Enhancing Railway Network Safety by Reproducing Wheel–Rail Electrical Contact on a Laboratory Scale

Ensuring the safety of rail networks requires precise detection of a train’s position on a track section. This is achieved using a “track circuit” system, in which the wheel–rail electrical contact is the key to maintaining the system’s reliability. However, any degradation of this contact can lead...
