Abstract

Insulated rail joints are a safety valve in railways that are used as part of the signaling system to determine the position of a train. Insulated rail joints are the weakest part of the railroad where their life ranges between a third and half of the life of rails. Proper functioning of Insulated Rail Joints IRJs is essential for the safe operation of the railway signaling systems and broken rail identification circuitries. To gain substantial understanding of the current design of Insulated Rail Joints IRJs and their failure analysis are reviewed.
