PURPOSE:To enable measurement even during high speed running of 300km or more, by defining the distance between the perpendicular facing surface to the side surface of a rail at one point among two points of a rail surface spaced apart by a base line length from each other and the other point as passage and continuously measuring this passage. CONSTITUTION:The rail replacements (a), (b) based on a vehicle body and the angle phi of revolution of the vehicle body to the reference perpendicular surface of a gyroscope are converted into voltages by a gyro-selsyn 2' while said voltages are converted into digital values by an A/D converter 19. Subsequently, (b-a)/l (wherein l is the segment connecting two points on the side surface of a rail), the angle phi formed by the segment (l) and the long axis of the vehicle body and the angle theta formed by the segment (l) and an absolute reference perpendicular surface are respectively calculated by an operator 20, an operator 21 and an operator 22, and the direction of the perpendicular facing surface at each measuring point on the side surface of the rail is calculated by a moving average operator 25. In this case, operations are performed in synchronous relation to the distance pulse generated at every definite running distance by a pulse generator 33. The angle thetai' formed by the segment (l) and the reference perpendicular surface is calculated by an operator 26 and long wavelength passage ai=ltanthetai' is calculated by an operator 27. The passage ai is outputted as it is and, at the same time, sent to a difference operator 36 and difference DELTAai is calculated and converted into an analogue signal by a D/A converter 31 to be outputted.
