System elements of the plug-and-play turnout
VAE SI - SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE

Innovative, modular system elements represent a new era of turnout design – System Intelligence.

The best turnout system for the specific requirement is pre-assembled in one of VAE's plants so that it is fully operational, then it is de-livered to the site and installed into the track in a minimum amount of time. Plug and play - just in time.

Logistics

The Plug-and-Play turnout is pre-assembled under factory conditions and fully operational before delivered just-in-time to the track. Tracklaying needs a minimum of time and the turnout is ready for operation and integrated in the signalling system before tamping. 

The pre-assembled turnout

A necessary condition is the new modular system concept for turnouts with HYDROSTAR®, IS 2000 and VAE ROADMASTER 2000.

Advantages

Higher availability of the track because of short track closures, thereby effecting a considerable saving in time and money
