- Abstract
The majority of positioning systems for marine traffic are satellite based such as GPS. The developments of Real Time Kinematic Networks and their applications such as Virtual Reference Station are considered one of the recent high precision techniques for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). These techniques will have great impacts on construction and operation of smart and efficient ports. The advantages of using virtual reference station technique in different port operations and constructions have been discussed in this paper. To apply this technique in Suez Canal corridor zone, a design of GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Station network has been proposed. This network could be used during different construction and operations phases of Suez Canal Corridor project. The recommended system could reduce the time and cost of project constructions and improve navigation and safety through the Suez Canal.
