1. A measurement vehicle in which a measurement system for movement measurement is installed, the measurement vehicle comprising:
processing circuitry:
to manage movement measurement status data indicating a status of the movement measurement;
to acquire measurement environment data indicating a measurement environment from the measurement system and to transmit the acquired measurement environment data and the movement measurement status data to a base station, the base station being for displaying a remote management screen indicating various status information;
to receive movement measurement instruction data indicating an instruction on the movement measurement from the base station, for operating the movement measurement system while driving the measurement vehicle; and
to control the measurement system and change settings of the measurement system in accordance with the instruction indicated by the received movement measurement instruction data, wherein
the measurement environment data includes
vehicle position data indicating a position of the measurement vehicle,
instrument status data, the instrument status data being data indicating a status of each of one or more measurement instruments that are included in the measurement system and data including error-related information, and
positioning condition data, the positioning condition data being data indicating a condition of satellite positioning that is a part of the movement measurement and data including information specifying whether the satellite positioning is possible, the movement measurement status data includes
satellite positioning status data indicating whether the satellite positioning is in progress, and
surroundings measurement status data indicating whether surroundings measurement that is a part of the movement measurement is in progress, and the processing circuitry is further to:
receive measurement plan data indicating a measurement route including one or more measurement sections from the base station,
judge whether the measurement vehicle passes through a start point of any measurement section on the basis of the measurement plan data, making the measurement section a target measurement section, and activating a measurement start order to the measurement system instrument group in response to the measurement vehicle passing through the start point,
judge whether the measurement vehicle passes through an end point of the target measurement section on the basis of the measurement plan data and vehicle position data and activating a measurement end order to the measurement system instrument group in response to the measurement vehicle passing through the end point, and
controls the measurement system such that the satellite positioning is started before an automatic management process and an automatic control is started and ends after the automatic management process ends.
