However, the challenges confronting indian railways with dedicated freight corridors, fast trains and increased capacity simply cannot be supported by existing methodology. These overdue initiatives impose time, cost and accuracy requirements which need new survey approaches. This presentation will review all the modern survey methodologies available to support these railway requirements. It will cover measuring everything from whole states to tiny switches, and include recent case studies showing what is possible.
