The Trimble GEDO Track System consists of the Trimble GEDO CE 2.0 track measurement trolley with a Trimble control unit in combination with a Trimble total station.
In conjunction with Trimble Access Rail module GEDO Track Trolley software, an easy-to-use, fully integrated measurement system is available for geodetic track as-built tasks. Using the recommended geodetic resection method to position the total station, the quality of the control point network can be checked during the station setup process. Deviations from the nominal track position are displayed live in the field, as well as the location of alignment transition points (main points).
The Trimble GEDO Track system is used for pre-measurement for track tamping in case of small scale projects or for projects that require a geodetic measurement method.

Trimble GEDO Profiler
Optional laser measuring unit for checking track position at control points, as well as for measuring distances to objects close to the track (i.e. structures and platforms). Distances are displayed in relation to the track axis or inner edge of the rail, both perpendicularly and vertically to the cant (superelevation). In addition, points measured with the GEDO Profiler are stored in the geodetic coordinate system.
For users who want to use the Trimble GEDO Profiler, the Windows application Trimble GEDO Track is available.
