The technical requirements for minimum rail gauge and platform clearance at station emplacements are essential to support railway operations, given the large number of train accidents caused by rail gauge and platform clearance that do not follow applicable regulatory standards. However, data collection from the measurement of rail gauge and platform clearance still uses manual tools and handwriting, which needs to be improved to save human resources and time. Therefore, optimizing the process of testing the rail gauge and the platform clearance requires equipment that can work automatically to collect data and record measurement results. The IoT-based Hybrid Gauge platform design aims to optimize the measurement of rail gauge and platform clearance at the station emplacement and reduce the need for human resources and time. Testing the gauge of the rail and platform clearance in this study was carried out by utilizing a rotary encoder to detect the dilation and narrowing of the width of the railway track. In addition, the VL53l1X lidar sensor detects the distance and height of the platform clearance on the station emplacement. The Control system of the hybrid platform gauge uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller connected to a web application on a laptop by utilizing the Wemos D1 Mini for sending data from sensor readings. The results of the Platform Gauge Hybrid design showed that this device could operate on a 1067 mm-wide R54 rail with a measurement accuracy rate of 99.29% and a percentage of time efficiency of 85%.
