     Influence of machine guidance on productivity in earthworks.

Abstract:

The influence of 3D machine guidance systems, specially GPS guidance
systems, on productivity in earthworks, has not been quantified, or an
attempt made to establish what parameters it are that are influenced by
using a guidance system.  The thesis tries to answer the question, "Should
the earthworks contractor buy a machine guidance system?"  If the answer is
yes, then the following question should be, "When and what system to buy".
