Summary: | This study centralizes on the development of volume estimation calculation platform for earth
engineering work. Estimation and comparison were done by using Foresight Civil Design and
Survey (CDS) and Mathematica 7.0 software. Currently, Land Surveying companies are using
Foresight Civil Design and Survey (CDS) software for its speed and automation. There are two
methods used in Mathematica 7.0, which are Rational Quadratic Bezier Curve and Rational
Cubic Bezier Curve. From this research, Rational Cubic Bezier Curve show its total hill
measurement (volume) is nearer to value using Foresight Civil Design and Survey (CDS)
software. Therefore, the Rational Cubic Bezier Curve is an alternative method to estimate the
volume of the hill. The discrepancy between Rational Cubic Bezier Curve and Foresight Civil
Design and Survey (CDS) mainly caused by curve tolerance has been generalized in Rational
Cubic Bezier Curve.
