Measurement device and method for detecting a track geometry

Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring device (13) for recording a track geometry of a track (5) immediately after a treatment of the track (5) by means of track maintenance machine (1), wherein the measuring device comprises wheel axles (16) for travelling on the track (5), connecting elements (15) for mounting to the track maintenance machine (1) and a data interface (41) for exchanging data with the track maintenance machine (1). Further, the measuring device (13) comprises an assembly frame (22) on which an inertial measuring unit (14) is arranged, wherein a front wheel axle (16) and a rear wheel axle (16) are mounted on the assembly frame (22) for rotation relative to one another about an axis of rotation (21) extending orthogonally to the wheel axles (16). Thus, an efficient check measurement of the lateral, longitudinal and vertical position of the track (5) is possible.
