The paper considers the formation of approaches to standardizing parameters that ensure a given level of impact on passengers and cargo when passing rolling stock through turnout switches, considers the dynamics of interaction between rolling stock and switches in the horizontal plane. There is now a need to accelerate the design and implementation of turnouts on the operated railway network, which will significantly increase the permissible train speeds, especially on the side track. One of the most important tasks in designing such turnouts is to provide comfortable conditions for passengers when the train moves to the side track by limiting the values of the so-called centrifugal acceleration and increment (changing) of centrifugal acceleration per unit of time (second). If it is necessary to realize the speed of movement on the side track above 50 km/h, the main factor in determining the radius of the switch curve according to comfort conditions is to limit the magnitude of the increment (change) of centrifugal acceleration per unit time (second). Based on this, when designing switches for high speeds, it is advisable to use curves of variable radius of rolling stock action and switches in the horizontal plane as a switch curve.
