RouteScan - ABT4650 Product Information

RouteScan has been developed to provide quick, accurate gauging clearance measurements relative to the permanent way. The gauge self-locates on the track and can be operated from a position of safety via a wireless Bluetooth™ connection from a handheld PDA. X/Y coordinate points are measured using a laser which rotates through 360°. RouteScan is also able to measure Track Gauge and Super-Elevation. Data recorded by RouteScan is compatible with MS Excel™ and ClearRoute™ and is easily transferred to a PC via USB.

RouteScan Product Functions

RouteScan is exceptionally light; weighing only 9.5kg; this makes it suitable for use in areas of live traffic. It is fully non-conductive preventing track circuit problems and also makes it suitable for use in areas with live conductor rails or OHL.

Measurement locations are referenced to the head and running edge of the datum (cess) rail. As well as being able to record a series of single point locations; RouteScan also offers an automated feature whereby a gauging profile scan of a structure can be taken. The operator is able to set the required recording interval together with a start and end angle.

RouteScan utilises high quality optics which ensure that it is able to measure on the various structure surfaces found in the railway environment. Typically a 180 point measurement profile will take approximately 45 seconds to complete when scanning a brick arch tunnel.

Measurements can be taken Relative to the plane of the rails or as absolute positions (true vertical & horizontal) meaning that the output data is suitable for maintenance, renewals or design purposes.
