Overview: This paper reports on research related to avoiding collisions in construction sites using differential GPS (Global Positioning System) technology. In this paper, the researchers developed and implemented a system where GPS technology was used in tracking a single vehicle and relaying its information to a central server. Using another simulated vehicle, the server evaluated collision scenarios and sent cautionary messages to the roving vehicle if a collision is impending. The paper concludes with a summary of the application, along with a discussion of the limitations of GPS technology and the required augmentation by other technologies.
