DATA HANDLING OF HIGH-SPEED TRACK INSPECTION CAR

Measurement records made from the high-speed track inspection car are for two purposes, one of them is to defect and locate large track irregularities for preparation of the data necessary for spot maintenance. The other purpose is to give an overall information on the track irregularities found within a certain distance, as this helps service and maintenance planning. For the second purpose, however, records must be sorted, classified and processed statistically. The machine operation shows more stability than that of manual work and this is because the machine has no personal error. The machine has been employed officially since April 1961 and the inspection data over 40,000 km throughout Japan has been already handled. Therefore savings of man-power, cost and time to date have been very large.
