The present invention relates to a track monitoring system of a railway turnout, and more particularly, to a remote track monitoring system that enables a monitor to accurately check a turnout track state through a monitoring control unit without going out to the track using a remote control system. .

Train tracks are generally exposed to very poor conditions.

In other words, it is the worst environmental condition because it is combined with snow thermal expansion, freezing during winter season, and track thermal expansion, rainfall, dust and waste oil during the summer season. It is monitored visually by inspection.

In particular, the turnout line of the railway is composed of a combination of various kinds of rails, crossings and components as well as a poor natural environment. Should be done.

In recent years, as the speed of the train increases, it is a safety risk for the track source to approach the branch line directly and check the track condition. Follow.

In addition, visual inspection through the daily inspection of the track source takes a lot of time to check the exact operating state of the tap-off system and the line condition of a specific part, it is difficult to determine the exact time of replacement and repair.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to monitor the branching system by remotely checking whether the track is branching correctly by applying a remote control system and whether the track is branched correctly.
