Adra Yard belongs to the Southeastern Railway Zone of Indian Railways and is in West Bengal. Initially the yard was equipped with track circuits and there was a requirement to get them replaced with the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC®. This project is one of Frauscher’s esteemed Indian Railway Projects with a coverage of 139 counting heads and 97 track sections.

In this project, the FAdC® is placed in the Central Location as well as in three different end cabins. All four locations are connected in ring structure with redundant path of optical fibre cable for communication. Both the Frauscher Diagnostic System FDS are placed in Central Location and configured to connect to the rail network for remote diagnostic. The vital output of all track sections is in Central Location which is further connected to the Electronic Interlocking. Reset of all track sections can be carried out in Central Location.

The Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC® is highly flexible regarding design and architecture. The Wheel Sensor RSR180 was also utilised, being rated IP68 protection class (waterproof) which means it is immune to floods, moisture or water. Due to the adverse weather conditions in this area, the wheel sensor’s ability to withstand such conditions is particularly useful.

Easy and cost-effective integration

Greater cost saving due to distributed architecture and lower maintenance requirement.

Increasing availability

Greater uptime and availability due to resistance to adverse weather.

Renewal signalling FAdC® and RSR123

Banedanmark, the Danish railway infrastructure owner, started replacing the existing signalling system in the Eastern region of Denmark in 2009 to implement the newest proven signalling technology, based on standard industrial hardware components and redundant system configurations. Uniform system interfaces should reduce signalling failures to provide a better reliability and punctuality of the entire network. For this project, Frauscher delivered the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC® and the Frauscher Wheel Sensor RSR123.

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.
