监视墨尔本的铁路

Case study

城市基础设施并非一夜之间建造。在计划,设计和施工之间,还有其他关键活动 - 就像同时进行监控一样。

The train network in Melbourne, Australia, is getting a major revamp with several projects in progress to help tackle congestion. To improve travel around Melbourne, the Victorian Government is removing dangerous and congested rail level crossings, which will deliver significant safety improvements for drivers and pedestrians. The major project will enable more frequent services for thousands of commuters travelling to the city every day.

此外,地铁隧道项目将为大都市网络增加新的地下车站和下一代高容量的火车 - 释放了墨尔本铁路网络上更多的火车。这也意味着将安装下一代,高容量的信号传导,从而使火车可以安全地靠近,更频繁地将火车运行。

为了准备繁忙的墨尔本铁路基础设施,客户转向标题和同事,专业的调查和项目管理公司专门从事调查,建筑监督,财产和环境调查以及设计应用程序,以执行铁路轨道监控。


考虑安全的实时监控



As part of the Level Crossings Removal Project, the team at Heading and Associates was tasked to monitor more than 300 meters of rail across two sites. To deliver this, the team installed an automated monitoring system to monitor rail movement 24/7, including aLeica Nova MS60andLeica Nova TS60总站和部署了178个左撇子地理系统,监视安装在轨道上的棱镜,以在白天和晚上30分钟的频率下监视。

In some circumstances applying traditional manual monitoring may not be a practical approach, such as the project that the Heading and Associates team were tackling. The project required many observations during the day and implementing an automated monitoring system made sense as it’s more cost effective for the client.

TheLeica Geomos监视解决方案用于监视24/7的移动,提供分析铁路轨道并量化几何变化并接收实时警报所需的数据。

“Automating monitoring also means it is a safer solution than conducting monitoring during the day and night – it means that personnel do not have to enter the rail corridor”, said Michael Payne, Heading and Associates monitoring and laser scanning specialist. For our client, this makes it a more cost-effective solution over the length of the project as there are no applications for safety permits or additional resources required such as Track Force Protection Coordinators.

When choosing the instruments, the key deciding factors to use the MS60 and theTS60 are the instruments’ accuracy, robustness and long servicing intervals, even when the instruments are relied on to read hundreds of prisms in tight corridors. This makes the MS60 and TS60 the go-to monitoring total stations for the Heading and Associates team.



Power and communication were some of the factors considered when planning for the project. More specifically, the team needed to install solar systems to run the instruments as there was no 240V power supply on the project site. If the team needed any technical support, they knew they could rely on Leica Geosystems Australian distribution partner C.R. Kennedy.

C.R.肯尼迪在特定于监视应用程序的太阳能和数据传输解决方案方面的经验至关重要。通过Leica Comgate使用4G网络简化了一个原本复杂的通信过程。


Autonomous data delivery



To deliver accurate and timely data to the client, the team used a combination of GeoMoS Monitor andGeoMoS Now呢使用Geomos监视器,团队将阈值设置为三个极限级别,如果超过这些限制,则团队和提名的接收者能够在违规后立即实时接收SMS和电子邮件。现在的怪异!被用来借助图来分析和可视化数据,显示极限水平作为背景颜色。

The Heading and Associates team embraced automation even when it came to representing data in a graphical format. Using GeoMoS Now! the team created a report template and scheduled it to be generated and sent via email daily.

“What we really like about the solution is that we can automate the report creation. The visual and graphical representation makes it simple for our end-user to interpret and see on the graph the movement of each individual point in relation to where the alert levels are – including automatically-emailed reports every morning as well as a weekly reporting of data”said Payne.

I have worked with automated monitoring across various projects since 2012, and it has come a long way. All the reporting is shared with the clients – it’s our main deliverable. Leica GeoMoS is easy to use; it is user friendly and we can easily input all the parameters we need. The integration from GeoMoS Monitor to GeoMoS Now! makes it easier to gather and present information concisely to our clients,”Payne added.


Words of wisdom



We asked Michael Payne if he had any practical advice to share with fellow industry professionals considering automated monitoring.

佩恩分享了他的前两名:

  1. 始终考虑放置乐器。监视点之间的角度可能会使系统的效率很大,在这种情况下是棱镜的位置。对于这个项目,团队确保将仪器放置在远离目标站点的上方。

  2. 良好的数据基线很重要. The team suggest having two to three weeks of data prior to their commencement of to assess any trends so that they can be eliminated from being considered as movement. A lot what they do with data is trend analysis and having access to baseline data is always helpful if the project constraints allows it.
