Abstract

When Alberta Transportation & Utilities' (AT&U) original videolog system was in need of a total upgrade, Global Positioning System (GPS), a powerful location reference systems, was perceived to be an emerging technology that could play an integral part in the new videolog system. A department-wide strategy paper identified the different areas of the department that could benefit from using GPS, out of which the GPS Videolog System (GVLS) was considered a high priority project. In 1992, work began to make this integrated GPS videolog vehicle a reality. At this writing, the van has now been built and is criticised for testing and fine-tuning of its systems components. The overall objective was to design and build a completely new multi-purpose videolog vehicle that could take a video inventory of the highway images for transporation engineering purposes, and that additionally, included new technologies such as GPS to support other applications.
