Internal guide switch geometry: BYDRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical failure and alignment errors in track switching lead to derailment risks and high maintenance costs. This lever engineers the internal guide geometry and drive synchronization to ensure precise wheel-to-rail engagement.

What technical problems is BYD addressing in Internal guide switch geometry?

Inadequate turnout switching reliability

(23)evidences

Traditional track switching systems suffer from physical obstructions or misalignments between traveling wheels and guide rails. Resolving these spatial conflicts ensures continuous vehicle motion and prevents derailment during transitions.

Inadequate track surface traction

(19)evidences

Loss of adhesion and geometric irregularities on guide rails compromise vehicle stability. Addressing these prevents derailment risks and measurement inaccuracies in transit systems.

Railway switch ice accumulation

(16)evidences

Frozen precipitation obstructs mechanical movement in rail transit systems. Eliminating this blockage prevents operational delays and derailment risks.

Thermal expansion discontinuity

(3)evidences

Inconsistent electrical contact between rail vehicles and grounding infrastructure during transit or maintenance. Eliminating stray currents prevents equipment damage and personnel hazards.
