Technical Considerations for Modernizing Nova Scotia’s Coordinate Referencing System
Jason Bond · GEOMATICA · 2016
The Nova Scotia Coordinate Referencing System (NSCRS) is Nova Scotia's current framework for providing location-based information. The NSCRS is the foundation for the province's geographic data, includ ing the land administration system. In 2012, the province began developing a modernization strategy to better execute its coordinate referencing program to address ongoing accuracy and accessibility needs. A net work of active control stations (ACSs) tracking global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is at the core of the new strategy. In addition to providing better accuracy and accessibility to the NSCRS, the tech nol ogy has created new opportunities to sustain its passive control infrastructure.
