DOT TEST TRAIN PROGRAM

The progress report covers a 12-month activity period covering engineering and data management in conjunction with operation of rail research test cars, and discusses research and analysis work in fields associated with rail research. Developments include an operational prototype track geometry measurement system, various track measurement techniques and formalization of operating procedures. Existing data processing routines were improved and new ones were developed. Demonstration of and routine testing with the track geometry system was performed for a number of different organizations.
