Summary
And concrete has certain tendencies in the heat to expand and break up, said Schnieder. This is dangerous because you suddenly have 10, 15 centimeters of concrete in front of you in the car, against which you are driving. Schnieder called the susceptibility of switches and rails in extreme temperatures. “But here, too, we are trying to implement standards that are as heat-resilient as possible by renewing the grid.” Published according to the editorial standards of the Handelsblatt. Even then, heat damage cannot be completely excluded, especially at extreme temperatures. But overall, the problem has become smaller.
Furthermore, According to a list by the ADAC, several motorways were affected. The air conditioners have been upgraded. In the new models, the susceptibility is lower, but there is also a problem at extreme temperatures again and again. In the case of the railway, too, one is increasingly adjusting to heat protection, says Schnieder. There, too, very good work has been done in recent years, especially with regard to air conditioning.
In addition, Work is underway there to become more resilient. In the last heat wave, heat damage such as ruptured road surfaces had led to closures of motorways in Germany. In the case of new concrete tracks, damage would occur much less frequently. “That is why the best heat protection is to be technically up-to-date,” the minister said.
