Abstract:

This project investigated portable track geometry measurement systems and their applicability to transit operations and developed performance guidelines and testing requirements for use by transit agencies in evaluating and selecting a portable track geometry system. The research was conducted under TCRP Project D-7 and included the following tasks: a review of portable geometry systems currently available, discussions with transit agencies to determine industry needs, development of performance guidelines that can be used by transit agencies to evaluate and validate system performance, and development of test procedures and requirements that can be used by transit agencies to evaluate and validate system performance. This digest presents the project findings for each of these tasks.
