Why and how do you monitor railtrack segments and improve their maintenance?

Railtrack segments are considered critical because of their singular features such as switches and short radius curves, for example, or because of some temporary conditions (for instance constructive activities near the segment). Monitoring track geometry is an important task in order to assess the good maintenance of rail tracks and thus minimising operational risks.
