With its tailor-made axle counting solutions, Frauscher offers reliable and cost-effective train detection systems.
Track circuits are still widely used for train detection. The reasons for that are rooted in history. In recent years, however, they have increasingly been replaced by axle counting systems employing inductive wheel sensors. Their advantages over track circuits include:
- unlimited track section length based on network infrastructure
- largely unaffected by environmental conditions
- provision of additional information
- low maintenance and life-cycle costs
- fast and easy installation
Frauscher Axle Counters consist of two major parts: trackside equipment and indoor equipment. Highly reliable wheel sensors are mounted onto the tracks, while leading-edge electronics boards constitute flexible and space-saving indoor equipment. The latter can be quickly and efficiently integrated into existing signaling technology systems via state-of-the-art software and widely used hardware interfaces.
To provide more economical, decentralized solutions with maximum availability of information and data gathered at any location, modern communication interfaces such as the Frauscher Safe Ethernet protocol FSE are used between the interlocking and axle counting systems.
