Reliability without compromise

Snow, ice, floods and extreme heat are no match for the RSR180, successfully used in over 70 countries around the world under the most adverse conditions. Thanks to the IP68 rating, this wheel sensor can reliably withstand flooding conditions without compromising operations. This makes the RSR180 the ideal choice where harsh conditions are the norm, and where reliable wheel detection is crucial. The RSR180 is also particularly robust against mechanical stress and in the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Wheel Sensor RSR180

Thanks to its exceptional safety and reliability, the Frauscher Wheel Sensor RSR180 has gained widespread global adoption.

Class 1 Grade Crossing Enhancement FAdC and RSR180

Frauscher was approached by a US Class 1 railroad regarding a grade crossing owned and operated by them, on a track crossing a public road. The operator’s main goal was to find a signaling solution that would seamlessly integrate with the current crossing controller and keep the crossing operational under challenging operational conditions. The Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC and Wheel Sensor RSR180 were chosen as the ideal solution for this particular project.

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.

Tracking Trains in Houston

Houston MetroRail (METRO for short) is comprised of three light-rail lines covering 22 miles. Two-car, low-floor trainsets are powered by overhead catenary and operated on a mix of rail types, including embedded, grooved, concrete, and ballasted track. Harsh weather conditions such as extreme heat, humidity, and storms with heavy rains causing floods are typical for Houston. Combined with the variable track structure this caused significant malfunctions of the wheel sensors of METRO’s signalling system.
