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).
Additional information such as speed or wheel diameter offers the operator the opportunity to optimise the waiting time at the level crossing, for example, or to detect vehicle types by different wheel diameters.
Central evaluation of the analogue wheel sensor signal forms the basis for exact detection and calculation of the diameter and the speed of the traversing axle. The capability to determine these parameters reliably and selectively constitutes one major advantage of Frauscher’s wheel detection system architecture.
During traversing, the wheel flange damps the inductive wheel sensor. The analogue signal aspect is transmitted to the evaluation board as a direct current signal. The relevant evaluation board is responsible for evaluating this signal and making the appropriate digital switching patterns available at the interface, in accordance with the customer application. Standardised output characteristics in accordance with CENELEC are available at various safety levels (SIL1 to SIL4).

Test coupon PB
Throughout the whole commissioning phase, verification that the wheel detection system is functioning correctly is required. Using the test coupon PB, it is simple to simulate a traversing at the wheel sensor.
Track connection box GAK
The wheel sensor cable can be connected to the outer cable system using a track connection box. As only a clamping unit is required for this and no electronic components, this connection is also very easy to establish. In the standard design, one track connection box allows connection of up to four wheel sensors.
This group of wheel sensors is characterised by technology that has been tried and tested over many years and by continuous further developments. Features that should be highlighted include the omission of an electronic calibration device in the track and the simple and rapid assembly process. The calibration process takes place at the evaluation board in the inner system.
In conjunction with an appropriate evaluation device, the wheel sensor type RSR180 is suited to reliable detection of rolling stock wheels. It is conveniently secured using a rail claw at the rail base. This means that there is no need to drill into the rail! The wheel sensor RSR180 is connected to the evaluation board in the inner system using a signal cable with star-quad stranding.
Depending on the signal evaluation, the scope of use for the wheel sensor RSR180 extends from simple reporting and monitoring tasks and detection of the direction of travel to axle counting at speeds ranging from 0-450 km/h.
After assembly, it is not necessary to implement any further settings in the track area. Electrical adjustment takes place at the evaluation board in the inner system. The wheel sensor RSR180 consists of two wheel sensor systems arranged along the track.
The wheel sensor family RSR122/RSR123 was originally developed on the basis of requirements stipulated by Deutsche Bahn. Wheel sensors from this range are now in use throughout the world.
The wheel sensor RSR123 may be understood as a follow-up product or further development of the wheel sensor RSR122. The wheel sensors RSR123 and RSR122 are compatible as far as interfaces and fixing to the rails are concerned.
- Optimum resistance against electromagnetic interference, thanks to the patented V.Mix technology®
- Convenient plug-in connection for the connecting cable
- Automated calibration process from outside the hazardous area.
Consequently, wheel sensors of type RSR123 are used by preference wherever strong electromagnetic fields can be expected - use of the linear eddy current brake (LWB), low-lying transformers or drive motors and similar devices.
The wheel sensor family RSR121 is the cost-effective solution for applications that have no responsibility for safety or that have lower safety responsibilities during shifting and shunting, during marshalling or for simple switching tasks. Output signals based on a standardised interface (NAMUR standard) constitute a universal customer interface.
Experience pays off - More than 60,000 wheel sensors and 20,000 axle counting systems are in operation in over 50 countries on all continents of the world, to our customers' complete satisfaction. These years of operational experience, together with a global analysis of the background conditions and vehicle/rail systems form the basis for efficient and reliable project planning and implementation.
Precise and reliable wheel sensors require optimal interplay between mechanical and electronic components, and therefore years of experience in the use of various materials and processes.
The precise assembly of the wheel sensors constitutes a particular challenge when using grooved rails with trams and metros. A tried-and-tested, efficient solution is now available to satisfy any requirement in this area. The grooved rail claws enable the traversing of wheel sensors in road areas, or enable wheel sensors to be incorporated in pavement surfaces. Grooved rail claws can be clamped, welded or connected using screws, depending on customer requirements.

Baudis Bermann Rösch Verkehrstechnik GmbH (BBR) is supplying the control and safety technology, vehicle equipment and passenger information for expansion of the light railway in Bursa, Turkey. The first section was successfully commissioned in December 2010.
The light railway system in the city of Bursa is being extended along two stretches of track, providing an additional eight kilometres. The expansion project will therefore connect two important residential areas and the University of Bursa to the light railway system. The work on the second section of construction, running as far as the University, has already started and will be completed in summer 2011. In the third phase, two stations will be added to the North line, so that the modern Korupark shopping centre is linked to the city centre. Prior to commissioning, the depot will also be expanded, in order to provide additional capacity for the new rolling stock.
Due to the expansion measures, the existing interlocking was replaced by the modular, electronic SIL-VIA from BBR Verkehrstechnik. The operator favoured modern axle counting technology as the track switching method. The successful use of Frauscher axle counting technology was based on a test system, which was used to analyse the specific features of the stretch of track and the rolling stock used, and was then reflected in the configuration of the axle counting technology. For the 48 counting circuits, Frauscher supplied the axle counting system ACS2000 and 100 wheel sensors of the RSR180 type.
Field testing is a fundamental and vital step in the development of a product.
In the course of the renovation work on the Passau-Wels stretch, we were able to set up our own test centre for the purposes of field trials and tests. This was constructed on the western railway track in the vicinity of the Allerding gravel mill.
It therefore provides sufficient space for two mounting rack frames, a cable termination support and one data processor.
The field testing of our new axle counting system Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC is currently in progress in the Allerding switchgear building, along with other trials for speed measurement and tests on wheel sensor RSR123.
Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation Ltd (MRVC Ltd), a state-run project company controlled by Indian Railways, awards the largest contract for axle counting systems in recent years to a consortium under the technical leadership of Frauscher Sensortechnik GmbH.
The contract encompasses system design, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of the axle counting system ACS2000 in 19 stations on the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Mumbai (CSTM)-Thane, Kalyan & Ravli Junction Yard line within the Mumbai Division of the Central Railway, and in the Jogeshwari area within the Mumbai Division of the Western Railway. The contract involves fitting out more than 1000 track sections with the latest wheel sensor technology from Frauscher.
“For us, this success constitutes a further milestone in the long-term expansion of our market position within the strategic growth markets of China, India and Russia. Over the coming years, our aim is to unlock a significant share in the wheel detection and axle counting sector of the Indian railway and metro market”, explained Michael Thiel, Managing Director of Austrian-based Frauscher Sensortechnik GmbH.
