DistoDroid 3.0
Railway distance and position measurement for Android
Android application for railway distance and position measurement with the T-METIX trolley
Why Choose DistoDroid 3.0?
One Mobile Platform
Laser distance measurement, track geometry acquisition, kilometer referencing and project data management combined in a single intuitive application.
Wireless Operation
The application communicates with the measuring system over Bluetooth, so operators measure on site and see the results in real time.
Flexible Reference Systems
Multiple coordinate system configurations allow rapid adaptation to changing track conditions without physically repositioning the trolley.
Instant Comparison
Differences against previous campaigns, design values or reference datasets are calculated automatically and displayed immediately.

Screenshots from the application
Measurement screen: laser point coordinates against the reference values with their differences, plus gauge, cant and twist of the trolley; a value outside its limit turns red
Origin of the coordinate system: one wheel, the track center or both wheels
Limits for a measured signal: plus and minus limit with an optional sound alarm
Measurement result: the saved points of one survey with measured, reference and difference values

Railway Distance & Position Measurement for Android
DistoDroid 3.0 is a professional Android-based data acquisition application developed by KZV for railway infrastructure measurements.
Designed for use with the T-METIX measuring trolley, DistoDroid combines laser distance measurement, track geometry acquisition, kilometer referencing and project data management into a single intuitive mobile platform.
The application communicates wirelessly with the measuring system via Bluetooth, allowing operators to perform measurements directly on site while visualizing results in real time.
Intelligent Reference Management
The software supports several coordinate system configurations and adapts quickly to changing track conditions without the measuring trolley having to be repositioned.
This simplifies operation in curves, switches and complex railway environments.
Comparison with Previous Surveys
DistoDroid compares current measurements directly against:
- Previous inspection campaigns
- Design values
- Reference datasets
Differences are calculated automatically and displayed immediately, helping infrastructure managers detect changes and monitor how assets change over time.
Continuous Geometry Recording
In addition to point measurements, DistoDroid records track geometry continuously along the route. Geometry parameters are stored automatically and can be exported for further analysis and reporting.
Typical Applications
- Platform clearance surveys
- Infrastructure positioning
- Construction verification
- Maintenance inspections
- Track geometry monitoring
- Before/after work comparisons
- Railway asset documentation
Designed for Railway Professionals
DistoDroid 3.0 has been developed specifically for railway operators, infrastructure managers, contractors and engineering companies requiring fast, reliable and repeatable field measurements.
Combined with the T-METIX system, it provides a complete mobile solution for railway distance and position measurement.
