Comparative Analysis of Snow Removal Methods and Safety Control Measures for Railway Switch
Railway safety is susceptible to weather factors,such as heavy snowfall and poor snow removal work,which are easy to cause train disruption and have a major impact on the production efficiency of railway transportation and traffic safety.Snow removal at the railway switch is an important link in winter snow removal operations.The top priority of snow removal work is to select reasonable snow removal methods and formulate feasible snow removal plans based on field situation.The selection of snow removal methods is directly related to the efficiency of snow removal,safety control during snow removal is also particularly important.Starting from such three methods as snow blowing,snow melting,and snow sweeping,this paper made a comparative analysis of the current methods of snow removal for railway switches in China and abroad.Taking the snow removal work of the Shuohuang Railway Development Co.,Ltd.as an example,this paper explored the optimization of the current methods of snow removal combined with the practical experience of snow removal.
