Track measurement

The TRACKGAUGE DIGITAL (TGD) portable measuring device evaluates the track and switch geometry. The device is lightweight, reliable, easy-to-use, and measures very accurately the track gauge, the cant and horizontal and vertical irregularities, and also the left and right flangeways in switches, as well as check gauge values. It is operated by an application on the Android smartphone.

The measurement data is displayed immediately, additional information on the infrastructure, including the results of the visual inspection, is recorded in a digital format. The measurement reports are created on the smartphone by the GOLDSCHMIDT DIGITAL APP. The measurement data is uploaded directly to our database solution DARI® so the data can be analyzed and accessed globally.

 

The gauge is supplied with the GeoTEC System software (for PCs) enabling, among other things, the graphic presentation and comparison of measurement results as well as the printing of measurement reports. Measurement results are also available in the tabular form containing track defect locations. Measurement data can be exported in MS Word, MS Excel and PDF formats.

In addition, the turnout module of the GeoTEC System software can be used to modify and create new sets of characteristic points, including information about measured parameters, nominal values and allowed tolerances in relation to various types of turnouts.
