Abstract :
In the event of gas leaks, and other incidents, data reflecting the latest pipeline configurations are provided. The mobile mapping system in emergency maintenance vehicles was developed to meet the work-site requirements. Information being continually revised can be obtained by accessing directly the maintenance center database via a car telephone. Data stored in an on-board CD-ROM are displayed on a monitor. En route to the site, the date needed can be obtained through communication with the maintenance center. This enables a maintenance team to be mobilized more quickly. A prototype of the system has been completed and is undergoing field tests.<>
