ELECTRONIC AXLE COUNTING FOR CHECKING OF TRACK SECTIONS

ELEKTRONISCHE ACHSZAEHLUNG ZUM UEBERWACHEN VON GLEISABSCHNITTEN

Axle counting installations continuously provide informations on the vacancy or occupancy condition of station and line tracks. The counting pulse generated at the ends of a track section, due to passing wheels, are processed in a counting device, which gives the clear indication with safety in the case of equality of axles counted-in and out. Furthermore, with the use of axle indication points, beside the track clear indication, the axle number sum of a train can be utilized for the disposition of railway wagons. Axle indication points indicate whether a train has departed in its whole length and whether axles have been attached or detached.
