Quality in geodesy is typically restricted to modeling and quantifying the uncertainty of estimated parameters of interest based on the concept of mean quadratic deviations or variances, respectively. From a more general point of view additional features have to be taken into account.
WILTSCHKO (2004) presents a quality model for applica-tions of geo-data in telematics which comprises measures for integrity consisting of completeness, consistency and correctness, reliability (in a more general meaning as usual) consisting of availability and up-to-dateness, and precision consisting of metric and semantic precision. It is based on fault-tree analysis and failure mode and effect analysis. This extended process-oriented quality model is formulated in a probabilistic framework and can be subject to optimized data acquisition and processing. It has been applied to advanced driver assistance systems.
