The expected accuracies obtainable with Network Real-Time Kinematic (NRTK) measurements are of interest to surveyors working on construction projects. This study introduces an NRTK-based free stationing method called RUFRIS (Real Time Updated Free Station) which is independent from physically marked points. Integration of total station distance and direction observations with NRTK measurements enables uncertainty estimation of both total station and surveyed NRTK points. In Sweden, NRTK is conducted using the national network of permanent reference stations with different densifications (10, 35, 70 km). This paper investigates the applicability of the RUFRIS-method to estimate the uncertainty of NRTK measurements in the field.
