Railway Technology: How rail sensors can indicate track occupancy

Have you ever wondered what kind of railway technology is responsible for the smooth running of trains? In this video we will take a look at the amazing technology behind railway signaling which indicates when a particular section of track is occupied. For fail-safe track vacancy detection and clear/occupied notifications, most railway companies use axle counters. The reason is that system provides higher availability and lowers life cycle costs when compared to existing track circuits.

In the EU alone, national transport registered 4.8 billion passengers in the year 2020 with this number only being set to increase. With such a huge volume of rail traffic being operational at any given point, it is extremely important that the technology which ensures smooth rail operation is extremely reliable, dependable and highly available.
