• Abstract:
  Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS), which includes GPS technologies ; maintained by the United States, are used extensively throughout government ; and industry. These technologies continue to revolutionize positional data ; collection activities. Despite the increased accuracy, reduced cost, and improved ; data acquisition effi ciencies, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and ; Development (DOTD) has no established standards or methods to guide its ; general staff and contractors in the appropriate use of GNSS technology to ; ensure application-specifi c data accuracy requirements and that a Department ; minimum are met. Because the DOTD Surveying Section already collects highly ; accurate and precise data, these standards are not intended for them. Instead, ; these standards are intended for staff that collect GPS data from mapping-grade ; applications. There is a need to develop standards and techniques for staff ; who collect GPS Data, separate from the survey section, to ensure a minimum ; standard and level of accuracy, not only for a confi dence level in the data, but also ; to ensure compatible software and equipment support and training.
