Abstract
Currently, in Poland, the State Spatial Reference System (SSRS) includes two height reference frames: PL-KRON86-NH and PL-EVRF2007-NH as the Polish implementation of the European Vertical Reference System (EVRF). The deadline for EVRF2007 implementation in Poland, as the only legally permitted height frame, is set at the end of 2023. Because of the administrative division, the implementation was planned in two stages: at the state level (government) and the local level (districts). In the article, the local ones are reviewed, especially regarding the aim of height conversion methods, costs and their progress. As a background, a historical perspective of height systems and frames used in Poland since the beginning of the 20th century is provided. The source of data was the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography (HOGC), as well as the district surveying departments’ official answers; open documents posted on the Internet, e.g. tender documentation and their results were also analysed.
Acknowledgement
Piotr Banasik (AGH University of Krakow, ORCID: 0000-0002-3604-4019) has helped and pre-reviewed the historical part – development of height frames in Poland. The authors are grateful for his involvement.
