geographic Information Institute has verified G-VRS’s accuracy in various real-world environments to ensure it is at a level similar to that of existing services. Testing has been conducted through static surveying, automobile driving, and drone flights, as well as field demonstrations and user tests with private sector consortiums.
In order to further enhance service quality, efforts are underway to expand satellite reference points in island areas. By the end of this year, four new satellite reference points will be added in Heuksando, Geomundo, Chujado, and Ulleungdo, with plans to operate a total of 103 locations.
Differentiation from Existing Services
The National Geographic Information Institute has provided various positioning correction information. The newly introduced G-VRS is a unidirectional service based on broadcasting, which will help to supplement the blind spots that can arise from existing internet-based methods.
This service provides horizontal accuracy of approximately 3cm and vertical accuracy of about 5cm, holding great potential for precision measurement and location-based services. This technological advancement is expected to enable more effective data utilization in related fields.
Conclusion: Innovation in National Life and Industrial Fields
The pilot service of G-VRS can be used by up to 300 people simultaneously, and participation can be requested on the official website of the National Geographic Information Institute (www.ngii.go.kr). The purpose of this pilot service is to provide accurate location information easily and safely in industries and daily life.
In the future, G-VRS is expected to be utilized in various areas including drones, autonomous vehicles, smart agriculture, and disaster safety. It is anticipated to enhance the convenience of citizens and contribute to the development of future industries.
