Real-time GNSS · central server · settlement trend analysis — airports, ports, soft ground

Field GNSS, central server, monitoring and forecast
Overview — field GNSS → central server → monitoring and forecast

Overview

Rover (wireless settlement meter) measures settlement in real time by GNSS; base station and central server provide monitoring and trend data. Detail in the pamphlet below

  • Real-time GNSS — solar and LTE unmanned automatic measurement
  • Central server — collection, quality control, storage
  • Trend analysis and forecast — residual settlement trend and reports

Applications

Airports, ports, soft ground, dams — infrastructure requiring settlement management
