What
Track geometry measurement according to EN 13848
Latronix Track Measurement (LTM) is a complete solution for measuring track geometry in accordance with EN 13848. The measurements are contactless, through an inertial-based measurement system and can thus deliver data for all important track geometry properties, high accuracy, and minimal maintenance.
The system is suitable for performing loaded measurements in accordance with EN 13848-2 or EN13848-3, ensuring a more true reading of the track geometry condition than what can be provided by hand tools or trolleys.
The system can be permanently installed on dedicated measuring vehicles, trains in scheduled traffic, as well as rail-borne construction machines. Furthermore, a transferrable version is available that which is quickly installed where required.
Measurement and calculation
Measured parameters
According to EN13848:
- Horizontal Rail Alignment (right / left rail)
- Vertical Rail Alignment (right / left rail)
- Gauge
- Cant
- Twist
Others (selection):
- Curvature
- Rates of change
- TQI
- TQC
- Standard deviations
- Number of single errors
More than track geometry
Latronix systems for track and catenary measurement are modular. Several measurements can be combined on one and the same vehicle, and several measurement techniques can be combined in the same physical unit.
