first Mobile LiDAR vehicle. A support structure was built to raise the sensors an additional 1.5' for better line of sight. We had custom drawers fabricated for our GPS and survey equipment. And the electrical system of the vehicle was upgraded to provide consistent, reliable power to the system. The installation took place at our Beaver, PA office on September 12th.
We had 4 Baker staff assist with the install: Aaron Morris - Program Manager, Stephen Clancy - Vehicle Manager, Justin Thornton - Vehicle Operator and Mark Anderson - Processing Technician. The team made quick work of the installation and stocking of the vehicle with supplies. Following the installation, we performed calibration drives and began testing.
Is the data used as more of an inventory tool rather than a design tool?
ReplyDeleteScott,
ReplyDeleteThe measurements are "survey accurate" therefore the data obtained for the system can be applied to both inventory, design and survey projects. Usually when talking "inventory", people also infer "low cost". Although, per hour, this system has a higher charge, we can easily identify at what point there is a break-even and production gain with this system over traditional methods.
