  1. Train for RP survey and visual inspection in LHCWorkshop on "Remote manipulations / diagnostics in radioactive areas and handling of radioactive material" - 6th May 2013 Bruno FERAL

  2. The TIM* 30 x 30: a remote controlled inspection vehicle for LHC tunnel : • Radiation + oxygen measurements • Visual Inspection with cameras (HD, infrared, etc) • Autonomous: Battery powered • Additional payload on demand 30cm 30cm *TIM: Train Inspection Monorail B. Feral

  3. Outline • History of the TIM • TIM main characteristics • TIM tests in LHC early 2013 • Development of TIM pre-series and series B. Feral

  4. History: • 2007 : TIM 1 - First proposal to develop a multipurpose service provider vehicle for LHC. • 2008: TIM 2 - survey • 2009: TIM 30x30 • Automatic opening in LHC ventilation door. • Control from CCC • Wagon RP • 2010 & 2011: TIM 30x30 • Tests & development • 2012: TIM 30x30 • Consolidation project: preparing for pre-series development Control / traction wagon Energy wagon B. Feral

  18. TIM tests in LHC early 2013 Objective : Operate and test TIM in LHC while the machine is in an operational state. How can we use the time between two fills in LHC ? Source : Alick McPherson, LMC 138 B. Feral

  19. TIM tests in pictures: B. Feral

  20. TIM “mini CCC” in building 927 LHC operation follow up RP data acquisition Control panel RAMSES TIM Operator B. Feral

  21. Results of tests in LHC: • Basic functionalities for the vehicle confirmed and tested. • Basic RP survey functionality available and tested. • TIM was operational for 20 days in LHC. • 12 successful surveys from point 5. • Number of hours of operation: 22 hours and 22 minutes. • Total distance covered during the tests: 48 km. • Time needed to survey a sector : 2 hours and 15 minutes • Almost 100% availability ! Start/End B. Feral

  22. LHC tunnel tests achievements: Network Connectivity DCUM readings Diagnostics Doors B. Feral

  24. DS R5 DS L6 ARC B. Feral

  25. Video tunnel B. Feral

  26. Outline • History of the TIM • TIM main characteristics • TIM tests in LHC early 2013 • Development of TIM pre-series and series B. Feral

  27. Development of TIM pre-series and series To provide remote inspections, radiological surveys in the entire LHC tunnel when the machine is not in access mode. Establish a reliable service that is fully automated and fully integrated in the LHC operational procedures and controls software and contributes to the full exploitation of the physics potential of the LHC.
