Timeline of Technology
1904: “Telemobiloscope” (first form of RADAR sensor) developed by Christian Huelsmeyer.
1917: Albert Einstein first theorized about the process that makes lasers possible.
1960: Operable laser invented by Theodore Maiman.
1960: The first navigation satellite TRANSIT IB is launched for use by the U.S. Navy to accurately locate ballistic missile submarines and ships.
1969: Scientist measure the distance between the earth and moon.
1978: The first GPS Block I satellite is launched. Block I comprised of 10 developmental satellites launched from 1978 through 1989.
1983: President Ronald Reagan declassifies NAVSTAR; GPS becomes available to civilians.
1990: NAVSTAR GPS becomes operational.
1990s: LiDAR sensors capable of up to 25,000 pulses per second commercially available.

Gimbal Video
TASE 150TASE stabilized camera gimbals are designed to support the aerial oil/gas pipeline and electrical transmission and distribution inspection mission. Pipeline and power line owners rely on airborne imaging to identify and document issues along their property right-of-way.
Using high-quality daylight and thermal imagery, TASE gimbals provide a reliable asset for airborne inspection of pipeline & power lines for early detection of failure points, right-of-way monitoring, vegetation management, supplementing LiDAR operations, storm response and recovery, as well as pipeline leaks or oil spills.

Limitations of Mobile Scanning
Advantages of Mobile Scanning
• Safety
• Schedule
• Survey Grade Accuracy
• Data extracted with calibrated photos
• Cost Effective because more efficient data collection equates to cost saving
• “Scan in the Can” lends to future data extraction without further field visits
• Video & Imagery
• Deliverables in standard formats

Purpose of Project
Provide on-site positional references of the corridor boundary for future railroad engineering and planning.
Encourage use of edge of corridor monumentation for safety reasons, in lieu of track centerline.
To establish permanent railroad corridor monumentation, thereby reducing track shift errors associated with future improvements.
