Late in 1999, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) initiated a focused research effort to look into innovative Global Position System (GPS) technologies and applications. The primary objective of the research was to evaluate the feasibility of applying GPS in the study of geotechnical phenomenon through the development, integration, and test deployment of a GPS-based instrumentation package utilizing emerging high precision Real-Time Kinematic GPS (RTK-GPS) and wireless communications technologies. The instrumentation package would be configured primarily for the remote monitoring of landslide movements. Bridge monitoring applications would also be explored during the study. |
