Abstract:

The ILC requires an unprecedented accuracy and speed for the survey and alignment of its components. The Rapid Tunnel Reference Surveyor (RTRS) is a self-propelled train intended to automatically survey a reference network in the ILC tunnels with a design accuracy of 200 microns over distances of 600 m. A prototype RTRS has been built by the LiCAS collaboration. It will shortly commence operation at DESY. The operation principle of the RTRS will be explained. The status of the project's hardware, software and calibrations as well as the principles and performance of the underlying measurement techniques will be described.
