These problems are not unique to switches in the Netherlands and they include: sensitivity to falling leaves and cold weather, which is often the cause of failures in the train timetable; and, expensive point heating, with high CO2 emissions, due to the high power consumption of the point heating in which 10% of the energy is consumed for the heating of the points and 90% of the energy is lost for heating the outside air! The WIRAS design railway-switch can function in cold weather without point heating.
