Sign Management Program – Minimum Reflectivity Standards
Agencies must have a sign management program in place to insure that signs along roadways meet certain minimum retro-reflectivity standards. In 2008, the FHWA required that state and local agencies must assess and develop a sign replacement plan by January 2012. Non-compliant warning and regulatory signs must be in compliance by 2015 and [...]

Data Collection and Positioning Yield
Traditional data collection software used fixed masks (satellite elevation level, SNR values, PDOP,etc.) to determine which GPS satellite signals to shield. Although this insured that most poor signals were rejected, it also caused many perfectly usable signals to be ignored. Because the new Trimble postprocessing engine achieves better [...]
