METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ASSEMBLY CONSISTING OF ONE OR MORE INTERVENTION TOOLS MOUNTED ON AN INTERVENTION RAIL VEHICLE

摘要

In order to locate points or lines of interest A, B, C, D on a railway track 22, by means of a railway locating system 12 comprising a linear camera 26 and an odometer 28 progressing on the railway track 22 in a direction of progression 100, the odometer 28, repeatedly acquires instantaneous positioning data of the linear camera 26 with respect to the railway track 22 in the direction of progression 100, and the linear camera 26 pointing at the railway track 22 repeatedly acquires instantaneous linear optical data along an instantaneous measurement line 50. Then, by processing at least the instantaneous linear optical data and the instantaneous positioning data, a bitmap image is constructed of a zone of the surface of the railway track 22, and, in the bitmap image, at least one spatial indexing marker 56 of predetermined signature and its positioning relative to a reference rail 22A of the railway track 22 is identified. Points or lines of interest A, B, C, D are identified in the bitmap image, and the coordinates of the points or lines of interest are determined in a two-dimensional locating reference system O, x, y linked to the spatial indexing marker 56 and to the reference line 22A.
