1.1 Introduction

Hi-Survey Road is a measurement software with a high degree of accuracy on the Android system of
Hi-Target.
Hi-Survey Road should be run on Android 2.3.3 or above, it can be run on a Hi-Target professional
measure controller, a general phone, tablet, and other Android devices. Just copy the Hi-Survey Road
APK to the Android device.

1.1.1 Hi-Survey Road

Hi-Survey Road is designed for road surveying and staking with strong functions; it can be used for
staking complex roads, combining road lines, and support three road algorithms (intersection, element,
coordinate): cross-sections can be defined easily. The linear element method adopts the unified curve
element model with rigorous theory, and the numerical integration algorithm is used to avoid the
higher-order errors of traditional algorithms. Generally, the computing result can support all kinds of
roads, common lines, and multi-type complex lines and connect receivers to measure online via Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, and networks.

1.1.2 Road Function

- Support for horizontal-section, vertical-section, cross-section, road-staking, slope-staking and visual

cross-section collection.
- Calculate line-staking point in real-time, support for adding stake over any mileage, mileage-
projecting in real-time, and displaying the mileage of staking points.
- Direct and convenient guidance method of staking, with line-staking and mid-level measurements
working at the same time.
- The horizontal section line supports the common method (intersection, element, coordinate) and can
freely define the line of any form. For example: interchange ramp.
- The cross-section earthwork provides two methods: Mean Area method and Prism method to
calculate the amount of excavation.
- Supports multiple cross-section grade-change point-setting, the left and right slope can be edited into
asymmetric type; it can also edit over-elevation and widening of a slope.
- Supports DTM surface design, DTM surface-staking, and DTM earthwork calculation.

The working directory path of Hi-Survey Road is the ZHD folder under the SD card. The project is
under ZHD/Project/Road folder, and the specific sub-applications are stored in the corresponding
projects.

Figure 1-3-20 Project

When starting a new measurement work, create a new project firstly, set the parameters - they are
saved in the *.prj file; meanwhile, there will be a *.dam file with the same name of the project; the
coordinate points, stake points, control points will be saved in the map folder. The structure of the new
project (project name is Unnamed) is shown as the picture below.

Figure 1-3-21 Road Work File

Notice:

1. If you create a new project when the controller does not have an external SD
card, the project folder will automatically generate a * .bak back-up file
2. When the controller has the external SD card, the back-up data will be saved in
the ZHD-Bak folder. The specific project data is stored in the corresponding
project folder, as shown like the picture below.

2. Set the base station and receiver position, before setting the Datalink and Other. Tick Save Pos to
save the coordinates of the base station, and then set the Correction Type, Elevation Mask, Data Link.
You can also set Pos Frequency, Store GNSS Raw and others by clicking Advance Config.

-Set the base location.

If the base station is located at a known point and the conversion parameters are known, you can
choose Set by Point, directly input or select the WGS-84 BLH coordinates of the point from point
library, or open the conversion parameters in advance, enter the local NEZ coordinates, so that the
base station takes the WGS-84 BLH coordinates of the point as the reference transmitting the
differential data.

Figure 1-4-14 Set Base1 Figure 1-4-15 Set Base2

If the base station is set at an unknown point, choose Set by Average and set the average time. After

13
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

completing the data link and RTCM format settings, click Set in the upper right corner, the receiver will
perform Average according to the set number of average times. Finally the average value will be the
base station coordinates.
If you tick Save Pos when you choose Set by average, you also need to input the Target H, Measure-
Type and Name.

Figure 1-4-16 Set Base3 Figure 1-4-17 Set Base4

3. Click Data Link, select the data link type and enter the relevant parameters.
(for example, when transmitting data with the Hi-Target server, the relevant parameters need to be set.
When the data link selects the Internal GSM, The Group Type can be selected By City Number or By
Base Station SN. When the radio station is used for operation, the data link needs to select the
Internal UHF or External Radio mode, and setting the radio channels.)

Check whether the differential light of the device is flashing regularly. When using the external radio
station, the radio will flash once a second, if it is normal, it will prompt Base station is ready, do you
want to set Rover now?
Base position
Datalink
Radio mode is the traditional data link mode, and the built-in radio mode is taken as an example, to
illustrate the introduction of radio station mode using simple steps.
-Internal UHF: built-in radio.
-Protocol: The radio protocol and baud rate (for example, HI-TARGET19200) of the rover should be
consistent with the base.
-Channel: 0 ~ 115 any number, but the rover station settings should be consistent with the base
station.

(The data link parameters of the rover are consistent with the base, so the rover can receive the
correction signal from the base.)
Parameter settings
After setting the relevant parameters of the datalink, you also need to set the Correction Type,
Elevation Mask, and Pos Frequency, Store GNSS Raw, Power (High/Middle/Low), and Frequency List
in Advance Config.

5. Framework Shifting

For computing the horizontal and vertical translation between two coordinate systems.
The user can transfer the collected GNSS coordinates to local NEZ by one point. For example, give
the top-left point as (0, 0, 0), then other points are translated to an independent coordinate system,
according to the point. Generally, the translation value is too large, if you translate BLH and NEZ,
there will be a big projection error, so after framework-shifting, the saved BLH is still the original BLH,
while the NEZ is the local one.
Compute
- Compute: Compute the dN, dE, dZ from the current point and known point.
First: Users need to obtain the source point (the current point) coordinates.
Second: and the coordinates of the known point first. The known point can be input directly or selected
from the library.
The source point can be got from average collection , real-time collection , library , and map .

6. Framework Calibration

This is for computing the horizontal and vertical translation between two coordinate systems, generally
used for situations as below:
Only one BJ-54, XIAN-80 point or only one point of a coordinate system which is a little rotated from
WGS-84. Set the Base, then take the Rover to a known point, click Framework Calibration →
Compute, collect the NEZ coordinate, input the known point, click Compute to get the Correction dN,
dE, dZ of the known point and source point, press Apply to apply the parameters and the collected
points will be corrected to the coordinate system of the known point.
You created a project, it worked, but you don’t want to set the base at the same place, so now you can
set the base at any place, by using the Framework Calibration function. Open the first-used project to
a known point to correct the coordinates. The correction method is the same as the first situation.

- Compute: Calculate the coordinate correction dN, dE, dZ according to the current point and the
known point. Users need to obtain the source point (the current point) coordinates and the coordinates
of the known point first. The known points can be entered in three ways: select from the point library
, select from the map or enter the coordinates directly. Select / : the resulting known point
coordinates will correspond to the NEZ/BLH format.

5. Polynomial Fitting

Transfer the place by a polynomial model. In some projects, when the known points involved in
calculating plane transformation and elevation fitting parameters are different points, use 2D Helmert
and Height Fitting to individually calculate parameters.

The 2D Helmert is used in the calculation part of the plane, and the method is similar to the datum
conversion model.

- When using four-parameters, the scale parameter is generally very close to 1, about 1.0000x or
0.9999x.

- When using three-parameters, the parameters generally need to be less than 120.

- When using seven-parameters, the parameters are required to be smaller, preferably less than 1000.

The calculation of the individual height-fitting parameters includes Constant Vertical Offset, Planar
Fitting, Quadratic Surface, and Zonal, which correspondingly require one, three, six and three starting
points, at least, to be used. Enter the Name, N, E, the original H and the target H of the point involved
in the height fitting parameter calculation, then click Add. After adding all points, click Compute to see
the residual values, the maximum residual value is generally required to be less than 3 cm. If the value
meets the requirements, click Apply. If not, click Cancel, remove the points with a big error and have a
re-solution.

Set the height fitting mode:

- Constant Vertical Offset refers to the receiver measured height plus a fixed constant as the use of
elevation: the constant can be negative.

- Planar Fitting refers to the height anomaly corresponding to multiple leveling points to produce an
optimal fitting plane. When the plane is parallel to the horizontal plane, the planar fitting is equal to the
constant vertical offset.

- Quadratic Surface refers to the height anomaly corresponding to multiple leveling points to produce
an optimal fitting paraboloid. Quadratic Surface is relatively high for the starting data, and if the fitting
is too poor, it may cause a height correction value divergence in the work area.

- Zonal: two known benchmarks to create a virtual mark, used to make the planar fitting.

- Grid Fitting needs to select the grid fitting file, it supports Trimble (ggf), HI-Target (zgf), Geoid99 (bin)
formats, compatible with the egm-96 model. Grid fitting files are often large, the reading may take
some time, please be patient. Grid Fitting is rarely used. If Grid Fitting and the other four kinds of
elevation method are selected at the same time, Grid Fitting will be taken first, and then the other
fittings.

- Solution state: mainly includes the following modes (except for the fixed coordinates, the precision
ranges from high to low): the known points refer to the fixed (base station) → Fix Pos → RTK Fix
→ Float → DGPS → SDGPS → Auto →None (no GNSS Data).
- Differential Age: This refers to the time when a rover station receives a base station signal for a
solution.
- PDOP: The spatial geometrical intensity factor of satellite distribution; the better the satellite
distribution, the smaller the PDOP value; generally less than 3 is the ideal state.
- Visible satellites: The number of satellites received by the receiver, and 5 at least in RTK works.
- Public satellites: There is no public satellite in the Base station, only when the rover station receives
the difference data. Public satellites refer to the calculated used satellites, when the base and rover
station participate in whole cycles and search at the same time, generally, it needs more than 5 to
work properly.
- Time Zone: Select the work time zone, correct the UTC time input by GNSS receiver to the local time

4.1.4 PPK Collection

PPK (Post Processing Kinematic) technology was the earliest GPS dynamic differential technology. It
is also known as the stop and go. The main difference between PPK and RTK technology is that it is
not necessary to establish a real-time data transmission between the base and rover. After the
positioning observation, the positioning data is collected by the two receivers. This is then jointly
processed to calculate the coordinates of the rover at the corresponding position. The distance
between the base and rover is not strictly limited.

The PPK function can be either used alone or in combination with RTK. When using the PPK function
alone, the base station only needs to keep track of the satellites and record the static data. When used
in combination with the RTK, the base station needs to send differential data while recording static
data. Hi-Survey Road has the PPK switch in the setting interface of the base. When it is set to On, the
base station can record static data and transmit the differential data.

After setting up the rover, click the PPK button on the right side of the graphic interface of the Detail
survey for the PPK collection settings.

Figure 4-1-17 PPK Figure 4-1-18 PPK Record

Click Turn on record, the rover station starts to record static data. When you arrive endpoints
measurement position, you can click Start mark to proceed collection after inputting the corresponding
Name, Target H, GroundCode, select the average count (generally recommended more than 200
times).

Slide the screen to the left during the collection to view the coordinates of each average data. When
the setting of the average times is reached or click Finish mark, the software automatically saves the
coordinate points. Click Turn off the record and the rover will stop recording static data.

Each time PPK collection is performed, a PPK file is recorded correspondingly, and you can view the
file information and delete the file in the Project  PPK File.

Notice: The data and tag information of the PPK function of the rover are
recorded in the Rinex folder of the receiver, and the Rinex file should be used for
post-processing. For related operations on PPK post-processing, please refer to
the HGO V2.0.0 Software User's Guide.

meets the requirements to continue to automatically collect and save), click to finish automatic
collection.

Figure 4-1-32 Auto Collection Method Figure 4-1-33 Auto Collection by Time

When the automatic collection mode is Time, the interval(s) value can be set, and it will start automatic
collection according to the set time interval.
When the automatic collection mode is Distance, the interval(s) value can be set, and it will start
automatic collection according to the set plane interval.
When the automatic collection mode is Slant Distance, the interval(s) value can be set, and it will start
automatic collection according to the set slant interval.
When the automatic collection mode is Bubble is centered, hold it straight for automatic collection, and
take away immediately after collection, with no further human intervention. Clicking on the upper-right
corner of the interface Configure → Data → Bubble Precision to set the bubble precision.

When the data quality is not good (the solution, precision, and the bubble do not meet the
requirements), automatic collection stops, and a specific red font prompt will be given by the software,
according to the current unsatisfied conditions.

4.1.8 Average Collection

Average Collection is a simple way to improve measurement accuracy; according to the error theory,
the error occurs in any direction, so if there are a large number of observed quantities, accidental
errors will be offset (but it’s just theory, it doesn’t mean that the more observed quantities, the higher
the precision). In the Average Collection interface, click Start, the software will collect points, and
display the current point position at the same time. The software automatically analyzes the quality of
the data, then calculates and displays a standard deviation (root mean square error).

Average Collection supports text and graphic displays. After the average collection reaches the set
number and stops, in the Text interface, you can delete some scattered points in the average list to
improve the collection accuracy (long press average list, display Delete toolbar), and then the software

135
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

will automatically redo the average calculation. In the graphic display interface, click the average
collection point to display the point coordinates.

Figure 4-1-34 Average Text Interface Figure 4-1-35 Average Graph Interface

The calculated error is the same as the error of the measurement. However, because the average
process is from a small quantities collection, the estimated error may be less than the actual
measurement error.

Configuration can be done before average collection; click Configure in the upper right of the Average
interface to set the Average Method, Status, Ave Times and Ave Precision. Each time you exit the
software, the Status of the average collection configuration is set to the Fix solution. It cannot be
configured during the average collection. If it fails to achieve the average accuracy, as well as
configuration over-limit, it will prompt Unable to start average due to low precision. Then you need to
re-configure the average precision.

4.1.9 Indirect Survey

Intersection collection is designed for places where we cannot reach or there is no GNSS signal.
Usually, only plane coordinates can be obtained by intersection, and the elevation data should be
obtained by other measurements. The principle of intersection is a simple graphical intersection
calculation; there are many intersection ways, with different required quantity, you can choose
according to your measurement tools (please refer to chapter 5 of this book for specific usage: Tools
→ Intersection).

Notice: The points calculated by intersection are saved in Coordinate Data and
Raw Data.

4.3 Stake Line

The Stake Line is a simple local staking tool for the local line. There are four basic lines: Line, Arc,
Spiral curve and Circle. The line can be defined by 2 Points and Point+Azi for the 2D-line or 3D-line.
The arc can be defined by 2 Points and a unified curve metamodel with Point+Azi, and the spiral curve
can be defined by a unified curve metamodel with Point+Azi. The circle can be defined by the center
and radius. (Note: in order to unify the concept, we consider that the staking of one line is the stake of
a circuit for each staking point. Its position is only indexed by the mileage.)
Usually, the first step is to select the line type.
Click to enter Stake Line Library to define a line, including four types: Line, Arc, Spiral Curve, and
Circle. You can add, edit, delete, create, load, save, save as, and open data for the data of Stake Line

Select the 3D-line to define a three-dimensional line, defined in two types: 2 Points and Point + Azi +
Slope.
When the 3D-line is staked, the defined stake milestone is the 3D length, not the traditional 2D
projected length.

In order to guide the destination, the software draws a connecting line, just make sure that the current
walking direction coincides with the connecting line, the walking direction is correct. At the same time,
there are some guidelines below, for some areas with a strong sense of direction and clear pointing,
you can follow the instructions guide.

 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

Notice: Blue arrow is the position and velocity direction of the current point, the
circular icon is the target point, the dotted line is the line connecting the current
point and the target point. As long as the walking direction coincides with the
connecting line, it is possible to ensure that the stake direction is correct, so that
the target point can be easily found. The following information box is the staking
information, indicating the difference between the walking direction and the
vertical direction.

Stake instructions can be selected in two types: Front-Back, North-South. You can set in Configure →
Stake → Line Stake Guide Type.
If you turn on Real-time Mileage HT Diff, the current mileage will be displayed on the interface, and its
connection with the current point will be drawn. Draw a small dot on the line to indicate the position of
the projection; Real-time Mileage is also used to determine whether the direction of walking is correct
(compare real-time mileage with stake point mileage, and increase direction).

5.1 Operation Procedure

The road engineering survey contains the route reconnaissance and design survey and road
construction survey.
1. Route reconnaissance and design survey
Preliminary measurement: Control measurement. Measure the strip topographic map and profile
diagram, collect geological hydrological data along the line, do the paper location or site location and
make comparison plans to provide a basis for the preliminary design.
Decided measurement: Route centerline survey on the route of the selected design. Measure the
profile diagram, cross-sectional profile, bridges and culverts, route crossing and facilities along the
route to provide information for the construction design.
2. Road construction survey
Follow the design drawings to restore the road, measure the subgrade side piles and vertical curve,
and do the project completion acceptance measurement.

5.2 Stake Road

Stake road is the key function of Hi-Survey Road. The excellent working mode will make the surveying
more efficient and systematic.

Stake roads and lines are mostly the same. The definition of the road is more complicated than the
definition of the line, it will use the profile and cross-section to design the line, so the calculation is
more complicated. But, relatively speaking, the difference between the stake road and stake line is
only the operation of defining the line; point collection and staking-out operation are the same.

5.2.1 Load in the Road Data

The operation is as follows:

1. Click to enter the Road Lib interface. You can click More → Import to load the road or .xml file.
You can also click Add to add the road manually.

Figure 5-2-1 Stake Road Figure 5-2-2 Road Lib

158
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

2. When you add a new road, you can import the Broken Chainage, Centerline, Profile, Cross-
section, Side-section or Construction design files. After each file has been imported, click
Apply on the corresponding file interface.

Figure 5-2-3 New Road Figure 5-2-4 Road Design Figure 5-2-5 Intersection

3. After successfully applying the design file, the interface will prompt that the Road Alignment data
has been updated! Click OK to return to the Road Lib interface, which will prompt Success. To view
whether the design file has been added click Start Station, End Station and File Path for easy
verification.
4. Finally, select the road to be staked in the list, and click OK on the Stake Road interface for the
stakeout.

Figure 5-2-6 Road Alignment Updated Figure 5-2-7 Road Information Figure 5-2-8 Road Path

Click to switch the perspective (top view or cross-section view of the road), and there will be the
Side-section for users to choose if the side-section and cross-section are enabled. If there is no
elevation for the profile, cross-section elevation collection and side-section staking-out can’t be done.
Because the elevation is unknown, it’s impossible to get the height of filling and cutting.

159
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

In the cross-section view, the red dot indicates the corresponding position of the current position in the
cross-section. In the upper left of the interface, the current real-time mileage and the offset from the
centerline are displayed. At the bottom left of the interface, the height of filling and cutting is displayed.

5.2.2 Confirm the location of Stakeout Points

Click Sample Point icon , input the mileage of point to be the staked. Among them, the Milestone
and Offset will automatically accumulate according to the Step. Also, you can do the operation Add,
Edit and Import for Station Offset File. Click OK to enter the stakeout interface. (For example, if you
are currently in the Sample Point interface, the point with the set milestone and offset that you input
will be staked when you click OK in the upper right corner. If you are currently in the Station Offset file
interface, the point with the mileage and offset of the Station Offset File will be staked when you click
OK.)

Each time you enter this interface, the Milestone and Offset are automatically incremented by the Step.
You only need to enter this interface to confirm the reduced data input negative value, and you can
perform the stakeout work. If you need to make an adjustment, click the icon to reduce or click
to increase it. Or you can manually input to complete the data input work.

Station Offset
You can set the Station and Offset by manually adding or editing, or you can directly import the edited
Station Offset File (*.csv) for stakeout by directly operating Add, Edit, Delete and Clear for the
contents.

-Apply: Stake out the sample point; the Stake Road interface will display the dashed line connection
between the current point and the staked point, as well as the stakeout indication.

5.2.3 Stakeout

This process is the same as the stake line operation.

5.3 Road Design

You can directly click the Road Design or Road Designer File in the Stake Road interface to enter the
Road Lib interface, and then import, add or edit the road file (*.road). Each road file includes the Road
Name, Broken Chainage, Centerline, Profile, Cross-section, Side-section, and Construction design file.
You can load the corresponding design files according to your needs.

5.3.2 Centerline

There are many methods for centerline, including Intersection, Element, and Coordinate. The
intersection method is based on certain conventions (for example, a single intersection line defines the
combination of line elements in the intersection point as Spiral CurveArcSpiral Curve), which has
certain restrictions on the type of lines. The element method can combine line shapes arbitrarily,
supporting complex curves, including oval lines, multi-intersection curves, and imaginary intersection
points, etc.. And it supports for polyline but .sec file will lose polyline corner information. The
coordinate method is similar to the Element method, but the definition of each line element is
determined by defining coordinates of the start and endpoint. The line element format (*.sec) files
won’t contain the polyline corner information, so if the polyline corner information is needed, please
save the file as the Coord File (*.Zline) format.

Hi-Survey Road supports the Intersection, Element and Coordinate methods and the default line
element combination within the intersection is the straight line → the first spiral curve → arc → the
second spiral curve.
It supports the smooth spiral curve, and the non-smooth spiral curve supports the transverse import.

165
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

Notice:
1. Two spiral curves can be asymmetrical.

2. The reverse loop needs to be treated as a non-reverse loop, such as adding an

intersection.

3. It supports the imaginary intersection point.

4. It supports the local curve, and the spiral curve length can be zero.

2. Element method

Element alignment decomposes the combination of complex route lines into several linear units. If
there is information (coordinates, tangential direction, the radius of curvature, etc) about the starting
point of the route plane curve, the unit that extends in any direction can be set from the start point, and
the endpoint information of the unit can be calculated. Then the end of this unit can be used as the
starting point for the next unit.
Common lines contain the straight line, arc and spiral curve. Users can input the line manually or load
files directly, including the Line Element File (*.sec), HDPM (*.pm), WDPM (*.pm), LandXml File (*.xml)
and Poling Data (*.CSV) formats.
In the general working process, users need to input the coordinates of the starting point, Station and
Azimuth. Click Add to choose the line type and input the information.
-Line: Expressed by L, input the Length, Start Offset, and Start Azimuth.

169
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

-Arc: Expressed by A, input the Start Radius, Length, Direction, Start Offset, and Start Azimuth.
-Spiral Curve: Expressed by S, input the Start Radius, End Radius, Length, Direction, etc..

In the online element method, the radius of the start and endpoint should be specially treated for the
oval shape (the common palliative curve). To solve the correct radius of the start and the graph for
incomplete gentle bending:
A×A÷[A×A÷R－Ls]
It is suggested that you use Poling Data (*.CSV) for fast-import. Just add two columns of slow bending
parameters, A1 and A2, behind Poling Data (*.CSV), and click load to build the oval curve line.
Click Start to enter the element interface to edit the start point.

7.1.2 Tilt Calibration and Verification

Tilt Calibration

The whole tilt calibration has three steps:

1. Orientation sensor calibration;
2. Electronic bubble calibration;
3. Magnetic calibration.
The order of 1 and 2 steps can be reversed but must be performed before step 3.

Notice:
1. The calibration should be done in a low magnetic interference area or an open
field. Don’t do calibration on the roof or top of a high building.

2. Calibration should be done in external station mode, don’t use the internal UHF
link to avoid magnetic interference.

3. Don’t change battery and power off during all the calibration steps.

Here are the detailed operations below:

1. Orientation Sensor Calibration
Additional Settings → click Orientation sensor calibration to enter calibration interface.

7.1.3 Calibration Verification

In order to make sure accuracy is not strongly interfered with by the environment and procedure,
verification is necessary before starting the tilt survey.
Put the device at 30-degree tilt approximately, on the pole, and rotate it slowly clockwise for a week.
View the azimuth changes, if the differences between maximum and minimum values are less than 5
degrees, it means the sensors are working well and you can do a tilt survey directly, otherwise module
verification will be required.

221
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

Notice:
1. The pole shouldn’t be moved.

2. Rotation speed should be 2 degrees per second and it takes about 3 minutes to
rotate one week.

Unscrew the knob

and hold the pole to
rotate device
clockwise slowly
around pole.

Figure 7-1-23 Calibration Verification

Notice:
1. When replacing a new measurement area, or the terrain complex environment of
the measurement area changes greatly, module verification is required before
measurement.

2. When the new device first uses tilt measurement, it must be calibrated.

3. After the new battery is replaced, the device must be calibrated.

7.1.4 Tilt Correction Procedure

After electronic bubble calibration, orientation sensor calibration, magnetic calibration, and verification
are successful, you can start a tilt surveying. If the device has not undergone calibration, users will be
prompted when Tilt Survey is opened: you must complete all calibrations before you can open the Tilt
Survey. Tilt Survey conditions are limited to static, within 20 degrees of tilt.
1. Tilt Survey must be opened when you start a tilt surveying, click Surveying Configure→Data→Tilt

10.1 Technical Terms

1. Global navigation satellite system（GNSS）

Global navigation satellite system (GNSS), is the standard generic term satellite navigation system,
it provides global coverage of geographic spatial orientation, including the US GPS, Russian
GLONASS, Chinese BDS, and the European Union's Galileo.
2. GPS time
The time measurement used by the NAVSTAR GPS system.
3. UTC
Universal Time Coordinated 。 Time standard for local daylight hours based on Greenwich
meridian。See GPS time.
4. Multipath
Interference (similar to the heavy shadow on a television screen). GNSS signals arrive at multiple
paths before they reach the antenna through different paths.
5. Degree of ambiguity
The number of weeks in the carrier phase pseudo space between GNSS satellite and GNSS
receiver.
6. Ephemeris
Current satellite position prediction. It is transmitted in the data.
7. Epoch
Measurement interval of GNSS receiver. Variations of the calendar element with measurement type:
- For real-time measurement, it is set to one second.
- For post-processing measurements, set to one second and one minute.
8. Antenna height
The height of the receiver phase center to the center of the station.
9. Reference station（base station）
In a certain period of time, and if one or several receivers, on one or a few test sites, keep tracking
an observation satellite, with the receiver in a certain range, the fixed station is called a reference
station.
10. Mobile station
In a certain period of time, and if one or several receivers, on one or a few test sites, keep tracking
an observation satellite, and the receiver is within a certain range, the fixed station is called a
reference station。
11. Single reference station RTK measurement.

256
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

Only one base station is used, and the carrier phase difference correction parameter is measured by
the data communication technology receiving base station.
12. Network RTK (CORS/VRS)
Refers to multiple reference stations in an area, network coverage to the region composition, and
continuous tracking observation, through the sites of GPS observation network, covering the region
and the time period for RTK correction parameters, in the region for RTK line RTK real-time
correction way of positioning.
13. Cut-off height angle
In order to shield the effect of occluded objects (such as buildings, trees, etc..) and the multipath
effect, the value of the angle threshold is lower than that of the satellite in the field of view,
which is usually set to 10 degrees.
14. Fixed solution
This indicates that the ambiguity has been solved and the measurement has been initialized. It is the
most accurate type of solution.
15. Floating solution
This indicates that the ambiguity has been solved and the measurement has not been initialized.
16. DOP (dilution of precision)
Position Dilution of Precision (Dilution of Precision) is GNSS quality marks. It takes into account the
position of each of the satellites, relative to the other satellites in the constellation, and their
geometric position relative to the GNSS receiver. The smaller the DOP value, the higher the
accuracy reliability. Standards applied by GNSS DOP value are: - the PDOP - position (3d
coordinate) - RDOP relative (position), average time - HDOP - level (two-dimensional horizontal
coordinates) - VDOP - vertical (only height) - TDOP - time (the clock offset only).
17. Spatial position dilution of precision (PDOP)
A unit number that represents the relationship between user position error and satellite position error.
The factors reflecting the attenuation of positioning accuracy are related to the spatial geometric
distribution of the measured satellite, and the larger the spatial distribution range, the smaller the
PDOP value and the higher the positioning accuracy; conversely, the larger the PDOP value, the
lower the positioning accuracy.
18. PDOP limit
The highest PDOP value for the receiver's computed position.
19. PPM
The measurement of the slanting distance of one-millionth is corrected for the impact of the earth's
atmosphere. PPM is determined by the observed pressure and temperature as well as the specific
instrument constants.
20. The RMS
The Root Mean Square is used to indicate the measurement accuracy of the point. It is the error
circle radius at about 70% of the fixed point.

257

21. SNR
（Signal-to-Noise Ratio）。It is a measure of the strength of satellite signals. SNR ranges from 0
(no signal) to 99, of which 99 is the best, and 0 means the satellite is not available. The typical good
value is 40. Normally, when SNR is above 25, GNSS systems begin to use satellites.
22. Weighted index
The weighted index is used in the neighborhood adjustment calculation. The calculated distance
from each new point to the control point, in the station establishment, will be weighted according to
the weighted index when the coordinate adjustment applied to the new point is calculated.
23. Pile distance/station distance.
The distance or interval along a line, arc, or path.
24. Projection
Projection is used to produce a plane map that represents the surface of the earth, or that part of the
surface.
25. The ellipsoid
The earth's mathematical model of the rotation of an ellipse around a short axis.
26. Geodetic datum
A mathematical model designed to fit some or all of the geoid surface (physical earth surface).
27. Earth level
It's very close to the universal gravitation of the sea’s surface.

10.2 Troubleshooting

1. The receiver keeps tracking but failed to give coordinates.

Please try the possible solutions below:
(1) Set up the receiver again in another place with much less electromagnetic wave interference (like
a power station, radar station, etc..)
(2) Set the working mode of the receiver to static, then collect static data for 3 – 5 min, then switch it
back to the original model (base or rover)
(3) Long press function button to reset motherboard, or restart the device.
2. The base station failed to send correction signal.
Please try the possible solutions below:
(1) Replace the battery in case the battery power is too low (power LED will flash red)
(2) Abnormal LED display in base mode
a. Satellite LED flashing, means the receiver failed to track the satellites and the coordinates cannot
be provided:
The place where the base was set might be blocked by buildings or shelters and the useful

258
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

Satellites were less than 4. Find a better place to set up the station again.
Coordinates provided by the base station are far from the actual coordinates; in this case, a re-
averaging of base coordinates is required.
b. Satellite LED keeps on but the signal LED does not flash: this means the base does not transmit
the correction signal. Please reset up the base.
(3) Central meridian might be set with a mistake, double-check this parameter.
(4) Reset motherboard, restart the device.
3. Rover cannot receive signals even if it is very close to the external radio of the base station:
(1) If the signal LED is not flashing, please refer to problem 2 (previous problem).
(2) Transmitting LED RX/TX does not flash (flashes once every second in normal conditions)
a. Check if the cable is connected firmly.
b. Check if the cable is broken, try to replace the cable.
c. Replace the power if the battery is too low.
(3) Everything is alright with the base part but the rover signal LED does not flash.

a. Make sure the radio channel and link rate are the same as the settings in the base.

b. Internal radio module in rover is abnormal, try to replace it, or grade the firmware or restart the
device.
(4) Rover signal LED flashed but in the software, there is no common satellite number showing.

a. Make sure the message types between base and rover are the same.

b. Rover is severely interfered with and the common satellites‘ number is less than 4, so the number
is not showing. On this occasion please go to an open-air area to set the rover.
4. Short-range radio communication in external radio base mode.
These are three possible reasons:

(1) External battery power is too low to supply enough power to transmit the signal. Replace the
battery.

(2) The transmission method is not set to be external radio on the base station.
(3) External radio abnormal.

a. Power is set too low.

b. The transmission antenna is not installed properly.

c. The cable is not connected firmly.

d. The antenna on the rover is not installed firmly or broken.

(4) Strong interference in the base area. Try to change the channel or change the place to set up
base
5. Failed to connect to internet in internal GSM mode.

259
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

How to solve:
(1) Cellular internet antenna is not installed or not installed firmly.

(2) Internet setting incorrect (check the IP address, port, telecom operator, APN, CORS ID, and
password, etc..)
(3) SIM card problems

a. Not installed properly, or the position is not matched to the pins, either too shallow or too deep.

b. No balance in the SIM account.

c. The band of the SIM card is not matching the band in the cellular modem. Try to use another SIM
card from other telecom operators.
(4) Cellular signal is weak in the region.
(5) CORS server is not working properly. Try to use another device to test it.

(6) Reset the device.

6. ZHD Server connection failed.
How to solve:
(1) Check the IP, port, Area ID, Group ID, the message type is the same between base and rover.
(2) Account or Group ID and Area ID occupied by other users. First come, first served.
(3) Server abnormal. Please contact CORS service center for help.
7. Rover failed to get signal from CORS.
How to solve:

(1) Signal LED flashing green, but failed to connect to server:

a. SIM card issues (no balance, SIM card slot lose, band incompatible)；

b. CORS parameters issues (IP, port, mount point, account ID and password, etc..)

c. Contact the CORS service center for help if the above are checked and are ok.

d. Internal cellular modem problem, try to reset or restart the device.

(2) Signal LED stays green but failed to receive a correction signal.

a. Check IP, port.

b. Contact the CORS service center for help if the things above are checked.
(3) Signal LED is green and flashes yellow every second, but no common satellites’ number shows.

a. Check if the message type is correct

b. Check if the GNSS signal is severely blocked or interfered.

8. Bluetooth connection failed between controller and receiver
How to solve：

260
 Hi-Survey Road User Manual

(1) Check if the working mode of receiver is static; if yes, switch it back to

base or rover mode; check if the 8-pin port of receiver is occupied or not.
(2) Clear the Bluetooth search result list, search again and connect the device.
(3) Either switch off and switch on the Bluetooth function or restart the device or controller.
(4) Update the firmware of controller, or the firmware of receiver.
9. Android controller cannot connect to PC (windows).
How to solve:
(1) Check if the driver was successfully installed or windows updated to the latest version.
(2) Check if the anti-virus software blocks the connection due to its security.
(3) Check if the USB debug function is activated.
(4) Check the USB cable is not broken.
10. Big coordinates difference after the Localization work (coordinate system parameters calculated)
Possible reasons:
(1) Accuracy is not good during the data sampling in the control point survey.

(2) The control point is not distributed properly in the restion③Abnormal control point coordinates.
How to solve:
(1) Check the parameters result, if the scale is far from 1, then the control points might not be
correctly input.
(2) Check the distribution of the control points, they should not be so close to each other.
(3) Try to delete the points whose RMS are bigger, if there are more than 3 control points.
