Track measuring laboratory “PLASSER & THEURER” EM-120

Tests of the railway track’s geometrical parameters are performed by the modernized track measuring laboratory “PLASSER & THEURER” EM-120, owned by TINSA EOOD, which is intended for measuring of the railway track’s geometrical parameters in a loaded state.

The Track Geometry Measurement System is contactless, inertial system designed to measure main track geometry parameters under loaded conditions in full compliance with the EN 13848 and the national rules. The system is installed on measurement vehicle operating on the standard track gauge (1435mm). TGMS is composed of two pairs of optical boxes and an inertial measurement unit. Each pair of the optical boxes is dedicated to one rail for the external and internal rail profile generation. Five main parameters are measured: Track gauge, Longitudinal level of each rail individually, Track twists, Track position in plane and Track cant. An individual chanel is generated for each of the measured parameters and the measured values are stored in the corresponding chanel. Each chanel could be visualized graphically by the multigraph, according to the necessity and tables are generated for the registered disturbancies.
