Abstract

The purpose of this study is to create a tool for measuring track gauge and cant in the curved railroad with digital systems which can improve railroad maintenance with an automatic recording system for more efficient and easy to use. This tool uses Arduino IDE as an application programming language and microcontroller board combined with several sensors to measure many parameters of track gauge and cant. Android devices with a Wi-Fi connection can display the measurement results display real-time data on the screen and convert the data as a text delimited file.
