Axle counting technology combined with inductive wheel sensors forms the foundation for safe, reliable and cost-effective generation of clear and occupied reports. Safe monitoring of the track sections can take place both in the station area and over longer distances between two stations or signal boxes. A particularly cost-effective feature is the multiple use of counting heads in various counting section (double or triple usage).

Field tests and/or test installations are a major part of the CENELEC process for validation of pre-set specifications – particularly with the new axle counting generation Frauscher Advanced Counter (FAdC).
The test centre constructed for this purpose on the Passau – Wels stretch of track that belongs to the Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB), located close to St. Marienkirchen, offers optimal basic conditions for this.
FAdC is an ongoing further development of the axle counting system ACS2000, which is used throughout the world. Significant innovations include the implementation of the counting head evaluation and the axle counting algorithm in one single board – the Frauscher Advanced Evaluation Board – AEB for short. The innovative FAdC therefore replaces the relay or optocoupler interface with a secure serial protocol on an ethernet basis.

A counting head comprises a wheel sensor and an evaluation board.
One or more counting head systems of a counting head report an occupied status.
A counting head comprises two sensor systems labelled Sys1 and Sys2.
