Development of Earthwork Progress Measurement System Using Global Positioning System (GPS)

In this study a new system for earthwork measurements using the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been developed. This paper describes the development of a device to automatically hold an antenna level and a computer program developed for the transformation of coordinates obtained by GPS surveying to the ordinary plane coordinates.

This paper gives a report on the earthwork progress measurement system, including its effectiveness. This effectiveness was verified a comparison between this new system and the traditional surveying system.
