Course Learning Outcomes:
Course Learning Outcomes:
The students will be able to perform statistical analysis of measurements to determine errors.
The students will be able to perform conversions among different distance types (Surface, Geodetic, Grid)
The students will be able to perform differential leveling to determine the elevation of points (stations).
The student will be able to perform traversing to determine the relative position and coordinates of points.
The student will be able to layout horizontal and vertical curves.
The student will be able to set the grade stakes for and compute volumes of earthwork.
The student will be able to use automatic level, total stations, GPS, and LiDAR instruments to collect spatial measurements and subsequently analyze these measurements.
An example of an excel spreadsheet and image of field work for a horizontal curve lab where we were tasked to:
Compute coordinates for PT and PC for 4 PIs.
Use Trimble TSC5 RTK.
Stake PC, PT, 10' Station, Radius Point, and PI.
Below is an example code and report from a LiDAR lab where we were tasked to:
Create a jupyter notebook script to analyze a given data set collected from a section of roadway right-of-way.
Plot charts of elevation v. location as well as offset v. location.
Create a report describing the importance of LiDAR to TxDOT and explaining the results of analysis.
