Rail wear status measurement procedure uses lightweight measurement wagon with laser and measurement wheel sensors for continuous longitudinal and intermittent cross section recording

摘要

A rail wear status measurement procedure uses a lightweight flexible measurement wagon (1) with undamped laser (7) scanner (8) and other sensors (9) to take a continuous length measurement profile with cross section measurements when stationary which are processed and used to display (12) the rail status over the entire measured length. Includes Independent claims for equipment using the procedure.
