Purpose: To examine the life cycle characteristics of single-point and double-point tram track switches under comparable operational and installation conditions. Methods: An analysis of the volume of fundamental maintenance tasks performed on different switch designs over an identical duration, ensuring adherence to technical operational standards. Results: The findings indicate a reduced maintenance requirement for double-point switches compared to single-point switches within the same observation period, even when subjected to increased operational loads. Practical significance: The practical implications of this research are significant, particularly given the widespread use of single-point switches in Saint Petersburg and other urban tram networks. Establishing the economic viability of maintaining a specific switch design directly influences the overall life cycle cost, thereby providing a basis for evaluating the efficacy of different switch types in the design and operation of tram systems.
