System and method for navigating within a track network

摘要

The invention relates to a system (20) for navigating within a track network (4), which system (20) comprises as system components a system control centre (20), a track construction machine (1) and communication means (26). The system control centre (20) is configured to administer network data which represent a model (31) of the track network (4). The track construction machine (1) is suitable for processing track sections (3) of the track network (4), wherein the track construction machine (1) comprises a navigation device (19) for processing navigation data derived from the network data. The communication means (26) is provided for exchanging data between the system control centre (20) and the navigation device (19). According to the invention, the system comprises at least one movable or stationary carrier platform (1, 21, 22, 23, 24) with sensors (14) for acquiring raw data which represent feature information of the track network (4), wherein a big data framework (27) is configured in the system control centre (20) in order to evaluate the raw data and coordinate it with the network data. This system permits automated updating of the network data to be carried out.
