QUANTIFIED GEOMETRIC STATE OF RAILROAD TRACKS

L'ETAT GEOMETRIQUE QUANTIFIE

General principles and methods of statistical analysis of railway track displacements adopted by the Swiss railways are given. The tracks are automatically tested by means of a track inspection car equipped with an analyzer. Statistical properties of discrete data distribution, and the algorithm of the analysis are discussed. Graphs are presented illustrating the analytical results of the track inspection.
