Identification of a track based on track bolt orientation

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving orientation information of one or more bolt heads on ground-engaging sides of one or more undercarriage joints of a track;
• generating one or more undercarriage joint identifications corresponding to the one or more undercarriage joints based on the orientation information of the one or more bolt heads;
• matching the one or more undercarriage joint identifications with undercarriage joint identifications associated with a specific track in a database;
• identifying the track as the specific track having a specific track identification in the database, the specific track identification including a prior condition of the track;
• and
• in response to the track being serviced including a first undercarriage joint of the track being replaced with a second undercarriage joint;
• generating an undercarriage joint identification of the second undercarriage joint based on orientations of one or more bolt heads of the second undercarriage joint, and
• updating the specific track identification in the database, the updating including:
• replacing an undercarriage joint identification of the first undercarriage joint with the undercarriage joint identification of the second undercarriage joint, and
• replacing the prior condition of the track with a current condition of the track.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving orientation information of one or more bolt heads on ground-engaging sides of one or more undercarriage joints of a track;
• generating one or more undercarriage joint identifications corresponding to the one or more undercarriage joints based on the orientation information of the one or more bolt heads;
• matching the one or more undercarriage joint identifications with undercarriage joint identifications associated with a specific track in a database;
• identifying the track as the specific track having a specific track identification in the database, the specific track identification including a prior condition of the track;
• and
• in response to a first undercarriage joint of the track being replaced with a second undercarriage joint:
• generating an undercarriage joint identification of the second undercarriage joint based on orientations of one or more bolt heads of the second undercarriage joint, and
• updating the specific track identification in the database, the updating including:
• replacing an undercarriage joint identification of the first undercarriage joint with the undercarriage joint identification of the second undercarriage joint, and
• replacing the prior condition of the track with a current condition of the track.
