Popis: This study aimed to develop a multi-objective approach for reducing the positional errors in geometry measurements of track as a linear asset. Accordingly, we evaluated and compared two alignment methods – recursive segment-wise peak alignment (RSPA) and modified correlation optimised warping (MCOW). Furthermore, a novel rule-based approach was introduced to avoid data loss while aligning the datasets of the measurements of linear assets. A case study was conducted to implement and assess the performance of these methods in reducing the positional errors in track geometry measurements. The results revealed that the rule-based method preserves all the single defects present in the datasets. Furthermore, RSPA outperforms MCOW when aligning peaks, whereas MCOW is more efficient when all the data points in the datasets have equal priority.
