Rethinking rail track switches for fault tolerance and enhanced performance

© 2016, © IMechE 2016. Railway track switches, commonly referred to as ‘turnouts’ or ‘points,’ are a necessary element of any rail network. However, they often prove to be performance-limiting elements of networks. A novel concept for rail track switching has been developed as part of a UK research...
