Assessment of the Track Geometry Quality from the Aspect of Safe and Reliable Operation of the Railway Track

The quality of railway track geometry is the significant parameter for track manager for planning repair works and track mainte-nance. Monitoring of the experimental sections around the portals of tunnel construction Turecky vrch carried out by DRETM is focused on long-term monitoring of track alignment design and geometry of the railway track (absolute and relative) with the standard structure of railway superstructure, slab track and transitional areas between these structures. Outputs presented in this paper follows the paper Evaluation of Track Design and Track Geometry of the Track with Unconventional Structure of Railway Superstructure (of authors J. Šestáková and M. Mečár) and presents partial results of the quality assessment of track sections after realizing six measurement cycles.
