Romanian National Projection System
• S-42 National Reference System – “Stereo70”
• Characteristics: • Krasovski 1940 ellipsoid • Stereographic projection “1970”

Transformation issues
• No simple mathematical formula
• Existing attempts produce inconsistent errors, with accuracy depending on actual location of the dataset
• Reprojection to/from other systems result in topological errors

Why bother with it
• De jure standard for topo-geodesic measurements • Large existing database of geographic information
using the projection (both classical maps and GIS systems)
• Regulation No. 1089/2010 (EU) on the implementation of the INSPIRE directive as regards interoperability of geodatasets and services recommends using ETRS89

2. Convert GRS80 coordinates to Stereo70 coordinates
3. Interpolate geometric correction based on a table of datum shifts
4. Interpolate quasigeoid anomalies to account for the Black Sea reference altitude (Marea Neagră 1975 system)

• Romanian Cadastre Agency: • 7-parameter “Helmert” transformation between “Sistem 42” and
ETRS89 • Issues:
• WGS84 and ETRS89 postulated identical (default PROJ4 behaviour)
• “Wrong” sign for the rotation parameters (EPSG:9607 apparently used instead of the ISO 19111 recommended EPSG:9606, used by PROJ4)

2. Convert coordinates based on GRS80 ellipsoid to ones based on the Krasovski 1940 ellipsoid
3. Interpolate geometric corrections based on a grid of datum shifts

Building a NTv2 file for Romania
• Algorithm: • Generate a custom regular grid in geographical projection (35 sec latitude,
50 sec longitude) covering the territory of Romania
• Convert grid to “Sistem 42” using TransDatRO
• Convert back to WGS84 using PROJ4, ignoring datum transformations
• Compute shifts between the points of the original grid and that of the reprojected one
• Generate NTv2 binary file using the above shifts

Further work
• Modify EPSG:3844 to use parameters published by the Romanian Cadastre Agency
• Official endorsement of the NTv2 grid shift file / Publication of a ANCPI-generated grid shift file based on latest measurements
• OGR/GDAL support for vertical grid shift files
