Novel condition monitoring techniques applied to improve the dependability of railway point machines
Point machines are the key actuator used in railways to provide a means of moving a switch blade from one position to the other. Failure in the point actuator has a significant effect on train operations. Condition monitoring systems for point machines have been therefore implemented in some railway...
