Description

DECART NDT/track geometry vehicle is intended for in travel, continuous inspection and assessment of the condition of the railway track. DECART vehicle is equipped with an automated system for decoding and processing track measurement data and a system for visual detection of rail and permanent way component defects.It can simultaneously analyse NDT data and track geometry. The vehicle provides diagnostics of railway tracks with 1520 (1524) gauge, detecting all defects and at the same time monitoring and assessing rail track geometry of the main and side tracks under load. The track material and composition should comply with the normative regulations.

In the track geometry inspection mode the maximum speed of DECART vehicle is 100 km/h, while in NDT/track geometry inspection mode – 70 km/h.
DECART can be applied in any season and any time of day in conditions of snow and rainfall, at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +45°C and air relative humidity up to 98%.
Employing DECART NDT/track geometry vehicle on the domestic railways should make it possible to reduce the operating costs of track and rail inspection by 20%-30% thanks to reduced expenditures on servicing personnel and locomotive operators.
