The article discusses and provides an analysis of various thermal regulation methods with aim of finding the best method for railway turnout (point) electric heating control system. Various point heating regulation options, their properties, advantages and disadvantages are described. A comparison of various point heating regulation possibilities for optimal point electric heating regulation is performed. After performed analysis and specifying the most suitable regulation option, modelling is executed in MATLAB to evaluate achieved results. Results of the modelling are reflected in the graph surface view which indicates the correct application of chosen solution. Steps of future research and creation of expert systems for regulation of heating intensity of point electric heating are described in conclusions.
