The Jhansi-Bina railway line is a strategically important line which belongs to North Central Railway and is in Uttar Pradesh. Initially, the line featured analogue axle counters for detecting trains in individual track sections as well as a DC track circuit train detection system in less congested areas.

Eventually, there was a requirement to get them replaced with the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC®. This project is one of Frauscher’s iconic Indian Railway projects, featuring 221 counting heads and 148 track sections.

In this project, the FAdC® indoor electronics were placed in 19 stations and 15 block huts, and all 34 are connected over an Ethernet based redundant network, in a distributed architecture.

The wheel sensors were mounted onto the rail with the patented Frauscher Rail Claw which makes the installation process easy and convenient, since no drilling is required. In turn, this preserves the structural integrity of the rail, saves costs, and reduces the dwell time on track for the installation engineers. Additionally, the distributed architecture used in this project minimises setup costs and enhances scalability in an efficient and cost-effective way.

Increasing Availability

COM redundancy, PSC redundancy & network redundancy with bus architecture for very high availability.

Easy and Cost effective Integration

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

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.

Dillinger Hütte

A new ladder track was required to provide more parking tracks in the steel plant. At the same time, the layout of the dead end tracks were optimised and the efficiency of the whole depot improved by installing the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC®i in combination with the wheel sensor RSR180. With the implementation of the Frauscher Diagnostic System FDS, the overall maintenance costs can be significantly reduced.

Reducing Delays in a Metro (subway) Environment

A large metro operator was researching ways to reduce bottlenecks that were causing significant delays at a busy station. With two routes dividing in close proximity to the station and a complex auto-routing system that required the use of a 30-second timer to release switches, trains would frequently back up when approaching the station.

Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Supplementing Audio Frequency Track Circuits with Axle Counters

At the Charlotte Area Transit System, frequent false red signal overruns resulted when electromagnetic interference caused “bobbing” of the line’s audio frequency track circuits. The Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC® was subsequently considered as an alternative to these track circuits to eliminate the occurrence of false red signal overruns.
