Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / railways, safety case | | German term or phrase: Bauweiche | | Die Betriebsart *Bauweiche* verhindert per Softwareverfahren einen Weichenumlauf, d.h. die Aufschaltung der Stellspannung wird signaltechnisch sicher verhindert. Diese Lage wird, im Gegensatz zur Betriebsart Antriebsersatz, weiterhin überwacht. Die Betriebsart dient z.B. dazu, ohne vorhandene Weichenansteuerung Fahrstraßen einstellen zu können und signalabhängig zu fahren. |

1 hr confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 temporary switch (temporary points)
Explanation:
A railroad switch (known in British English as a point, a set of points, or occasionally a turnout) is a construction where a railroad track A splits into two tracks B and C.
:
The switch contains a pair of linked tapering rails that can be moved laterally (point blades).

Vossloh Cogifer SA is the world's second biggest switch manufacturer.
:
Conventional switches, which account for about 50 percent of sales, are used either to replace existing products or in the construction of new railway lines.
