Abstract:Various factors, including climate change and geographical features, contribute to the deterioration of railway infrastructures over time. The impacts of climate change have caused significant damage to critical components, particularly switch and crossing (S&C) elements in the railway network. These components are sensitive to abnormal temperatures, snow and ice, and flooding, making them susceptible to failures. The consequences of S&C failures can have a detrimental effect on the reliability and saf… Show more
