EVALUATION SOFTWARE.
Advanced Railway Data Evaluation Software
KRAB 11 is KZV's professional software for the evaluation of railway infrastructure measurements.
It processes track geometry data (Cant, Top, Alignment, Gauge, Twist), speed and distance using configurable calculation methods, including space curves and chord evaluation.
The software also supports advanced analysis of switches and rail profiles for wear and grinding assessment.
Results are presented in clear graphs and tables, helping engineers assess track condition, identify defects and support maintenance decisions.

Advanced Custom Analysis Tools
Every railway network operates according to specific maintenance rules and standards.
KRAB 11 allows users to configure evaluation templates that automatically apply the required calculation methods, limits and reporting criteria.
Templates can be adapted to national regulations, customer specifications or project-specific requirements, ensuring consistent evaluations across multiple projects and
networks.
Key capabilities:
- User-defined calculations and limits
- Configurable wavebands and filters
- Adjustable evaluation parameters
- Custom graph layouts
- Local defect settings
- Section evaluation criteria
- Custom speed zones
- Switch types definition
- Adjustble rail profile evaluation parameters
Once configured, templates can be reused indefinitely, ensuring a standardized evaluation process throughout the organization.
Measurement data can be displayed as graphs, tables and comparative views, allowing users to investigate results in detail and correlate different track parameters.
Graphical Analysis Tools
KRAB 11 provides powerful visualization tools that help engineers understand track behaviour and quickly identify irregularities.
Key capabilities:
- Multi-channel graphical display
- Simultaneous visualization of multiple signals
- Adjustable scales and layouts
- Signal comparison tools
- Highlighting of limit exceedances
- Zoom and detailed inspection functions
- Custom graph configurations
Local Defects & Quality Assessment
KRAB 11 automatically identifies local defects based on entered limits and outputs this information into clear and adjustable tables.
The tables contain information about maximum value, length, limit level and GPS location of each defect found.
It also evaluates track quality in sections based on configurable maintenance criteria.
Key capabilities:
- Automatic local defect detection based on selectable limits
- Acceptance and maintenance evaluations
- Quality Index calculations
- Section-based condition assessment
- Defect summaries and statistics
- Maintenance prioritization support
Measurement data can be displayed as graphs, tables and comparative views, allowing users to investigate results in detail and correlate different track parameters.
Results can be presented in multiple formats, helping maintenance teams rapidly identify critical locations and plan interventions more efficiently.
Rail Profile Evaluation
KRAB 11 combines track geometry evaluation with comprehensive rail profile analysis, providing a complete overview of infrastructure condition both for vignol and grooved rails.
Measured rail profiles can be compared with reference profiles to monitor wear development or to prepare grinding plans.
Key capabilities:
- Rail wear analysis
- Grinding analysis
- Grooved rail evaluation
- Section-based profile assessment
- GQI reporting
- Export to multiple formats
Switch Data Evaluation
KRAB 11 provides comprehensive switch measurement evaluation, generating detailed reports for every inspection point within a turnout together with the corresponding rail profile information.
The software combines track geometry parameters, switch-specific measurements and rail profile data into a clear and structured assessment. Integrated support for ASI (Automatic Switch Inspection) enables automated processing and evaluation of switch measurements, helping engineers quickly identify defects, monitor wear and verify maintenance quality.
Detailed Switch Reports • Rail Profile Analysis • Automated Inspection • Maintenance Support
