Railway

VESTRA Rail, the modern system for track planning and track design, meets all possible railway design requirements – from exchanging data without loss and planning entire track systems to making data available for construction machines. VESTRA Rail works alongside with AutoCAD Civil 3D/AutoCAD and GeoMedia (Intergraph). The application takes account of the different national standards for alignment, switch calculation, dynamics, and the clearance gauge. Envelopes can be generated for almost every kind of vehicle. Components from the integrated catalog support the creation of complex cross sections – including the pavement, subgrade, formation, and drainage. 

Some benefits at a glance

• Binary data compatibility with Verm.esn when importing and exporting line data for alignments, profiles, and superelevations
• Alignment taking account of any planning constraints that arise
• Automatic inclusion of switches and track connections in the calculation
• Recalculation of all interdependent elements in case of planning changes
• Calculation of the superelevation taking account of dynamics parameters (automatic calculation of standard values)
• Modular cross section design
• Automatic generation of line and switch elevation plans
