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
C: radius or length of switch blade
D: type of angle

RDAT (Reliability Data Analysis Tool) software was developed by Alstom and the University of Bordeaux (France), and deal with highly censored field data which wasn’t taken into account properly with the already existing programs.
Data analysis tool
RDAT was used to estimate the reliability functions and failure rates from field data
Four failure models have been implemented in RDAT: exponential, Weibull, normal, and lognormal distributions. To select the best model, a goodness-of-fit test is applied.
The maintenance quality is considered by a parameter denoted Rho:
ρ = 1 means that the maintenance quality is AGAN (the maintenance operation is perfect).
ρ = 0 means that the maintenance quality is ABAO (the mission can continue but leaves the item with a reliability corresponding to the age accumulated so far).

β < 1 → MTBF ↗
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

Comparison between hot/cold
There are much more β < 1 during COLD season, better maintenance? More effective maintenance during winter time?
There are much more β > 1 during HOT season, worst maintenance?
Is there any link with the number of failures avery year?

Conclusion
The RAMS analysis confirms the more failure in Cold season than in Hot season
For tracks 124, 410 and 912
Failure rate decreasing during Cold season Failure rate almost constant during Hot season
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
