Maintenance of the rail track plays an important role in the policies that promote railway transport in the European Union. Each member state has its own railway infrastructure manager that is regulated by the standards set by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The standards define three levels for the track geometric quality: the alert limit (AL), the intervention limit (IL), and the immediate action limit (IAL). In the United States, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) manages the railroad safety and national rail transportation policy. They classify nine classes of tracks depending on the maximum allowable speed for freight and passenger trains; each classification has its own track geometric limits from nominal values. Usually, track-survey cars are used to measure the parameters of the geometric quality of the tracks in long sectors, whereas traditional surveying methods (TSMs) or an automated measuring system based on a track-surveying trolley assisted by a robotic total...
