Light Rail, Tram Tack and Turnout Geometry Measurement and Diagnostic Tools
The paper explains the need to collect and store track and turnout geometry information and how to determine their condition in the form of synthetic quality coefficients. Catenary data feature an example of the additional line information that can supplement the infrastructure information database. The concept of line-speed dependant track parameter tolerance values are presented in the paper. Analysis of the temporal trend of the track and switch geometry change calls for measurement data storage and analysis. The relevant database system is described along with the examples of queries. Real life examples and experience with this methodology of track and switch geometry parameter analysis in Poland and other EU countries are also presented. The diagnostic module indicates the “weak locations” in the track, which can be further analyzed in detail by the diagnostician.
