Tram Huangpu Line 1 (HP1) line is located in urban areas with high traffic density and passenger volume as well as many level crossings. The adverse weather conditions can cause flooding of the track bed and add to the challenges for reliable system availability and operations. To provide safe and efficient wheel detection on this line, the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC was installed and customised according to the Chinese Ministry of Railways Railway Safety Communication Protocol RSSP-1.

Tram Huangpu Line 1 (HP1) is the first tram line in Huangpu District of Guangzhou, which stretches 14,4 kilometers from Xiangxue Station to Xinfeng Station with a total of 20 stations and can support trams running at a maximum speed of 70 km/h.

The line is located in urban areas with high traffic density and passenger volume as well as many level crossings. The adverse weather conditions in Guangzhou, including heavy rain, typhoons and high humidity levels, can subsequently cause flooding of the track bed which may affect operation.

To ensure smooth operation in harsh conditions like floods, the IP68 rated Wheel Sensor RSR180 was installed in combination with the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC. As the FAdC can be configured with a customised protocol, it was decided to implement the Railway Signal Safety Protocol RSSP-I protocol–Type I of RSSP, which is introduced as Chinese standard by China’s Ministry of Railways. In close collaboration of CRSC Xi’an Railway Signal Co., Ltd. (CRSC Xi’an) and CRSC Research & Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. (CRSCD) together with Frauscher, the RSSP-implemented FAdC product was provided for the ­first time with an efficient and customised service. The COM-RSSP has been given the CENELEC SIL 4 certification in March 2021.

High availability

The RSR180 is not impacted by environmental conditions such as flooding, snow or severe temperatures.

Customised interface

The software interface of the FAdC can be conf­igured with the Frauscher Safe Ethernet FSE protocol or other customised protocols. Both Chinese and Austrian Frauscher teams worked together closely with the customer to provide the RSSP-implemented FAdC solution with an efficient and customised service.

Increasing system availability

The implementation of the Supervisor Track Section STS functions takes negative effects such as lightning into account, reducing the costs and times of maintenance. Moreover, the STS can be integrated into a modern efficient interlocking system so that the troubleshooting and component replacement can be carried out simultaneously, saving time for operators.

Homologation for the Île-de-France tramway network

The network of Île-de-France tramways in the region of Paris has been a showcase model of public transport since the line T1 opened in 1992. Over a million passengers use these trams daily and today, the system consists of 11 lines covering over 100 kilometres of track. Over the next years it is planned to expand this network even further. For track vacancy detection, the Frauscher axle counting system is considered as being the ideal solution for this comprehensive network.

Ensuring reliable rail operations across India´s longest railroad bridge

The Bogibeel Bridge is India’s longest railroad bridge that connects Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, carrying both rail and road traffic across the Brahmaputra River. Harsh environmental conditions and structural constraints made conventional signaling impractical. The Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC axle counting system was selected for its proven reliability and low maintenance requirements, even in challenging conditions.

CBTC Fallback System on Beijing Metro Lines

Beijing metro, one of the busiest lines in the world, was Frauscher’s very first assignment when entering the Chinese market. Due to its utilised capacity, it requires a great level of stability, reliability and performance of the entire signalling system. The Communication Based Train Control System (CBTC) applied here relies on a backup system consisting of fixed automatic train detection systems. Axle counting systems from Frauscher are perfectly suited for the accurate operation of such stand-by systems.
