GEO-Instruments Application Notes

Railways

Robotic Total Station Systems

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.
