Triggering of Systems

When implementing a triggering system, the operator’s focus is to achieve high reliability and accuracy, maintain smooth operations, and obtain accurate asset management information. Frauscher wheel sensors and wheel detection systems provide crucial train wheel presence and movement data for railroad systems such as hot box detectors, flat wheel detectors or train identification – reliable, accurate and without trackside electronics.

The better the data, the better the operation. For a railway to run smoothly and consistently maintain uptime, accurate data is a necessity.  This data is acquired through the reliable and precise detection of axles, speed, direction, and exact wheel position for applications such as:

• Train identification (AEI readers)

• Hot box detection

• Wheel flat detection

• Lubricators

• Wheel impact load detectors

• Door control systems

• Automatic warning systems

For these and other triggering applications, Frauscher wheel sensors are ideal for accurately monitoring the status of trains and various track situations, providing the optimum basis for data-driven asset management.
