Train Detection System
Customized train detection solutions for a variety of applications
From track vacancy detection to triggering functions and measuring tasks: Customized product solutions by Frauscher are an excellent choice for various rail applications. Axle counters are already the first choice for fail-safe track vacancy detection globally, providing high availability and lower life cycle costs. For this reason, in areas such as North America axle counters are quickly becoming the train detection method of choice, often replacing or augmenting conventional technology such as track circuits.
Benefits at a glance
Fail-safe track vacancy detection
High availability
Proven quality
Minimal maintenance costs
Boosting operational efficiency with tailored solutions
Inductive wheel sensors by Frauscher set the benchmark for state-of-the-art wheel sensor technology. This is particularly true when it comes to reliably generating precise data for various applications in global railway segments. Mounted directly onto the track, our products collect information where it originates. Based on decades of experience, we can work with customers to select system components according to environmental conditions, infrastructure, and rolling stock requirements.
The result: Both operational efficiency and interoperability are significantly improved.
Different applications, same reliable performance
Frauscher Train Detection Systems play a key role in making railway operations safe and efficient, utilizing different principles based on application requirements:
According to this principle, rail wheels are identified and monitored. The analog signal recorded at the tracks is reliably processed by prefabricated evaluation boards. These can be positioned either at the interlocking or in cubicles along the rail line in decentralized architectures. The benefit: No active electronic components are placed on the track itself. Thanks to the precise coordination of the evaluation board with Frauscher Wheel Sensors, applications with up to SIL4-compliant safety standards can be designed and implemented.
