Minnesota, Dixon Hoyle
MnDOT performed a GPS survey at 25 km intervals
• around 350 stations
• adjustment completed
• 2 cm ellipsoid heights achieved
MnDOT performing 2nd-order Class I levels to GPS stations
• about 1/2 completed
MnDOT also leveling to ARP of 52 VRS stations
• about 30 completed
Minnesota, Dixon Hoyle
MnDOT VRS network
• Ferris State University Students observe 206 km of 2nd Order Leveling
• Data Sheets and OPUS provide SPC (int’l ft.)
• Michigan CORS offers RTK via Digital Cellular Technology (where available)
• $400,000 SPR Funds for Height Modernization FY 05
• $900,000 SPR Funds for Height Modernization FY 06
• Hold two Height Modernization Forums (1 LP and 1 UP)

Illinois, Chris Pearson
Height Modernization in Illinois• Significant progress has been made in establishing
a height modernization program in Illinois– Identified a state agency willing to take the lead– Established a coordinating council of
representatives from state agencies (IDOT, IDNR, ISGS and the state water survey)
– Developed a draft statement of need– Presentations to members of the state political
establishment– Identified a member of the Illinois congressional
delegation who has offered to support the program
Illinois, Chris Pearson Other activities• Project submission
– Numerous projects for IDOT– Commemorative marks
• National adjustment– Series of seminars for universities in the Midwest
• Purdue and UW so far– SLIS Paper
• Regular lectures in Geodesy and GPS for Illinois Universities– UIUC, SIU and NIU– Parkland Community College, ICCC, Rend Lake Community
College• Short courses on GPS and Least square adjustments IPLSA annual
meeting• Short course on “Geodesy for geographers” for ILGISA• Short course on PAGES processing for NCAT
Ohio, Dave ConnerGreat Lakes ProjectMore than an NGS project...
• One of the largest cooperative GPS projectsever undertaken by NOS• Organized under the auspices of theInternational Joint Commission'sGreat Lakes Coordinating Committee• Designed to maintain accurate height relationshipsbetween U.S. and Canadian water level gauges,the International Great Lakes Datum (IGLD85) and the NAVD88• Spans 8 states and 2 Canadian provinces• 34 receivers on the US side, about 8 in Canada• U.S. observers include 11 from NGS (including five Advisors),2 private sector volunteers (organized thru State Advisor contacts)and the rest made up of State Agency volunteers.
Ohio DOT CORS Network
• 51 stations
• Nation’s first statewide RTK GPS Infrastructure
• Statewide VRS capability
• Planning is underway to run levels to ARP of all ODOT CORS
