"Before T4D Rail, all values had to be defined with
calculation sensors. In this project, around 100
profiles were monitored," von Matt said.
Without T4D Rail, the setup would have taken
Wild Ingenieure around two to three days.
"In this case, we did that entire setup in one
morning. Data collection was five night shifts of
four hours. Setup was one day for everything,
including plans and protocols. It's like using a
smartphone; it's just really easy and very, very
fast," von Matt concluded.
Targeted solutions like T4D Rail simplify the
management of diverse project needs and robust
calculations. This includes personalized settings for
rail geometry parameters, like height reference,
diverse twist calculation methods, the ability to
export detailed deliverables, the ability to replace
a destroyed prism (sensor in T4D) and more. With
this software solution, you can adapt to a variety
of different project requirements using a single
platform, resulting in cost and resource savings.
To monitor rail tracks near a
construction site for several weeks,
the team at Wild Ingenieure set up
five total stations near the existing
rail to monitor movement, using the
Trimble Access Track Gauge Survey
app to collect and T4D Rail to manage
and analyze the data.
