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.

AcelorMittal is the operator of the Uglerudnaya industrial railway station, located in Temirtau, Kazakhstan. The station features a total of 56 switches and 52 track sections to enable the smooth flow of train traffic. To ensure the safety of all trains, an interlocking system is used to establish secure routes for incoming, outgoing, and passing trains. This requires effective traffic management and a dependable train detection system to detect the presence of trains on the tracks.
