摘要: This paper presents an approach to measure the rail gauge and tilt angle of railway track using non contact measurement techniques. The objective this study is improve present manual techniques replace it with advanced digital In order achieve low frequency ultrasonic distance method presented. methods are presented because use type sensors may increase possibility errors frequent calibration required. Since earlier times conventional level tool being used in Indian Railways, amount work required rectify tracks very time consuming tremendous man power project aims which uses accelerometers obtain parameters.
