Regression tool uses “least square” methods for alignment creation. Single elements regression creation tools to draw individual tangent or curve elements.
Maintenance tools & realignment calculations
Ferrovia is widely accepted as a railway design and maintenance solution in central and eastern European countries; from Austria, Poland, Hungary and Slovak republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia. Apart from European countries the Ferrovia usage is also spreading globally to North and South American continent and Africa. track re-designs. A set of comprehensive tools such as Surveying points to alignment centerline, Comparison analysis tools and Side track object distance calculations provide an easy design workflow.
Performance & Scalability
Data format Conversion Interfaces Conversion interfaces for bridging railway design and maintenance solution with industry standard data format (LandXML) or other specialized rail track equipment or machinery data formats (Plasser & Theurer) included.
With Ferrovia a user can design small rail projects or large projects with up to 1000 km of alignments, profiles and cross sections with no performance issues thus providing engineers a professional rail design tool.
