The Callisto Hy-Rail track geometry measurement system allows for simplified track geometry measurement to be made from most standard hy-rail vehicles. This small, compact system measures and exception process standard FRA required track geometry channels at both low and hy-rail speeds. 

This compact system measures all FRA required track geometry channels, and generates reports containing strip charts, curve tables and defect list, according to FRA track class.

 

 

Callisto track geometry measurement systems incorporate an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a laser/camera based gage reference system, and GPS within a rugged, compact package to accurately locate and measure the geometry of the track. Typical geometry channels are recorded based on the application and can include: gauge, alignment, curvature, surface, cross-level, super-elevation, warp and twist. For inspection applications, track geometry channels are processed to produce exceptions in real-time.
