In order to ensure the safe passage of over 60 trains per
day, the owner planned on monitoring construction of the
new underpass with traditional survey methods, but did
not want to have a survey crew on hand to conduct the survey
of 90 point points every hour. Traditional robotic systems
also do not provide for the automated processing of
new data. This creates a daunting and labor intensive problem
for today's monitoring applications.
However, with the use of a field-based system consisting of a remotely controlled
robotic theodolite, wireless IP connection, and power
supply, Geo-Instruments provided an automated, real time unattended
solution.
