The disclosure relates to a non-national standard turnout drive system based on a double 2-vote-2 architecture, including an interlocking processing subsystem IPS, an interlocking maintenance station SDM, a non-national standard turnout drive module HIOM and an interlocking maintenance station SDM, wherein the non-national standard turnout drive module HIOM, a full-electronic communication module EIOCOM2, and the interlocking processing subsystem IPS are connected with each other in order, and the full-electronic communication module EIOCOM2 is connected to the interlocking maintenance station SDM; two non-national standard turnout drive module HIOMs, which are mutually redundant, obtain turnout drive commands through the interlocking processing subsystem IPS to control drive relays in a non-national standard turnout to lift and fall for driving the turnout to rotate toward a specified direction, while collecting representation information of the turnout and determining a position of the turnout. Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has advantages of high reliability and strong maintainability.

The present disclosure relates to a switch control method for a rail transit signal system, and an apparatus for the method. When a switch control command of the signal system fails or the signal system confirms agreement with local switch control, the method is configured for performing maintenance operation on a switch via the local switch control apparatus. Compared to the prior art, the present disclosure has the advantages of meeting the requirement of the local switch control, ensuring the safety of a maintenance person and operation, etc.

A monorail switch for a monorail guideway comprises a moveable guide beam having lateral running surfaces and an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism, equipped with a counterweight, is operative to move the moveable guide beam from a tangent position, where the moveable guide beam is aligned with a tangent travelling direction, to a turnout position, where the moveable guide beam is aligned with a diverting direction. Potential energy stored in the counterweight is released and at least partially stored in the form of elastic potential energy in the lateral running surfaces when the moveable guide beam is moved from the tangent position to the turnout position. Similarly, the elastic potential energy stored in the lateral running surfaces is released and at least partially stored in the form of potential energy by the counterweight when the moveable guide beam is moved from the turnout position to the tangent position.
