The Gauging module enables the management of network-wide gauging survey data from a centralised location. It stores gauging survey data which provides measurements of the space between rolling stock and real-world entities such as platforms, bridges, tunnels, and vehicls on adjacent tracks. The gauging module includes tools which allow users to review, correct, and publish that data, including the ability to export it to third-party software systems for more complex analysis.
Gauging is made up of three core components: slices, entities (structures or track segments), and surveys. For definitions of these terms, see Defining Slices, Structures, Track Segments and Surveys.
Gauging is located in the main menu of Cordel Connect.
What the Gauging module does
Gauging ingests SC* gauging data files, sourced either from Cordel's own capture hardware or from existing client-supplied data (BYOD).
Once ingested, gauging data is manipulated, analysed and moved through a sequential workflow which may include:
-
Slice viewing and editing
-
Track geometry visualisaition tooling
-
The ability to automatically and manually assign structures to slices
-
User defined data management workflows, with dynamic survey review/validation processes
-
Automated and manual QA of data
-
Data searchability
-
Re-survey compliance reporting
-
Periodic network wide releases of clearance data (configurable through permissions)
