Abstract
Construction plant control and guidance is a very hot topic. Already laser levelling has been used to enable automated construction plant height control. This however is limited due to controlling only the height component of the plant's 3-D coordinate. The use of satellite positioning systems is being investigated as a method of controlling and guiding construction plant on site.
The paper details trials conducted by the IESSG whereby GPS and GPS/GLONASS receivers were situated upon a bulldozer, allowing kinematic carrier phase positioning of multiple locations upon the plant. The kinematic positioning was then compared to the on board laser guidance system. The results show that precision in the order of a few millimetres is possible.
