Making public transport operations easier

To turn these challenges into actionable insight, Frauscher implemented Insights Diagnostics across the Dietikon network, giving Aargau Verkehr a dashboard overview of overall system status alongside dedicated views for elements like track sections and detection points, showing historical events and details such as the sensor's current curve. This gives their team full visibility into notifications and their underlying causes, as well as a complete overview of their wheel sensors' health status. Before acting, the team can now identify whether a notification is caused by current drift, permanent occupancy, a partial traversing, or another influence — and plan precise countermeasures, such as calibrating a sensor without unnecessary site visits.

Because Frauscher Insights Diagnostics continuously monitors the condition of the system and all connected wheel sensors, it supports more than immediate troubleshooting — sensor status can be tracked constantly, enabling efficient planning of maintenance activities. This gives Aargau Verkehr the foundation for a predictive maintenance strategy built on the ongoing condition of the network, rather than on reactive fault response alone. The project shows how Frauscher Insights Diagnostics turns already-available FAdC® diagnostic data into actionable maintenance intelligence, helping Aargau Verkehr run its demanding urban tram network with confidence — even under challenging environmental conditions.
