About

Thomas Petig is a researcher whose work centers on precise positioning and navigation, with a particular focus on low-cost global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and their real-world performance. His most-cited paper, "Static and dynamic performance evaluation of low-cost RTK GPS receivers" (2016, 33 citations), provides a rigorous comparative analysis of affordable real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS receivers against state-of-the-art systems. In this study, Petig evaluated both static accuracy and dynamic performance using a vehicle equipped with a driving robot at the AstaZero proving ground, offering critical insights into the reliability and limitations of cost-effective positioning technologies for autonomous and assisted driving applications. This work has become a foundational reference for researchers and engineers seeking to balance budget constraints with precision requirements in navigation systems. Petig’s contributions are particularly valuable in the context of intelligent transportation systems, where accessible yet accurate positioning is essential for advancing vehicle automation and safety.
