Switches
A railroad switch, turnout or set of points is a mechanical installation enabling railway trains to be guided from one track to another at a railway junction.
Name of switche in Swedish railway system: A-B-C-D (e.g. EV SJ50 11 1:9), A: type of switch (single, double)Check rail B: type of railpanel

Maybe the maintenance has improved in these 5 years (Case of infant mortality: many problems at the beginning) The organisation learned how to deal with failures during 05/09 Other possible explanation:
For SJ50-11 switch point detectors taken out (less failures) Change of switch point detectors on the other types of turnouts (from mechanical to electrical) > reduces number of failures in Hot and Cold

Conclusion
The RAMS analysis confirms the more failure in Cold season than in Hot season For tracks 124, 410 and 912
Track 512, which has the lowest availability, needs to be focused for improvement
The RDAT software is not taking into account this parameter. However, it is possible to do a covariate analysis including this factor. On the most important failure contributors, which are the switch blade position detectors, switch devices, heating system in the cold season, and switch blades
