Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

771
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

454
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Engineering
  • Biomechanics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Ski design relies on time-consuming, iterative feedback loops involving design, manufacturing, and qualitative field evaluations.
  • Consumer ski selection is often inconsistent and expensive due to reliance on subjective qualitative assessments and variations in skier styles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel method for supplementing ski design and evaluation processes with objective, in-field data.
  • To introduce a modular sensor array for skis to capture performance characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a distributed Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) suite for skis.
  • Implementation of spatially distributed IMUs on the ski's upper surface.
  • Validation experiments and outdoor in-field testing in winter conditions.

Main Results:

  • The developed IMU system provides accurate, high-rate (>700 Hz) data.
  • The system enables measurement of both structural and rigid ski characteristics.
  • The sensor suite demonstrated robustness in repetitive outdoor winter testing.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed IMU system offers a viable solution for objective ski performance measurement.
  • This technology can enhance the ski design and evaluation process.
  • It has the potential to improve the consumer experience in selecting skis.
