The Beijing Metro Line 12 is the first metro line that combines Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC® and Railway Signal Safety Protocol Type I (RSSP-I). The line (from Sijiqingqiao Station to Dongbabei Station) was placed into full operation on 15 December 2024.

Beijing Metro Line 12 is a metro project in northern Beijing. It is 27.5 km long with 20 stations, located in one of the busiest commuting areas, connecting four major urban districts. It is the first metro line that uses the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC® with software interface as a CBTC fallback system in Beijing.

Furthermore, following the combination of the Frauscher Communication board (COM) and the Railway Signal Safety Protocol (RSSP) that has been implemented successfully in Huangpu Tram T1 of Guangzhou and the Fenghuang Maglev Line in Hunan Province, Line 12 is also the first metro line that uses this proven technology.

The RSSP is mentioned in the standard specification for the Chinese railway industry, which has been commonly applied for data transmission in the CBTC system. Frauscher’s technical team has developed the communication board that supports the RSSP protocol (COM-RSSP) and successfully obtained the CENELEC SIL 4 Certification two years ago.

Software interface

Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC® is able to communicate with higher-level systems via the Ethernet interface using customised protocols. The protocols RSSP and FSFB have been used in China.

Installation friendly

The tail cable of Wheel Sensor RSR180 and Frauscher Rail Claw SK150 are specially designed for easy installation without track drilling.

Toronto Transit Commission

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Line 1 Yonge-University is Toronto’s longest subway line, with track circuits utilized for signalling. Due to an increasing number of daily passengers and an aged system the need for upgrading without interfering with the daily operations became readily apparent. It was further required that the new signalling system functions independently of the existing system. It would provide CBTC fallback functionalities, and work as an overlay to the current track circuit-based system.

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.
