How it works

A practical route from project question to clear output

Start with the operational objective and the data already available. The analysis scope and suitable deliverables can then be defined without adding unnecessary complexity.

Describe the operation

Provide the work area, operational objectives, expected vehicle position or route and relevant positioning requirements.

Provide available data

Typical inputs may include transponder coordinates, points of interest, routes, bathymetry or DTM data, water depth, vehicle height above seabed, equipment information and known operational constraints.

Analysis and review

LBL Insight evaluates coverage, geometry, relevant degraded cases and expected performance using clearly documented assumptions.

Receive practical outputs

Receive maps, results and recommendations in a format suitable for project planning, procedures or technical discussions.

Typical input data

Use the information the project already has

Not every assessment requires every input. Available data and its limitations are reviewed before the analysis assumptions are set.

Proposed or existing transponder coordinates
Work-area coordinates, route or alignment
Bathymetry/DTM in a commonly used format
Points of interest
Intended vehicle height above seabed
Acoustic equipment and ranging information, if available
Required accuracy or project tolerances
Relevant installation and operational constraints
Initially send a project summary rather than confidential or large datasets. Appropriate data-transfer arrangements can be agreed before detailed files are shared.
