The geometric precision of ballastless tracks critically determines the performance and safety of high-speed railways. Traditional manual fine adjustment methods remain labor-intensive, iterative, and sensitive to human expertise, making it difficult to achieve sub-millimeter accuracy and global consistency. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a virtual-model–enabled pre-adjustment framework for high-speed ballastless track construction. The framework integrates a dual-frame SLAM-based and multi-sensor measurement system based on RC-SLAM principles and a local attitude compensation model, enabling accurate 3D mapping and reconstruction of long-track segments under extended-range and GNSS-denied conditions typical of linear infrastructure scenarios. A constraint-based global optimization algorithm is further developed to transform empirical fine adjustment into a computable geometric control problem, generating executable adjustment configurations with engineering feasibility. Field validation on a 1 km railway section demonstrates that the proposed method achieves sub-millimeter measurement accuracy, improves adjustment efficiency by over eight times compared with manual operations, and reduces material waste by 2800–7000 per kilometer. This paper demonstrates a previously unexplored execution-level workflow for long-rail fine adjustment, establishing a closed-loop paradigm from measurement to predictive optimization and paving the way for SLAM-driven, simulation-based, and multi-sensor–integrated precision control in next-generation railway construction.
