Abstract

Method for determining relative position indication of a position in a track. Measured values of a plurality of objects in track construction are determined by a measuring device, which measured values describe at least one property of an object of the plurality of objects. The measured values are compared with reference measured values or a reference measurement range, or a measurement pattern of the measured values is compared with a reference measurement pattern of a selected reference object to select a single object from the plurality of objects, determining a degree of similarity between the selected object and the reference object, which reference object is stored as an immovable reference object in the database, which degree of similarity is determined computationally and is indicated by a numerical value. The position in the track is indicated by a vectorial distance between an origin point arranged at the object and the position.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for creating measurement data describing a railway network or a vehicle travelling on a track. Measurement values are detected by a sensor situated on the vehicle or on the track. A sensor processor in communication with the sensor requests a time value describing a time point and/or a position value describing a position and/or a measurement sample from a processor situated on the vehicle. The time value, the position value, and/or the measurement sample are transmitted from the processor to the sensor processor. The sensor processor assigns a measurement value to the time value, the position value, or the measurement sample, such that the time value, the position value, and/or the measurement sample describe a measurement time point or measurement position, and measurement data comprising the measurement value and the time value and/or the position value and/or the measurement sample are stored in a database.

Abstract

A method for determining an actual geometry of a track by a track inspection vehicle which is movable on the track, wherein reference points positioned in a lateral environment of the track are automatically recorded by a non-contacting recording system arranged on the track inspection vehicle and their respective actual distance from the track is determined. A three-dimensional trajectory of the track is recorded by an inertial measuring system arranged on the track inspection vehicle, wherein the trajectory is divided by a computing unit into trajectory sections each having a section starting point related to a first reference point and a section end point related to a second reference point, wherein a virtual longitudinal chord is defined for each trajectory section in relation to the assigned reference points, and wherein actual distances between the trajectory and the respectively defined longitudinal chord are calculated for each trajectory section.

Abstract

A system for navigating within a track network includes, as system components, a system central, a track maintenance machine and a communication device. The system central is set up for administering network data representing a model of the track network. The track maintenance machine is suited for treatment of track sections of the track network. The track maintenance machine includes a navigation device for processing navigation data derived from the network data. The communication device is provided for data exchange between the system central and the navigation device. The system includes at least one movable or stationary carrier platform with sensors for collecting raw data representing characteristic information of the track network. A big data framework is set up in the system central to evaluate the raw data and synchronize them with the network data. Automated updating of the network data can be carried out with the system.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of controlling a track maintenance machine, particularly a switch tamping- or universal tamping machine, which moves along a track and has working units, particularly a tamping unit and a lifting unit, which are adjustable relative to a machine frame, wherein position data of track objects, particularly sleepers, rails and optionally obstacles, are recorded by means of a sensor device in front of the working units in a working direction, and wherein operating positions of the working units are determined for a working operation at a track location. In this, prior to actuation of the working units, the determined operating positions of the working units are displayed by means of a display device, wherein, prior to carrying out the working operation, the operating positions of the working units can be changed by means of control elements. As a result of the display of the determined operating positions prior to the working operation, an operator is enabled to recognize possible misalignments before these become effective.

Abstract

A method of determining the actual position of a track relative to a fixed point located in a lateral vicinity of the track by using a registering device being mobile on the track includes surveying the position of the fixed point relative to the track. The registering device is moved along the track, image pairs of the lateral vicinity of the track are continuously recorded by a stereo camera system on the registering device and the fixed point is searched for in the image pairs by pattern recognition carried out in an evaluation device. Upon recognition of the fixed point, the position of the fixed point relative to the track is determined by evaluating at least one image pair. This creates the possibility of surveying fixed points in passing with the configuration of the fixed point not being bound to any special form. A measuring system is also provided.
