How RTK works
The approved explanation should connect physical systems, communications, data, security, and operating responsibility.
Real-Time Kinematic positioning combines satellite carrier-phase observations with corrections from a reference station or network to improve location accuracy, often to the centimeter level under suitable conditions. V2X and automated-driving systems use it for lane-level positioning, mapping, and test measurement. It requires correction delivery, compatible receivers, initialization, and adequate satellite visibility.
