Track Geometry from Vista Instrumentation
Vista Instrumentation LLC has designed and developed the next generation of Rail Track Geometry Measurement equipment which brings better performance, lower cost, simplicity and reliability to the industry.
Based on highly integrated hardware which enables extremely fast rail image processing using special firmware programmed into a gate array chip (FPGA) this system enables non-contact measurement of railroad track to levels not possible previously.
Despite performance that surpasses legacy systems, The Vista OpenGeo™ system also achieves better (low) power consumption, smaller size, lower cost, better reliability and extreme flexibility in application not previously possible.
