Resolving Wheel Detection Challenges

Why consider wheel detection that provides high reliability?

Because at some point, your system’s reliability has or will be affected by these common conditions:

Flooding, snow, and iceAccumulation of leaves or debris on tracksExcessive road saltingElectromagnetic interferenceRusty rails or other deteriorated conditions

How do axle counters maintain high reliability?

Robust Frauscher axle counting systemssolve issues resulting fromharsh environmental conditions, deteriorated track and ballast conditions, electromagnetic interference and other common situationsthat can negatively impact conventional systems. Consistent high reliability is provenin a wide range of applications:

Grade Crossing Warning Systems

Increase uptime and safety at crossings using axle counters, available as a standalone system or an overlay to existing systems

Yards

Axle counters offer a safe, reliable solution for switch point protection and yard automation, easily accommodating complex yard layouts

CBTC Secondary Systems

Axle counters as a CBTC secondary system ensure smooth and efficient operations if the main system is compromised

Triggering Trackside Equipment

Robust wheel sensors will reliably trigger a wide range of trackside equipment regardless of environmental and track conditions

Primary Train Detection

Axle counters for mainline signaling provide high reliability regardless of environment, low maintenance costs and an easily integrated design

Dark Territory

Signal dark territory to increase safety with a flexible, low maintenance axle counting system that is reliable even in deteriorated weather and track conditions

What are the components of a Frauscher axle counting system?
