    Abstract: Method for detecting switch degradation and failures having steps of collecting and labelling, into predefined categories, switch machine data relative to a predetermined controlled switch placed in supervised environment and conditions; storing the labeled data of each movement switch in a database and pre-processing the labelled data. A learning LSTM weights and cell parameters by performing a training phase on a LSTM network using the pre-processed data, thus obtaining a final LSTM model inclusive of architecture and parameters of the LSTM network suitable for analyzing switch data relative to movements of switches actually located on a railway track; collecting data relative to the movements of a switch located on a railway track; and classifying the switch movements into said categories by applying the collected data to the final LSTM, thus detecting switch degradations and failures.

    Abstract: Method, system and software code for calibrating a rail track circuit comprising a plurality of rails coupled to form a track section having a predefined length, a transmit processing unit coupled to the track section at a first end of the track section, and a receive processing unit coupled at the second end of the track section. A transfer function between a transmit voltage applied by the transmit processing unit at the track section and a resulting receive current detected at the receive processing unit is first determined and then applied to the rail track circuit for automatic initial calibration or recalibration.
