PAUSS-B is a modern system for decentralized archiving, visualization, structural analysis, and further processing of hydrographic water measurement data.

Various 2D and 3D views are available for the structural analysis of the measurement data, which can be enriched with additional factual data, such as fairway dimensions or digital terrain models. For this purpose, all legacy data was migrated to PAUSS-B. Using different layers, 2D data can be displayed in plan, elevation, or profile views, for example.
Based on the visualizations or using the raw data sets, the user can perform various calculations, analyses, auxiliary functions, or evaluations. These include, for example, statistical evaluations, the editing of terrain models, the calculation of depth lines, the planning of areas for dredging or removal for excavation measures, or evaluations for sediment management.
Tool windows with the various process parameters are provided for the different tasks. At the end of a process, the user has the option of saving all process parameters as a template. Based on this template, they can repeat the same process with identical inputs and only need to make a few (or no) adjustments. The tool windows can be linked together as a process chain so that users can define and preconfigure entire process chains for their data sets.
The predicted data volumes require a modular and scalable software architecture that can be easily adapted to new conditions. The various data evaluations are therefore grouped into projects that place the generally applicable factual and metadata and the specially measured, evaluated, and calculated data in the required context.
Depending on the requirements of the respective locations, the system can be installed on a single workstation PC or distributed across several computers. The associated installation routine offers automatic installation for every working environment, which can be carried out easily.
