Deutsche Bahn Netz AG, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG (DB), switched to a new tamping surveying solution from Amberg Technologies. It will support maintenance measures of automated tamping of tracks and points.

The railroad said the decisive factors involved in the move were better performance and improved quality of survey data provided by the Amberg Rail tamping surveying solution. The cost of tamping surveying can be reduced by 40 to 70 per cent.

Amberg Technologies handed over the systems, specially adapted to DB's requirements, officially in September at InnoTrans in Berlin.
