Abstract

This paper describes various engineering surveying operations in the construction and maintenance of railway tracks through the functional modules of a specifically designed computer software. This software designs for the main functions of alignment, setting-out, as-built and right-of-way surveys. The software introduced is the RTS (Rail Transit Survey) ®, which has been used in railway projects by many international civil engineering contractors and railway corporations around the world.
