Measure and track railway distances with precision using your device’s A-GPS technology and sensor fusion such as the accelerometer. Designed as a support tool for railway professionals who require reliable and accurate measurements in operational environments, particularly in freight operations.
IMPORTANT:
LibTrain is an independent support application. It is not an official railway application and is not affiliated with any train operating company, infrastructure manager, or railway authority. It has been independently developed by a single developer (Author) with the aim of assisting railway drivers, especially those working in the freight sector, in their daily duties.
KEY FEATURES:
✔️ High-precision A-GPS tracking (device dependent): Fusion of A-GPS (Assisted GPS) with motion sensors for accurate distance measurement.
✔️ Real-time monitoring: Live tracking of speed, permitted limit, distance, and route mapping during operations.
✔️ Professional analysis: Detailed session history with speed metrics, distance tracking, and performance data.
✔️ Offline operation: Works reliably without an internet connection in railway locations with limited coverage.
✔️ Multi-session management: Organise and monitor multiple measurement sessions with unique identifiers.
✔️ Visual route mapping: Interactive maps displaying your routes and precise measurement paths.
✔️ Data recovery and backup: Secure local database backup and recovery capabilities (on device).
✔️ Customisable alerts: Visual and audible notifications for configurable distance thresholds.
✔️ Train configuration: Configure train settings such as length, weight in tonnes (t), and permitted speed limit.
✔️ Industrial design: Robust interface optimised for railway operational environments.
OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TOOL
LibTrain has been conceived as a complementary tool to support the work of train drivers, particularly in freight services. It does not replace official systems, regulatory equipment, or certified instruments. Its purpose is to provide an additional reference for distance and speed that may be useful during real operations, especially in freight trains.
PRECISION FOCUSED ON THE RAILWAY ENVIRONMENT
Designed with railway reliability requirements in mind, LibTrain delivers consistent measurements even in complex environments. The application continuously monitors position, calculates real-time speed and average speed, and maintains detailed records of each measurement session for later analysis.
SECURE AND RELIABLE
All data is stored locally on your device, with cloud synchronisation coming soon (currently in development). Backup, recovery, and export functions allow you to retain generated information for personal reference.
Ideal as a complementary tool for railway drivers — particularly in freight operations — maintenance staff, and operational professionals who wish to have an additional reference for track assessment, operational checks, and technical planning.
Privacy: All measurement data remains on your device unless you choose to export it.
