Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining correction values for correcting a position of a track, with an actual geometry of a track section being recorded by means of an inertial measurement device arranged on a track inspection vehicle while the track is being travelled on, and with measuring data the recorded track section being output by the inertial measurement device to an evaluation device. In this case, a virtual inertial measurement of the same track section with a target geometry is calculated by means of a simulation device in order to obtain simulated measuring data for the target geometry, with correction values correcting the position of the track being determined by subtracting the simulated measuring data from the measuring data of the inertial measurement device by means of a computing unit. With the method according to the invention, correction values are determined directly on the basis of the measuring data of the inertial measurement device.
