Title: WORKSHOP SESSION 6: LOCATION REFERENCING AND GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS/GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AGE
Accession Number: 00721461
Record Type: Component
Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Workshop Session 6 began with the presentation of two papers on location referencing systems. This was followed by a panel discussion and the presentation of a third paper. Location referencing covers two subjects: location referencing method - the use of a set of field procedures to identify the location of any point; and location referencing system (LRS) - the use of a set of procedures to manage location referencing. The objective of an LRS is to designate the geographic position of specific locations on and off the highway. There are three types of LRSs: geodetic, which is based on latitude and longitude; geographic, which is based on mapping; and linear, which is based on locating by milepost or other linear measuring device.
Supplemental Notes: The proceedings of the Third International Conference on Managing Pavements is published in three volumes. Volumes 1 and 2, published prior to the conference, include papers to be presented at the conference. Volume 3, published after the conference, contains the opening and closing plenary session addresses, keynote presentations, several invited papers, and results of the various workshops.
