Project Description

We are developing a 3D sensor system and graphical display to assist caisson construction equipment operators in digging a 42m deep caisson. The results of the terrain mapping will be displayed in graphical form to human operators. These human operators are responsible for tele-operating excavating machines that are inside of the caisson. The human operators will be able to use the terrain mapped display of the caisson to locate potential problem areas within the caisson structure and to determine what areas are stopping the caisson from sinking into the earth.
