The tCat allows a fast, agile and automated measurement of the main geometric parameters of the overhead contact line. In this month's article we aim to analyse the measurement performance with tCat for a campaign that we have defined as “typical”. That is a campaign in which we have tried to make its execution
This 2021, from Telice we have been working on improving the LiDAR point cloud processing software integrated in our tCat unit, refining it, and adding new automatic calculation functionalities that our users demand. Today we focus the blog article on one of these new additions: the automatic calculation of the REFOS. REFOS is a
Last June 2021, a field campaign with the tCat took place for the SIA Project “A System for vehicle-infrastructure Interaction Assets health status monitoring” (Grant Agreement no. 776402). SIA is an H2020 project with funding from the European Commission, formed by a consortium of 9 companies, of which Telice is part as an expert
The tCat equipment incorporates powerful processing software with two different functions: Field measurement functionality: “NEW SURVEY” Back-office analysis functionality: “SURVEY ANALYSIS In today's article, we will focus on the “SURVEY ANALYSIS” functionality and its feature of exporting the information contained in a measurement session to multiple formats. Often, the work of sampling catenary heights
Measuring the height and stagger of a contact wire In an OLE system, the catenary runs in a predefined path above the track in order to guarantee good electrical contact with the pantograph as well as minimize wearing. This is usually implemented at the design phase by establishing the location of the contact wire at

THE DIGITAL MAPPING SYSTEM HELPING SAFELY PAVE THE WAY TO ELECTRIFICATION The rail industry’s drive to improve efficiency and lower its carbon footprint is exemplified by the widespread use and introduction of electrification infrastructure. For those lines which haven’t already been upgraded, the commitment across other parts of the network to replace the use
Seit Anfang März führt das tCat-Team von Telice Messungen des Fahrdrahtes auf einem verkehrsfreien Bahnabschnitt in der Nähe von León durch. Die Prüfung zur Kalibrierung der im tCat integrierten LIDAR-System wurde zeitgleich mit entsprechenden Messungen der Fahrdrahthöhe und Seitenlage nach der konventionellen Methode (mit Lineal und Laser-Meter) gemacht. Die Tests waren ein großer Erfolg, nicht nur wegen
