| 103-0767-00L | Engineering Geodesy Lab | 4 credits | 3P | A. Wieser, R. Mautz | |
| Abstract | Development of concepts and solutions for challenging tasks in Engineering Geodesy using real-world examples | ||||
| Learning objective | The students learn to develop, assess and realize concepts and solutions for real-world problems in Engineering Geodesy. They advance the knowledge and skills which they have acquired in relation with geodetic metrology, engineering geodesy. They establish links between these subjects. Particular attention is paid to the selection of appropriate sensors and measurement systems, selection of appropriate measurement and data processing methods, end-to-end quality control, fulfillment of non-technical criteria, and to the documentation of the work. | ||||
| Content | Actual real-world problems are chosen for this lab depending on the number, background and experience of the students. In Fall 2016 one of the problems will be a study of the layout of railway tracks associated with changes of a train station, carried out under various technical and legal restrictions. An additional problem will be chosen in connection with current research projects within the Geosensors and Engineering Geodesy Group. Examples of such problems are: - high-precision transfer of coordinates and orientation through a long vertical shaft - monitoring of the deformation of an ice-palace - development of a 2D-machine-control-and guidance system - bridge vibration monitoring | ||||
| Lecture notes | Publications and documents are made available as needed depending on the selected tasks. | ||||
