Automated Guidance Computer (tmAGC)

Product Details

The new automatic guidance computer is the gem of track geometry control. It can give precise instructions on how to operate the tamping machine worldwide, both with existing and unknown track geometry. On the main railway network or on high speed railway corridors, i.e. where the track position is usually known exactly, the target data, which varies from country to country, can be imported. The tmAGC will compute how the target status can be achieved again. On secondary railway lines or whenever the track position is unknown, the guidance computer can determine the actual status with a measurement run and thereby compute instructions for an optimal track position. The tmAGC is a central component for the execution of digital work orders and it communicates work parameters to the tamping machines that are then applied to the tamping unit.
