Abstract
An automated stringline installation system includes a vehicle, a 3D control system, at least partly carried by the vehicle, for determining location information, and an adjustable arm assembly, mounted on the vehicle, that identifies the location of a relative point in a stringline installation using the location information determined by the 3D control system. The adjustable arm assembly includes an operational arm having a proximal end and a distal end, a string, dispensed from the operational arm, for use in a stringline installation, and a sensor used to determine information pertaining to the location of the distal end of the operational arm assembly relative to the proximal end of the operational arm.

24. An automated system for installing a stringline that may subsequently be utilized to guide a paving machine during operation thereof, comprising:
-
a vehicle; a 3D control system, at least partly carried by the vehicle, for determining geodetic information regarding the location of at least a portion of the vehicle; and an adjustable arm assembly, mounted on the vehicle, that uses the geodetic location information determined by the 3D control system to identify the location of a point in the stringline that is being installed, thereby facilitating the installation of the stringline.
