Wheel Sensor RSR360

As the name suggests, our next generation of wheel sensors will be a 360° solution in terms of functionality and performance. Two of the most important features will include enhanced wheel detection sensitivity and higher immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

To this end, RSR360 will incorporate the best features of its predecessors in an improved form. As a pioneer in axle counting solutions, we are thrilled to shift train detection to the next level – for maximum safety, availability, and efficiency.

Benefits at a glance

Improved signal-to-noise-ratio

Maximum mechanical robustness

Proven immunity to EMI

Self-testing functionality

Simplification of track maintenance

State-of-the-art interfaces for safe and secure communication

Performance by design

Our next generation of wheel sensors will offer more: It will be more robust against mechanical influences and easier to install, while providing greater flexibility in terms of sensor positioning, which leads to a simplification of track maintenance. Due to its lightweight design, it achieves even more accurate results with fewer components.

From FAdC® to FTVS: For the best results in train detection, Frauscher RSR360 is designed to communicate perfectly with our whole axle counter portfolio.

Speaking of communication: Our new sensor generation will utilise the latest interfaces and standards for secure and protected data transmission and maximum connectivity.

Clean sensing principle: High sensitivity and absolute immunity

The SNR (signal-to-noise-ratio) of Frauscher RSR360 will be significantly higher than its predecessors, which primarily enables two things: the flexible positioning of the sensor without reducing sensitivity, while simultaneously maximising immunity against any kind of mechanical interference or electromagnetic influences.

Mechanical robustness: Exceeding our own standards

Best practice improved: We have reduced the weight of the sensor and improved the design of the rail claw. The plug-in connection no longer requires a flange and is secured directly to the rail claw, into which the sensor is then simply screwed. This leads to significant improvements in mounting and daily operations, as the entire solution is less sensitive to vibrations from passing trains.

Further improvements: The sensor calibration is carried out using indoor equipment. After the calibration procedure is completed, the sensor is maintenance free due to self-test capabilities.

Perhaps one of the biggest advantages is that the sensor will be immune against partial traversing. Due to an enhanced signal signature with the corresponding signal evaluation, it is possible to reliably recognise instances of partial traversing and filter them out.
