The TSC trolley measures track geometry. The measurement
results include values of track gauge, cant, horizontal and vertical irregularities along with the calculated gradient and twist parameters.

LASER AND INERTIAL TECHNOLOGY TO MEASURE TRACK GEOMETRY AND RAIL WEAR
The Trackscan Cadd-e can measure continuously at speeds up to 16 km/h. The results are directly displayed on the operators monitor and automatically saved to memory. A precise inertial technolgy measures simultaneously for both rail courses. The supplied Dari® software allows for analysing the measurement results from any computer and can generate different reports.
The device meets requirements of the EN 13848 - 4 standard
Built-in functionality allows the user to compare measurements taken at different periods of time. All measurements are presented in the form of graphs with selected parameters exceeding the specified tolerance, there are also icons showing track defects observed by trolley operators during measurements. Track geometry reports can be saved in Word, Excel, PDF, CSV formats. The software enables exporting data and printing reports. The standard version of the software provides capabilities of generating reports for:
- Charting measurement data,
- The report numerical measurement results,
- The report defects,
-
The report performance indicators.
The system allows the measurement of the rail head cross-section. Measured results are automatically analyzed and parameters of wear are automatically calculated. The results of these calculations are presented in the form of graphs.
The software makes it possible to perform detailed analysis of selected cross-sections and compare them with nominal profiles. Results of railhead wear analyzes can be printed as reports or saved to DXF files.
