Construction Machine Control Guidance Implementation Strategy

摘要

Machine Controlled Guidance (MCG) technology may be used in roadway and bridge construction to improve construction efficiencies, potentially resulting in reduced project costs and accelerated schedules. The technology utilizes a Global Positioning System (GPS) in conjunction with 3-D computer models to determine the precise location and elevation of construction materials. This technology is currently being used on dozers, graders, scrapers, and excavators. UDOT must develop procedures and specifications to address the potential issues associated with the use of this technology.
