The application for the patent was published on October 02, 2026, under issue no. 40/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out inspections of safety-relevant states of elements in a switch construction or crossing construction, the distance between said elements being changeable relative to one another. In order to ensure that measures on site, such as securing switch components or adjusting the travel path of the tongue rail, are only necessary when the elements that can be adjusted relative to one another no longer meet specified requirements, according to the invention at least one second element, the position of which can be changed relative to a stationary first element, is detected in its designated inspection position by means of at least one contactless first sensor in order to determine an actual value, which is compared with a target value or a limit value associated with the target value, and, if the actual value reaches or exceeds the target or limit value, an impermissible state is signalled, and/or the temporal progression of the actual value is determined in comparison with a target or limit value, wherein said progression is used to derive a tendency to carry out activities or expected changes in state of the switch construction or crossing construction, and wherein signals characterising the inspection are forwarded to a central evaluation unit, wherein the transfer occurs over a network via a secure protocol.
