GEDO NovaTrack

GEDO NovaTrack is software for the semi-automatic calculation of new track alignments based on measurements captured with Trimble GEDO systems. It streamlines track design by converting field data into optimised, ready-to-use alignments.

This intelligent solution enables engineers to efficiently develop track proposals while accounting for existing infrastructure, automatically generating options that comply with railway standards and operational requirements.

AUTOMATED TRACK DESIGN AND ALIGNMENT SOFTWARE

 KEY BENEFITS

Today’s requirements for as-built track quality evaluation, line speed increase or routine tamping operations are raising the need for high quality and consistent track alignment data. This requires the definition of track geometry elements within a geodetic reference system.

Due to irregular maintenance or absence of a track trajectory reference in an absolute coordinate system, the track position is often negatively affected by deformations and settlements. This leads to a situation requiring the recalculation and optimisation of the track alignment to best fit the existing track position.

  •  Automatic and semi-automatic reverse calculation of track alignment.

  • Rebuilding an element geometry from curvature and directional diagrams.

  • Advanced field data filtering and geometry analysis using heuristic regression methods.

  • Import of background maps for horizontal and vertical clearance check.

  • Support of user profiles for geometry, speed, cant calculation and verification.

  • Calculation and graphics update on-the-fly.

  • Calculation of the design cant and speed.

  •  Full compatibility with Trimble GEDO track surveying and scanning systems.

INTELLIGENT TRACK DESIGN BASED ON AS-BUILT

Trimble GEDO technology provides fast and efficient solutions for capturing detailed information about existing railway tracks.

As part of the workflow, Trimble GEDO NovaTrack software automatically processes and analyses track measurement data—including coordinates, cant, and track gauge—to generate an optimised track alignment solution that best fits the existing infrastructure.
