Multi-track rotational railway junction

A system for an automated railway switch-junction, the system comprising:

• a rotational platform having a plurality of railroad track segments configured to connect at least one incoming track to at least one outcoming track;
• a stationary base configured to support the rotational platform mounted on a central axis attached to the stationary base;
• a rotational source attached to the stationary base and configured to rotate the rotational platform by a rotational roller positioned in direct contact with a side edge of the rotational platform;
• a locking device positioned on the stationary base and configured to lock the rotational platform into a position for connecting the incoming and the outcoming tracks;
• a locking device motor ,coupled to the locking device and configured to engage or disengage a locking mechanism of the locking device with the rotational platform;
• a plurality of rollers and bearings positioned in-between the stationary base and the rotational platform configured to provide support and moving ability to the rotational platform;
• a central control unit connected to the stationary base and configured to send commands to the rotational source and to the locking device motor in order to rotate and to lock the rotational platform;
• a platform positioning sensor and a locking device positioning sensor connected to the central control unit and configured to provide data on a positioning of the rotational platform and on a state of the locking device;
• and
• a signaling block connected to the sensors and to the central control unit, the signaling block is configured to provide signals indicating position of the railway switch-junction,
• wherein the center control unit is configured to receive commands from a remote dispatcher.
