The contact state and the distribution of forces are complex and essential points in wheel-rail relationship. Given the problem that the current dynamic wheel-rail contact state is challenging to detect, a theory to detect the two-point contact state of the wheel-rail in switch area using a discrete gauge column was presented and proved in the finite element model.
