The initial georeferenced scanning of the profiles is considered
as the reference section line for comparison with the scans that
eventually will follow.

From this data the absolute movement of the tunnel can be
evaluated, as well as the relative convergences in each section.

Clearance

Besides knowledge of track geometry, complete knowledge of Clearance Sections
the utilizable clearance in the rail network is absolutely essential
for reasons of safety and economy.
Working with kinematic or stop & go mode, mobile scanning
data can be collected for rail tracks environment, regardless in
tunnel or not.

Using the predefined clearance envelope, the system can give to
the operator on-the-fly information about the obstacles violating
the train’s free profile. The scanning data can be also stored for
further analysis and documentation.

Numerical data concerning the allocated obstacles can be Clearance projection map
presented in 2-D profiles and “iso-violation” curves in 2-D map
projection of the tunnel surface. This gives at a glance the
location and the size of the problem.

Applying this methodology we benefit:

• Speed – minimum time presence in track
• Safety – minimum personnel presence in track
• Full profile measuring
• Real Time allocation of obstacles
• Fully automated recordings
Tempi rails clearance control
• Easy to use documents
• Real Time gauging results
