Geodetic Monitoring System to Ensure Safe Operation of Infrastructure Facilities

Abstract

Laser scanning is one of the most developed and efficient methods for analyzing the conditions of infrastructure facilities and geodetic monitoring. Currently, the ground-based laser scanning methods are becoming extremely popular in performing various geodetic works. To prevent and monitor deformations and defects in infrastructure facilities, specialized equipment, including ground-based laser scanners are used when conducting geodetic monitoring. This article aims to develop a concept of a monitoring system for infrastructure facility conditions based on the 3-dimensional laser scanning technology and data processing in specialized software. The study focused on a transporting structure in Krasnodar (Turgenev bridge). This research results in the development of a regular monitoring system based on the 3-dimensional ground-based laser scanning technology that would help evaluate the conditions of infrastructure facilities and identify the type and the degree of the observed deformation processes. Annotation. Laser scanning is one of the most developed and effective methods of analyzing the state of infrastructure objects and geodetic monitoring. Currently, when performing various geodetic works, ground-based laser scanning techniques come to the fore. To prevent and control deformations and defects of infrastructure objects, geodetic monitoring is used with the help of specialized equipment, in particular using a ground-based laser scanner. The purpose of this article is to develop the concept of a system for monitoring the state of infrastructure facilities using three-dimensional laser scanning technology and processing the received data using specialized software. The object of research is an artificial road transport structure in Krasnodar (Turgenev bridge). The result of the research is the development of the concept of a system for periodic monitoring of the state of infrastructure facilities with the identification of the nature and degree of deformation processes occurring in them during operation, based on the use of three-dimensional ground-based laser scanning technology.
