Abstract

The global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have become important in conjunction with the advancement of technology, in order to improve the accuracy of positioning and navigation on mobile devices. In the current project, a mobile application for navigation using the network transport of restricted test case modeling (RTCM) via internet protocol (NTRIP) was developed, and it has been focused on the autonomous mobility of people with visual disabilities. This occurred through a web viewer that stores the base cartography in a genome database (GDB). Such information is integrated into the application interface with Java Script language within the Android Studio platform, with a personalized design. This incorporates a screen reader for selection, navigation and direction of destinations, in addition to an early warning system for obstacles. Additionally, a differential position correction was implemented using the BKG Ntrip Client (BNC) software, for the adjustment of coordinates with the precise point positioning (PPP) method through streams in the format of RTCM with casters EPEC3, IGS03 and BCEP00BKG0. The evaluation of the application was performed using the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA), establishing 30 control points. These were obtained through the fast static method, in order to compare the horizontal accuracy of the observations in static and navigation modes between high-end and mid-range mobile devices.
