Ohio's Height Modernization program is managed by the Ohio Department of Transportation's (ODOT) Office of Aerial Engineering. ODOT operates a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network that covers the entire state and supports a real time network. Additionally, the Ohio Statewide Imagery Program (OSIP) develops high-resolution imagery and elevation data for the entire state.
Accomplishments
All 52 CORS in ODOT's statewide network are National CORS with one-second RINEX data available through NGS. This network supports real-time survey-grade accuracy statewide to registered users via cell phone or wireless modem. Additionally, a partnership between State, Local and Federal government agencies has created the Ohio Statewide Imagery Program (OSIP) that develops high-resolution imagery and elevation data for the entire state, and it is coordinated by Ohio Department of Administrative Services Office of Information Technology. Standard OSIP products include high resolution Color Orthophotography, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), and LiDAR (visit web page).
Regional Activities
Ohio participates in the Great Lakes Region Height Modernization Consortium.Program Details
