Applications and Limitations of Automated Motorized Total Stations
Automated Motorized Total Stations (AMTS) also known as Robotic Total Stations have now been utilized for monitoring industrial applications, and deformation of various civil structures for approximately seven years in the United States and eighteen years throughout the remainder of the world. Their use although not yet common place is becoming more extensive on both large and small projects as experience grows and practicing instrumentation professionals better understand their benefits. In this paper the authors will provide ten of the uses of AMTS for the monitoring of deformation of civil structures from across the United States. Although tunnel related projects have historically benefited the most from AMTS, examples of AMTS use in bridge construction, tall building thermal deformation monitoring, small private underpinning and railroad monitoring will be discussed. This paper will provide the practitioner a familiarity with currently available, practical uses of AMTS, database software, system power techniques and remote telemetry.
