Track Geometry Measurement

Track geometry measurement involves assessing the physical condition of railway tracks to ensure safety and smooth operation. It uses specialized tools and devices to evaluate key features such as alignment, elevation, curvature, and gauge (distance between rails). These measurements help identify irregularities or defects that could cause derailments or delays. Modern systems may include sensors or automated vehicles that scan tracks while trains pass, providing real-time data for maintenance teams. Regular monitoring ensures tracks meet safety standards, preventing accidents and maintaining efficient train service.
