This master's thesis deals with the design, development and practical testing of an automated system for geodetic monitoring. In classical monitoring, the surveyor must be present at every repetition of the measurements, which is time-consuming for the surveyor when measurements are frequent. The aim of the thesis was to automate the repetitive part of the measurement process while preserving the professional role of the surveyor. The developed system connects a user computer with a web interface, a server application with a database, an execution unit on a Raspberry Pi device and a geodetic instrument. Through the web interface the user prepares and submits a command, which is stored on the server; the execution unit then takes over the command, communicates with the instrument via the GeoCOM protocol and returns the acquired measurements to the database. The system was tested by automatically performing hourly measurements using the set of directions method. The test showed that the designed architecture is suitable for a functioning system. Limitations of the prototype were also identified, primarily the dependence on a reliable power supply and the reliance on the communication protocol of a single manufacturer. The thesis demonstrates the feasibility of connecting geodetic instrumentation with modern web technologies and provides a basis for further development.
