Reprofiling method of the rails of a railroad track and railroad vehicle for performing the same

Abstract

A method for reprofiling the rails of a railway track and a machine for doing so. The reprofiling machine comprises measuring apparatus 16 of the transversal profile of the rail 11 for each line of rails. It comprises a storing 23 of at least one base reference profile for each type of rails and of at least one other reference profile for each base reference; and a selector 25, 26 of a pair of reference profiles as well as a device assignating one of the reference profiles of that pair to one of the line of rails and the other profile to the other line of rails. It comprises a comparator 23 of the measured profile of each rail to the selected reference profile; a controller and/or a selector in function of these comparison datas of a configuration, position and power, of reprofiling tools assigned to each line of rails.
