US 11,255,055 B2 · Method and system for maintenance of a permanent way for rail vehicles

Abstract

A method for maintenance of a permanent way, roadway or travel path for rail vehicles includes determining the actual condition of the permanent way by using a measuring system to record measurement data. Objects along the permanent way are detected from the measurement data by using an evaluation device. A detected object is assigned to an object class, and at least one object class identification linked with positional data is stored in a database for a detected object. The actual condition of the permanent way is thus stored in an object-based manner, and a comparison with a target condition or with historic actual conditions is used for the planning and execution of maintenance measures. A maintenance system for executing the method is also provided.

Dependent claims

A method for maintenance of a permanent way for rail vehicles, the method comprising the following steps:

using a measuring system to record measurement data for determining an actual condition of the permanent way;
using an evaluation device to detect objects along the permanent way from the measurement data;
assigning a detected object to an object class;
storing an object class identification linked to positional data for an assigned object in a database;
deriving control data for a work sequence of at least one of a rail-bound construction machine or a rail-bound maintenance machine from the data stored in the database;
and
specifying a target condition of the permanent way, evaluating deviations of the actual condition from the target condition, and prescribing the control data in dependence on the evaluated deviations.
