Leistungsfähigkeit von geodätischen Monitoringsystemen

Performance of Geodatic Monitoring Systems

Geodetic monitoring systems in these present days exhibit an extremely high level of automation. Commercial total solutions can be efficiently customised toward the individual demands of the object monitoring. A technical structure or a ground level surface can be analysed through the precise definition of the monitoring parameters, the observation of designated measuring points within the object measured and the description of the dynamic evaluation model. A variety of geodetic and geotechnical measuring sensors are available for the determination of geometrical changes within the object monitored. This article addresses the efficiency and performance of the monitoring systems with geodetic measuring instruments. High-end instruments are utilised in most applications of geodetic monitoring. In the process, the exact data analysis, as for example with deformations, crackings or oscillations, must be conducted individually. Another challenge is the automated processing of the enormous amount of observation data. The visualisation of the monitoring status and a suitable alarm through the network serves for a continual quality control. In addition, the reliability of the entire system must be ensured. For further distribution and reinforced application within the construction industry, mechanical engineering or within the various geosciences, these complex systems must increasingly be adapted to user needs. In addition, a reinforced integration of low cost-measuring systems is necessary.
