    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: Controlling a level crossing includes one or more transceivers located in proximity of a level crossing area on a first side of a railway track; corresponding passive reflective targets located in proximity of the level crossing area on a second side of the railway track opposite to the first side where each transceiver is located and a control unit connected to each transceiver. Each target is arranged to receive RF signals coming from each transceiver and to send back corresponding reflected signals. Each transceiver is arranged to elaborate said reflected signals to calculate predetermined parameters values. Also, the control unit is arranged to acquire said parameters values from each transceiver and to elaborate them to detect the presence of a train in an area around the level crossing area and, in case of presence of said train, to send a warning message and/or close bars of the level crossing.

    Abstract: When an event prevents a train from moving along a route in a nominal direction, this method makes it possible to cause it to circulate in an opposite direction by: selecting (120) an origin zone and an output signal; drawing (130) a pseudo-route on the successive zones between the origin zone and the output signal; opening (140) the pseudo-route by associating a sub-route with each zone, corresponding to the reservation of said zone for said train; informing (150) the train that it must circulate in the opposite direction; determining (160) a movement authorization for the train from sub-routes that are open and a list of obstacles that is updated regularly; sending (180) the movement authorization to the train, the determination (160) and transmission (170) steps being iterated until the train crosses the output signal.

    Abstract: This thermal conduction device intended to be installed between a first heat source part and a second heat dissipation part, comprises a male element comprising a protruding part relative to a base and a female element comprising an inner wall defining a housing for receiving the protruding part. The male element is configured to exert a radial force against the inner wall when the thermal conduction device is installed between the first heat source part and the second heat dissipation part so as to improve the thermal conduction between the male element and the female element.
