Analysis of Local Track Discontinuities and Defects in Railway Switches Based on Track-Side Accelerations

Switches are an essential, safety-critical part of the railway infrastructure. Compared to open tracks, their complex geometry leads to increased dynamic loading on the track superstructure from passing trains, resulting in high maintenance costs. To increase efficiency, condition monitoring methods...
