监视Melbourne’s railways

City infrastructures are not built overnight. In between planning, design and construction, there are other crucial activities – just like monitoring happening at the same time.

澳大利亚墨尔本的火车网络正在进行重大改造，并正在进行一些项目以帮助解决拥堵。为了改善墨尔本周围的旅行，维多利亚州政府正在消除危险且拥挤的铁路交叉路口，这将为驾驶员和行人提供重大安全改善。这个主要项目将为每天前往城市的成千上万的通勤者提供更多的频繁服务。

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。

To prepare for the busy piece of Melbourne’s railway infrastructure, the client turned to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。

Real-time monitoring with safety in mind

作为关卡拆除项目的一部分，Heading and Associates的团队的任务是监视两个站点的300多米铁路。为了实现这一目标，团队安装了一个自动监视系统，以监视24/7的铁路运动，包括Leica 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。

在某些情况下，应用传统手动监控可能不是一种实用方法，例如标题和员工团队正在解决的项目。该项目需要在白天进行许多观察，并且实施自动监控系统是有意义的，因为它对客户更具成本效益。

这Leica Geomosmonitoring solution was used to monitor movements 24/7, delivering the data required to analyse the railways’ track and quantify changes in geometry and receive real-time alerts.

“自动监视也意味着与白天和黑夜进行监控相比，这是一个更安全的解决方案 - 这意味着人员不必进入铁路走廊”, 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.

选择仪器时，即使仪器依靠仪器读取数百个棱镜，使用MS60和Thets60的关键因素是仪器的准确性，稳健性和长期服务间隔。这使得MS60和TS60成为标题和员工团队的首选总站。bob apple

电力和通信的一些因素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。

自动数据传递

为了向客户提供准确，及时的数据，团队使用了Geomos Monitor和GeoMoS Now! Using GeoMoS Monitor, the team set thresholds for three limit levels, and in case any of these were exceeded, the team and nominated recipients were able to receive an SMS and e-mail in real time immediately after breaches. GeoMoS Now! was used to analyse and visualise the data with the help of graphs, showing limit levels as a background colour.

这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,”佩恩添加了。

至理名言

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. Always consider the placement of instruments.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。该团队建议在开始之前拥有两到三周的数据来评估任何趋势，以便可以将其视为运动。他们在数据中所做的很多事情是趋势分析，如果项目限制允许，可以访问基线数据总是有帮助的。
