What is GPS?• Global Positioning System is government funded system originally
created by the Department of Defense in 1978• System of 38 satellites orbiting the earth from space sending signals
to earth• Other governments are also putting up positioning systems:
– Russian / GLONASS (16 satellites) – European / Galileo systems (2 test satellites)– China / Compass (5 satellites)

How does GPS work?• Satellites send signals
(time stamps) down to receivers on Earth
• 3 satellites required for horizontal positioning, 4 for vertical
• AccuGrade requires 5, the 5th satellite is used for a check
Time Difference
Satellite
Receiver
Distance = Speed x Time

What is a base station and what does it do?
• Base Stations receive signals from the satellites and create a correction factor
• This correction is sent via radio to rovers and machines
• A base station is required to achieve .1’ accuracy, without a base station accuracy is within 30’
• When a base station signal is used this is call a “RTK Fixed” GPS position, if no base is used position might be “DGPS” “Float”, or “Autonomous”

What is Rover?
• A Rover is a survey tool used to receive signals from satellites and a base station to calculate grade

Engineers Create Files• Engineers Create 3D design files that are
used to create paper plans• 3D plans can also be used for stakeouts
and machine control• Surveyors set control points in the field
that are used to correlate lat long to local coordinate system

Site Calibrations• A site calibration makes it possible to use GPS
equipment along with engineers plans• Control points need to be set by surveyors, and
coordinates given to grade checker• Control points are typically set using a laser level loop or
ATS robot, this way more accurate elevations are achieved
• Calibrations link coordinates from design to coordinates in the field- converts lat, long to northing, easting

Site Calibrations• Minimum of 3 control points are required, at least 5 are
recommended• Control points should encompass the job site and not be
bunched together-This is important for high accuracy

Site Calibrations
• Calibration is performed at the beginning of the job, unless base station is moved
• The rover is used to occupy each control point for 30 seconds, after that is completed, a calibration file is created
• This file is also used for machine control
