A new approach to railway track switch actuation: Dynamic simulation and control of a self-adjusting switch

The track switch is one of the key assets in any railway network. It is essential to allow trains to change route; however, when it fails significant delays are almost inevitable. A relatively common fault is ‘loss of detection’, which can happen when gradual track movement occurs and the switch mac...
