Where is the Monument? Presented by: DeLane R. Meier Surveys & Photogrammetry
HARN (horizontal) and 1st order (vertical) monuments in North Dakota.
GPS CONTROL TYPES • MASTER CONTROL three Horizontal and four vertical known points. (The goal: To eliminate this step) • PROJECT CONTROL • Iron pins placed along the project corridor.
GPS SURVEY TYPES • Static Surveys • Are done to create the project control. • Real time Surveys • Are done to collect the ground survey data • underground utilities • culverts • sign surveys • misc.
OPUS statistics for June 2003 OPUS (Online Positioning User Service) processed 5,237 solutions. Average of 174 GPS solutions per day. There were a total of 4440 users of the system.
US# 2 Berthold eastPROJECT STATISTICS • One person performed the following in less then four days. • Set 5 project control points (Iron pins). • Set GPS receiver on each control point for two hours or more. • Sent data to OPUS for computing. Received 3-D coordinates for the 5 unknown points. • Tied in 64 aerial targets.
How is OPUS so efficient? • We find that we can realize real savings in: • Reduction of staff hours needed to do the static survey. • Reduction of GPS receivers needed to do the static survey. • Reduction of vehicles needed to do the static survey.
GPS is one part of a total system to complete projects faster and more efficiently. 2-D and 3-D (future)
and FileNet • Some advantages of using FileNet • Ability to find documents, plans, and drawings on the users’ computers. • Ability to safely store electronic data in one place. • Ability to work with intelligent documents. • Eliminate static microfilming and microfiche plans.
