  They can be seamlessly integrated with an existing system to increase availability – as an
                           overlay or to replace individual faulty circuits. AC can work in tandem with a TC system,
                           allowing for problem areas to be successfully addressed without disrupting operations.
                           This makes
                         The installation can be done with a low amount of work at the track, since Axle Counters
                           do not require alteration or drilling of rails.

                    The potential of Axle Counters for railways in Thailand
                    The Thai railways are looking forward to the further development of their infrastructure and rolling
                    stock in coming years. Axle counting technology like the Frauscher FAdC can play an important
                    role in the modernization of the network. This is especially true when
                     it comes to the possibilities of the digital railway: With the increasing digitalisation of the railway
                    industry, systems with extended functions are gaining ground also in signalling technology and
                    related areas. Systems used for train detection should therefore be able to generate additional
                    data, far beyond the presence of a train and track vacancy detection. The prerequisites are the
                    corresponding interfaces and existing transmission networks.


                    Axle counters can provide a broad range of            Speed
                    information for various applications using cleverly     Direction of travel
                    designed inductive wheel sensors. The compact          Wheel centre impulse
                    design also enables the mounting of Frauscher          Wheel diameter
                    Wheel Sensors, in which two sensor coils are           Diagnostic data
                    installed along the track.

                                                                            messages  due  to its smart
                                                                            continue self-diagnostics
                                                                          Temperature
                                                                           Vibrations


                    At the same time, AC presents already today a solution for specific challenges of south-asian
                    railways like the trolley non-detection. This was developed by Frauscher India in 2013 to make
                    the use of inspections trolleys easier on the lines.

                    Important possible areas of use for Axle Counters in Thailand are:
                    Level Crossings
                           Frauscher solutions (integrated in partnership with S.C.P. Electric Co., Ltd.) have already
                           proven themselves for train detection at level crossings in Thailand.
