Modern turnout technology for fastest railroads

Fast connections between cities and optimum links to public transport mean that modern high-speed trains are a serious alternative to air travel and private transport. Given the growing environmental awareness and the trend in energy prices, today‘s high-speed technology offers huge potential. Speeds of almost 400 km/h and diverging speeds exceeding 200 km/h make stringent demands, but can be mastered safely and comfortably today thanks to state-of-the-art turnout technology.
