• 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.
