2122 Trimble's sophisticated TSC3 controller is designed to allow surveyors and geospatial professionals to collect, share and deliver data. This unit is said to improve accuracy, efficiency and productivity between the field and office and is designed to be used with the Trimble Access software. The TSC3 controller offers fast and reliable data collection, computing and connectivity capabilities and provides multiple functions in a single handheld device. The unit incorporates a digital camera, integrated communications as well as a GPS navigator, compass and accelerometer.

Using this device, surveyors can include on-site photos in surveys, communicate efficiently between field and office and streamline stakeout activities. The durable Trimble TSC3 controller has a high-resolution, sunlight-readable touchscreen display, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless capabilities and long battery life. Users can also choose either a QWERTY or ABC alphanumeric keyboard.

Delivered with Trimble Access software installed as well as the capability to run third-party applications on the Windows platform, the TSC3 is a comprehensive data collection solution for the survey industry. The Trimble TSC3 controller has wireless Internet connectivity through either the integrated GSM/GPRS modem or Wi-Fi. Data collection, processing, analysis, and delivery duties are said to be faster and more efficient.

    At what point does ‘some technology’ become ‘enough technology’? Less than four years ago industry publications were filled with a persistent message, the reluctance of UK based contractors to adopt machine control to the same extent as near European neighbours, particularly close ones such as Ireland and Holland. However from 2009 onwards we have seen a huge shift in demand for machine control as the success of high profile road and rail jobs such as the M25 widening scheme and Airdrie – Bathgate rail

    There is a global need for more intelligent traffic management and enhanced road safety, fuelled by data collection and the useful interpretation of that data into real-time information that provides for effective action by traffic engineers. The prevailing transportation paradigm, one-person-one-vehicle, is forcing the multimodal traffic infrastructure to its limits. With continuous congestion, longer commute times, and increased accidents, agencies are tasked with finding solutions without escalating thei
