The invention claimed is: 1. A laser apparatus for monitoring the rails of a railway or tramway line, comprising for each rail a measuring unit, provided with triangulation reading devices using a laminar laser beam generated by a laser source and directed towards the rail to be monitored, and a matrix video camera positioned at a certain angle to the laser beam, and further comprising a process unit for processing the signal transmitted by said measurement units, said measurement and processor units being mounted on a railway or tramway carriage made to advance along said railway or tramway line, wherein: said measurement unit comprises at least two triangulation reading devices positioned aligned along the axis of the respective rail and focused on the top of the rail head, and said processor unit comprises software means able to calculate the derivative of the differential measurement obtained from each of said at least two triangulation reading devices and hence to determine the undulatory wear of the rail. 2. A laser apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein each measurement unit further comprises a profile reading device, comprising at least a triangulation device operating at least on the inner part of the respective rail. 3. A laser apparatus as claimed in claim 2 further comprising a central measuring unit, in which said triangulation reading devices are located, and a pair of end measurement units positioned upstream and downstream of said central measurement unit and each comprising at least one profile reading device of the same type as provided in said central unit, to determine together with this latter the track geometry, by processing the signals generated by said profile reading device. 4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 3, further comprising laser signal generators located on the central measurement unit and laser signal sensors located on said end measurement units and operationally associated with said laser signal generators to measure the elastic deformations of the railway or tramway carriage and automatically compensate the resultant measurement errors. 5. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein each measurement unit comprises a container for the various laser reading devices, which is applicable to the railway or tramway carriage and is provided in its base, which faces the rails, with windows associated with the laser sources and with the video cameras. 6. An apparatus as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a screen in said container, said screen having apertures coinciding with said windows, said screen slidable between two end positions, said apertures face said windows in one of said end positions. 7. A laser apparatus for monitoring the rails of a railway or tramway line, comprising for each rail a measuring unit, provided with triangulation reading devices using a laminar laser beam generated by a laser source and directed towards the rail to be monitored, and a video camera positioned at a certain angle to the laser beam, and further comprising a process unit for processing the signal transmitted by said measurement units, said measurement and processor units being mounted on a railway or tramway carriage made to advance along said railway or tramway line, said measurement unit comprising at least two triangulation reading devices positioned aligned along the axis of the respective rail and focused on the top of the rail head, said processor unit comprises software means able to calculate the derivative of the differential measurement obtained from each of said at least two triangulation reading devices and hence to determine the undulatory wear of the rail wherein each measurement unit comprises a container for the various laser reading devices, which is applicable to the railway or tramway carriage and is provided in its base, which faces the rails, with windows associated with the laser sources and with the video cameras, each measurement unit comprising a container for the various laser reading devices, which is applicable to the railway or tramway carriage and is provided in its base, which faces the rails, with windows associated with the laser sources and with the video cameras, and the screen is provided with wiper blades associated with the various windows of the container and slidable along the screen glass as result of the movement of said screen.
