One of the tasks of the permanent way staff of the Italian railway network (RFI, Rete Ferroviaria Italiana) is checking the absolute track geometry. This ensures that the geometric quality of the track meets the increasing speed. RFI has introduced new control techniques over the last few years to make this work easier and faster.
