Description

This report investigated the viability of using global positioning system (GPS) driven real-time data collection technology to capture appurtenance and line feature data for the Alberta Transportation and Utilities Geographic Information System. The report examines different data collection methods, investigates real-time data collection and its various equipment components and recommends a solution. The proposed solution incorporates a mapping grade receiver manufactured by Trimble Navigation Limited with a differential correction service provided by Landstar. The data logger configurations, the accuracy of the recommended system, available technical support, training requirements and quality control methods are all discussed. A field demonstration of the recommended system was performed on Nov. 13, 1998 and Nov. 20, 1998.
