Research Project - Dzsf - Strategic Options For Action To Improve The Handling Of Maintenance And Cost-Intensive Switches. On The One Hand, The Project Should Determine The Current Equipment Standard In The German Rail Network And Also Provide An Overview Of The Installed Technology And Evaluate It With Regard To The Maintenance Effort. On The Other Hand, An Overview Of The Potential Of New Technologies In The Operation And Maintenance Of Points Should Be Created. The Options For Action Derived From This For Dealing With Points Should Lead To The Fact That They Can Be Operated With Less Maintenance And Costs. Turnouts Fulfill Important Functions In The Railway System, Both To Increase Capacity And To Ensure Safe Operation. Due To Their Structural Design, Points Are Subject To Particular Dynamic Stress, Which Is Reflected, Among Other Things, In High Maintenance Costs. Turnouts Are Among The Most Cost-Intensive Elements Of Rail Infrastructure, Both In Terms Of Acquisition And Maintenance. At The Same Time, Switches Are Prone To Failure: At Db Netz Ag, About 20% Of All Train Delays Caused By Infrastructure Elements Are Caused By Switch Failures. Effective Maintenance Management Of The Points Is Crucial To Achieve The Desired Service Life Of The System, To Ensure Safe Operation And To Increase The Availability Of The Infrastructure. New Approaches, Both Technological And Organizational, Are Therefore Required That Serve To Improve The Construction, Maintenance And Servicing Of Turnout Technology.
