Research abstract
What is needed is a lightweight system that can be deployed and used by one
person that will measure and compile the track geometry data and compute the MCO for a rail section in real time without reliance on any external reference. Such a device, the Mid-chord Rail Offset Measurement System (McROMS) is the subject of this proposal. But MCO is not the only rail geometry data of interest. If this system could concurrently measure other important rail characteristics such as individual rail cant and the track gage and super elevation between rails it would provide a very significant enhancement over current capabilities. The McROMS system offered by Technical Products Inc. (TPI) meets all these goals.
