Railway
Similar to vehicles there are specific railway applications where inertial measurement technology is used. Our clients usually integrate our GPS-aided inertial system ADMA into their complete system to determine also other parameters, e.g. position of catenary wire.
Typical quantities to be measured are such as speed, tilt, velocity and position (trajectory) with an output rate up to 1000 Hz.
For the support of navigation with GNSS / GLONASS-shadowing, e.g. driving through tunnel, an odometer signal can be used. We also offer an offline processing software which performs a forward-backward calculation of Kalman filter in order to achieve the optimal result of position.
Applications
- Cant measurement
- Measurement of rail wearout

Options, Add-ons and accessories
NTRIP-DGNSS-Box 5
DGNSS-Korrekturdaten für hochpräzise Positionierung von einem RTK-Netzwerk-Provider oder von der GPS-Basistation
DGNSS Correction Data for High-Precision Positioning from RTK Network Provider or GPS Base Station
With the NTRIP-DGNSS-Box 5, an ADMA equipped with RTK capabilities can obtain positional correction data through the Network RTK (like SAPOS and ASCOS, SmartNet, …), without the need for a nearby Base Station. By receiving correction messages through the RTK network, this solution provides significant benefits when conducting tests over long distances, varying elevations, or areas with topographical obstacles that may obstruct communication with the Base Station.

Option RTK2: High-precision position measurement using correction data
RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic and is a technique based on carrier-based distance measurement that can RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic and is a technique based on carrier-based distance measurement that can determine positions with high precision.
The method is much more accurate than code-based location. The basic concept is to eliminate the various error sources of raw GNSS positioning by using a local base station whose exact position is known. For this purpose, correction data of a virtual base station of different correction data services can be requested, or a local base station with its own GNSS receiver is used.
Product-Page Option Multi-GNSS: Use of multiple satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou
Today’s GNSS-Receivers have the option of accessing multiple satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou.
By using these systems in addition to GPS the Receiver is able to track more Satellites which results in the following advantages:
Reduced signal acquisition time.
Improved position and timing accuracy.
Reduction of problems caused by obstacles such as buildings and leaves
Improved spatial distribution of visible satellites, resulting in improved position accuracy.
Add-On BRAKING: Real-time calculation of brake performance data according to international regulations
The Add-On ”Braking” is the sophisticated solution for brake performance measurement.
Enabling brake pedal triggered as well as velocity threshold triggered measurement, all relevant parameters, including mean deceleration, brake distance and trigger speed are provided. Both full brake and fading test are supported.
BRAKING option is available for all ADMA models
For ADMA-Speed it is included, even in the basic version
