Development of Earthwork Progress Measurement System Using Global Positioning System (GPS)

Abstract

In this study, a new system for earthwork measurements using the Global Positioning System(GPS) has been developed . This paper describes the development of a device to automatically hold an antenna level and a computer program developed for the transformation of coordinates obtained by GPS surveying to the ordinary plane coordinates. This paper gives a report on the earthwork progress measurement system, including its effectiveness . This effectiveness was verified a comparison between this new system and the traditional surveying system.
