Abstract:Global Positioning System (GPS) technology offers advantages to transportation agencies in the planning, design and construction stages of project delivery. This research study will develop a guide for Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) implementation of GPS technology, both internally and externally, assisting the agency in the areas of construction specifications, quality control, business policies and procedures, and cost budgeting. This study will result in the delivery of a report that includes recommendations for specification language regarding contractor use of GPS for automated machine grading and the sharing of MDOT electronic data. This report will include a suggested plan for implementation of GPS technology in the MDOT corresponding functional areas. Workshops will be delivered with the participation of MDOT personnel and construction company representatives centered on the GPS Guidance Specification and Implementation Plan to facilitate their adoption.
