AUTOMATION, BY MEANS OF AN ELECTRONIC COMPUTER, OF TECHNICAL TRAFFIC CHECKS WITH REGARD TO EXCEPTIONAL GAUGES OR TRANSPORT LOADS

AUTOMATIZZAZIONE, MEDIANTE, ELABORATORE ELETTRONICO, DEGLI ESAMI TECHNICI CONCERNENTI LA CIRCOLAZIONE AGLI EFFETTI DELLA SAGOMA DEI TRASPORTI ECCEZIONALI

The development of out-of-gauge loads, and the carrying out of the necessary controls connected with it, involving complicated procedures, pose new requirements from the technical and organizational point of view for a better satisfaction of client demand. The laboriousness and modalities of the examination of the possibilities of transit in relation to fixed-line installations have suggested recourse to the help offered by electronic technology in accordance with a specially studied program, which can be further developed. The new application, which is illustrated, permits the automation of these examinations, providing the running regulations that are to be observed with regard to the fixed obstacles and passing trains. It represents the beginning of new procedures which are much faster and simpler, corresponding to the requirements of the necessary development.
