| A '96 Suburban with hirail gear and a few added goodies to make it user friendly. |
|
|
Add an infrared measuring laser and a red rotating laser for ease of structure targeting and we have a clearance survey vehicle |
|
| The hardware all fits neatly on an aluminum tray. As it rolls along, the laser measures in a 270° arc across the front of the truck. |
|
|
This optical encoder is a .001 mile increment odometer and records right on the computer screen in the truck. |
|
| Ominous beast isn't it? The tiny mast is for laser self calibration. |
|
| Everything in it's proper place. You can see the encoder carrier for the odometer on the railwheel and both lasers and their associated wiring. |
|
| The software is displayed on a flatscreen monitor on the custom console using a minikeyboard and standard mouse. The computer is mounted in a std 19" industrial rackmount on top of the 110 volt inverter behind the back seat. Note the small box used for controlling the red laser. |
