The paper proposes a mathematical model of train-turnout interaction in the mid-frequency range (0-500Hz). The model accounts for the effects of road profile variation along the track and of local variation of track flexibility. The proposed approach is able to represent the condition of one wheel being simultaneously in contact with more than one rail, allowing the accurate prediction of the effect of wheels beeing transferred from one rail to another when passing over the switch toe and the crossing nose. Comprehensive results of train-turnout interaction during the negotiation of the main and the branch lines are presented, including the effect of wear of wheel/reail profiles and presence of track misalignment. In the final part of the paper, comparisons are performed between the results of numerical simulations and line measurements performed on two different turnouts for urban railway lines, showing a good agreement between experimental and numerical results.
