Geodetic Activity for Compatibility of the Unit of Length of Geodetic Bases Koštice (Czech Republic) and Javoriv (Ukraine)
Abstract
The paper deals with geodetic and metrological activities in the field of length parameter, on the basis of which the uniformity and accuracy of measurements and gauges are ensured also in international extent. The historical role of surveyors in determining the basic unit of length is briefly described. Furthermore, the impact of the application of the laser tracker on the accuracy of determination of the characteristics of the geodetic length standard Koštice (Czech Republic) is evaluated. Based on laboratory tests performed in VUGTK and interlaboratory comparative tests with a leading laboratory in the length parameter in Veisala (Finland), the declared uncertainties of measurement of the VUGTK laboratory were confirmed. These are applied in the metrological traceability of the geodetic length base in Javoriv (Ukraine).
