Study on Quantifying and Reducing Electrical Resistance between Wheels and Rails

Last updated on 04 January 2013 5:41
The train-detecting track circuit currently used is dependable and has the characteristics required of a railway signalling system in terms of economy, continuous detection, etc. However, when rails become rusty, the shunt resistance becomes higher, making it difficult for the track circuit to detect trains precisely. We have therefore researched...
