Mechanical misalignment or failure to lock during turnout transitions causes derailment risks. Ensuring precise positioning prevents catastrophic structural failure during high-speed transit.

Ice accumulation and geometric irregularities compromise the safe interface between the vehicle and the rail beam. Addressing these ensures continuous operational reliability and prevents derailment risks.

Frozen precipitation obstructs mechanical movement of rail switching components. Preventing mechanical blockage ensures operational safety and prevents transit delays.

Inadequate electrical return paths in rail systems cause electrolytic corrosion and safety hazards. Mitigating these currents prevents structural degradation and equipment failure.
