ABSTRACT
The article presents selected results of thermovision measurements of EOR elements used for heating railway turnouts under the BRIK2/0036/2022 project. The tests were carried out for various types of railway turnouts (ordinary). The results made it possible to observe the temperature distribution for different con-struction solutions of turnouts. Further work is focused on preparing assumptions and criteria for developing an application supporting the interpretation of thermo-grams, which can be a tool supporting the diagnostics of EOR devices. The creation of a simple diagnostic tool that allows the evaluation and interpretation of the obtained thermogram may enable maintenance services to make the right decisions in the field of operation.
