OPTO-ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR MONITORING SPATIAL POSITION OF RAILWAY TRACK Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B61K9/08 E01B35/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: opto-electronic system for monitoring spatial position of a railway track includes at least one radiation source, a measuring bogie mounted on the rail track on which there is a processing unit and a photodetector unit, optically connected to the radiation source. The radiation source can be installed on structures moved out of the boundaries of the rail track and lying on the path of the measuring bogie. The photodetector unit has two reception and analysis systems, a tilt sensor of the photodetector unit, a control module whose output is connected to the input of the processing unit, and other input to the output of the tilt sensor of the photodetector unit, and an indicator for movement of the measuring bogie past the radiation source, whose output is connected to the input of the control module.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of measuring spatial position of a railway track and possibility of monitoring the design position of the rail track simultaneously in two mutually perpendicular directions.
