Safe short- and long-distance transport depends on the safety of many individual components. The different signalling and safety systems, equipment and devices must interoperate smoothly to ensure efficient and trouble-free railway operations. Electronic axle counting systems from Siemens have a major share in smooth railway operations. They provide reliable information on the clear and occupied states of track sections.
The tried-and tested ZP 43 Electronic Wheel Detection Equipment is the trackside equipment of the axle counting systems. It meets the highly demanding requirements of many railway operators regarding safety and economy successfully and convincingly.
detection of all wheels with dimensions conforming to common standards
compatible with all common rail profiles
high mechanical stability
reliable operation even with very short detection times (train speeds up to 350 km/h)
immune to - traction return currents - current step changes in the traction network - electromagnetic disturbances - effects of magnetic rail brakes and eddy-current brakes
error-free operation at ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +80 °C as well as in conditions of ice, snow and extreme humidity
