• Abstract:
  This project developed a statewide policy and criteria for collecting, analyzing, and managing global position system (GPS) survey data. The research project determined the needs of the Department in adopting the GPS real time kinetic (GPS RTK) stakeout and automated machine grading (AMG) construction techniques. The project resulted in reformatting and editing of the “Alaska Survey Manual,” proposed revisions to the “Construction Manual,” the “Design Manual,” and to Standard Specification 642—Construction Surveying. Project activities included pilot projects for highways and airports, a comprehensive questionnaire for construction engineers in the three regions, and GPS training for the regions. The resulting survey manual update is provided as the final research product report.
