This publication presents an innovative solution for measuring throwing force with RadesVisu diagnostic module. The module measures throwing force using permanently installed components in the turnout and visualizes the obtained results in an application enabling remote data access. The validation of the RadesVisu diagnostic module data was based on a comparison with the results obtained using the MMS-1 device for the same turnout switch operations. The obtained results demonstrate the reliability of the measurements and the possibility of using the RadesVisu module for automatic recording of turnout switching resistance and point machine - turnout preventive diagnostics.
