Abstract:

Railroad signaling systems detect trains on the track, identify track fractures, prevent derailments, and alert signal crossing stations when trains approach. These systems are vital to safe train operation; therefore, each component of this system has to be extremely reliable. Current methods of rail/wire attachment have shortcomings that are creating reliability problems for the railroads. Failures in signal cable attachments create uncertainty in the signaling system, resulting in reduced train speeds, additional inspection time to identify the cause of the failures, and reinstallation efforts that result in additional costs, train delays, lost productivity, and reduced operational safety.
