Low Cost Mobile Surveying Technique with Gpssit

Since GPS technology which is intensively used in surveying application today, can not directly be employed to measure some details such as building boundaries, it is still a necessity to establish control points on the ground and coordinate them by GPS and then measure the details by a total station set up on these control points. Establishment of control points on the ground and their compulsory use increase the cost and course of a detail surveying project. In this research, GPSSIT technique is transferred into a motorized surveying technique adapted on a pickup by a low cost mechanism that enables GPS and laser total station integration. So that, this technique makes possible to measure details in a remote distance without establishing any control point on the ground and carrying out all measurement processes on a pickup not on the ground. Motorized GPSSIT provides great advantages in term of course and cost of work and applicability contrary to conventional surveying technique. Technique was applied to measure details in lodging area of Selcuk University, campus area. The results obtained in this area were then used to analyze the practical applicability of the technique by comparing the results from conventional and other ground based surveying techniques.
