The Beijing Metro Line 12 is the first metro line that combines Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC and Railway Signal Safety Protocol Type I (RSSP-I). The line is currently under construction and expected to be put into operation at the end of 2024.

Beijing Metro Line 12 is a metro project in northern Beijing. It is 29,6 km long with 21 stations, located in one of the busiest commuting areas, connecting four major urban districts. The project is estimated to be put into operation at the end of 2024. It is the first metro line that uses Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC as the fallback system of CBTC in Beijing.

Furthermore, following the combination of the Frauscher Communication board (COM) and the Railway Signal Safety Protocol (RSSP) that has been implemented successfully in Huangpu Tram T1 of Guangzhou and the Fenghuang Maglev Line in Hunan Province, Line 12 is also the first metro line that uses this proven technology.

The RSSP is mentioned in the standard specification for the Chinese railway industry, which has been commonly applied for data transmission in the CBTC system. Frauscher’s technical team has developed the communication board that supports the RSSP protocol (COM-RSSP) and successfully obtained the CENELEC SIL 4 Certification two years ago.

Software interface

Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC is able to communicate with higher-level systems via the Ethernet interface using customised protocols. The protocols RSSP and FSFB have been used in China.

Installation friendly

The tail cable of Wheel Sensor RSR180 and Frauscher Rail Claw SK150 are specially designed for easy installation without track drilling.

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.

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.
