Abstract

The running rails together with sleepers and the contact rail in the subway or the contact wire on the railway and tram tracks are a single complex that creates the necessary conditions for the movement of rail electric transport. The operation of these facilities requires constant monitoring of the technical condition of rail structures. The relative position of the height of the running rails, the curvature of the latter, and the width of the rail gauge are subject to unauthorised changes. Objective. The paper analyses devices for controlling deviations in the position of rail tracks, which contain a light emitter with a position controller and a platform moving along the beam. The disadvantage of these devices is insufficient functionality on curved sections. Operation. The task was set to develop a device for measuring the parameters of railways with increased accuracy and enhanced functionality. Results. A movable device for monitoring deviations in the position of rail tracks using an optical laser system and a group of photodetectors was developed and described. The developed device belongs to rail transport, namely, to the means of monitoring the state of the rail track in operation, and can be used on land railway transport, subway and tramways of the city.
