  • Procedure for controlling a guide system of a railway construction machine, associated method and associated guide system
    Patent number: 11566382
    Abstract: In order to control a measuring system with a tacheometer mounted on a carrier trolley circulating on a railway track under construction and a target fastened to a railway construction machine, the carrier trolley is circulated on the railway track in a working direction from a starting position to an arrival position in the vicinity of a topographic arrival singularity. The carrier trolley is immobilized and an observation of the topographic arrival singularity is made. Then, with the railway construction machine having been brought into the starting position, an observation of the target is made. Finally, the coordinates of the arrival position of the carrier trolley are calculated as a function of the measurements made, of additional data relating to the starting position, and of positioning data of the topographic arrival singularity and data relating to a theoretical line of the track.
