Beschreibung

In collaborative agricultural scenarios, multiple machines often operate in close proximity to perform coordinated
tasks. However, not all machines may have access to correction services (e.g., RTK base stations or NTRIP),
especially in rural or infrastructure-limited regions. To address this, moving-base RTK offers a promising solution
by enabling one machine to act as a mobile reference station for others.
This thesis focuses on investigating the feasibility, accuracy, and reliability of relative positioning between
machines using GNSS and moving-base RTK. The communication between machines is assumed to be handled
via a Wi-Fi-based system. The core objective is to evaluate the achievable accuracy, fix reliability, and coordinate
system considerations in a real-world proof-of-concept setup. For a master-thesis, the additional topics on
spoofing effects and mitigation and/or detection can be included to the scope of the topic.

Objective of the Thesis:
The goal of this thesis is to develop and evaluate a relative positioning system for multiple machines using GNSS
and moving-base RTK, with a focus on accuracy analysis, fix stability, and coordinate transformations.
