Abstract: | A global positioning system (GPS)-based online control and alarm system (GOCA) for monitoring of three-dimensional movements
has been developed at the Karlsruhe University of Technology. The GOCA hardware consists of an array of GPS sensors and communication
units to be placed in the monitoring area. The hardware-dependent control software communicates with the GPS sensors and provides
the GPS baseline data and covariance information to the GOCA deformation analysis software. The GOCA center, which comprises
both the control software and the GOCA software, may be linked – for example, over a long distance – to another personal computer
(PC) that serves as a remote control station. GOCA is able to provide the full capabilities of classical deformation analysis
online (with stations grouped into stable points and moving object points). Both types of points may be occupied either continuously
or over short periods at different times. The object points are determined with respect to the stable points. A network adjustment
is performed for each interval of data collection, and the coordinate and covariance information may optionally be transformed
into a specific reference system (e. g., the building system). Unstable reference points are to be detected by statistical
tests. The estimated object point time series are filtered with respect to gross errors using robust estimation techniques.
Online filters are used to smooth the time series data of critical displacements and to predict other deformation functions.
The time series data, as well as prediction results, are displayed graphically for each object point. An example concerning
the online monitoring of a slag heap in a coal-mining area is included. ? 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
