Job Description
Onsite in NYC
Our client is seeking one (1) Project Manager and two (2) analyst for the Platform Edges and Gap Doors integration project.
The measuring system is mounted on the NYCT's Track Geometry Car. This system was integrated on the NYCT Track Geometry cars by Plasser American's Corporation using a Laser Riegl scanner, an Applanix and a Track geometry system. Data of these measuring systems is being analyzed and integrated to get station edge and doors gaps clearances on tangent and curved tracks using a specialized Amberg developed software to produce Final Platform Edges and Gap Doors specified type of revenue train.
The Platform Position and Gap Measurements at Doors laser scanner measuring system on the NYCTTGC3 & TGC 4 cars can provide continuous and accurate clearances from inspection of the platform edges to accurately measure horizontal and vertical distances between the running rails and the platform edges. This laser scanner system is an almost 3-D LIDAR system that is capable of measuring tunnel cross-sections to provide clearance analysis of any intrusions, Station edges and Car door gaps.
The contractor analyzing data and producing final reports must have the engineering knowledge to understand the software and hardware of the Platform Position Measuring System and Gap Measurements at Doors.
Requirements
Be proficient with measured horizontal platform gauge values and expected nominal values for horizontal Platform gauge in tangent track and curved tracks, which are:

• 28 inches for the IRT Division,
• 33.75 inches for the BMT/IND Divisions.
• On curves, End Excess {E.E.), or Center Excess (C.E.) plus

Superelevation Excess (S.E.), need to be added to the above standard horizontal values, depending on the location of the Platform -.if on the high side of the curve, End Excess needs to be added; if the Platform is on the low side of the curve, Center Excess and Superelevation Excess need to be added. The formulas for E.E., C.E. and S.E. are given in the MW-1Track Standards Manual, and they depend on the type of car- to be input by the userand the actual radius and superelevation of the track, which will be obtained from the actual TGC's measurements of the track geometry. The division (IRT or BMT/IND) shall be defined by NYCT user and stored as a simple text file. A project within the software to analyze shall access the car definition and allow assigning the division to a measurement.
Proficiency with Amberg Software to analyze specific platform edge, be able to compute the maximum and minimum horizontal gap and step at each door location once the first car of the train has been properly positioned at the location of the car stop marker detected by the TGC. Measurements provided for each door by indication of car and door numerator for each platform height and distance. Be able to use original station numbers collected by Track Geometry Car on final reports and/or CAD drawing and/or point cloud files. Be able to detect and confirm errors from tunnel crosscuts.
For the determination of the vertical and horizontal gaps at each door location, personnel should be able to select correct direction of data, correct car type which is defined on Amberg Software.
Personnel shall be proficient or be able to use Plasser Offboard program, NYCT Draw Program, Riegl Tunnel Crosscuts, and analysis of LLLE, LLCC & LLCC Safety Envelopes to confirm correct excess. The Riegl Crosscut software is used for the Tunnel Crosscut analysis and can provide the horizontal {X-distance) and vertical {Y-distance) of any point.
