Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
For correction of a track position in connection with ballast cleaning, after cleaned ballast has been returned to a track, the actual position of the latter is measured while determining actual position data. Parallel to that, fixed point correction values are determined by a sighting trolley following behind. The actual position data and the fixed point correction values are transmitted to the tamping machine, following behind, and are used for determining correction values for a desired track position to be created by tamping.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. The method for correction of a track position in connection with ballast cleaning by means of a cleaning machine which precedes a tamping machine with regard to a working direction, comprising the following steps: a) after cleaned ballast has been returned to a track, the actual position of the track is measured while determining actual position data of the track, b) parallel in time to step a), determining fixed point correction values in that the track position with respect to fixed points is detected, c) transmitting the actual position data of the track and the fixed point correction values to the tamping machine, which is following behind, wherein the position data and the correction values are used for determining correction values for a desired track position to be created by tamping. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, immediately after a first tamping of the track by the said tamping machine, both actual position data of the track as well as fixed point correction values are detected again and used by a following second tamping machine for determining new correction values for a desired track position.
