The new RTP-300 high-speed surface profiler from Topcon
Positioning Systems collects surface data at speeds up to 65mph and creates an
exact model of the existing surface. Easily installed onto any vehicle with a
trailer hitch, the new profiler can produce both high-resolution topography
maps and industry-standard reports, such as PRI and IRI.
The RTP-300’s
data-collection system includes a Topcon GNSS dual-constellation satellite
receiver system, three laser profilers, wheel-encoder technology and
comprehensive software. The collected-data file can be used in Topcon’s
SiteMaster design software or any standard CAD software made for design
applications.
The profiler’s technology, said Topcon, provides the capability
to use the corrected design data on a paver, profiler or any machine-control system
to provide exact road data at every step of a construction project.
