Jhansi - Bina Railway Line | India

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.

Three-rail Castellbisbal

The dual-gauge system of the Spanish railway network is quite challenging in terms of track vacancy detection: Wheel sensors must be installed on two rails next to each other in tight spaces and have to detect axles reliably on the respective rail. Frauscher developed a solution which copes also with the complexity of different interlocking technology in the stations along the line.

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.
