Single Section Axle Counter

Reliable Track Monitoring with Advanced Axle Counter Technology

The Single Section Axle Counter (SSDAC) provides reliable wheel counting with fail-safe occupancy detection, overcoming track circuit limitations in challenging conditions such as waterlogging, flooding, metal bridges, and areas with poor wheel shunt lines. It ensures accurate train detection even in high EMI/EMC environments, extreme temperatures, and complex station or yard layouts.

The Single Section Axle Counter (SSDAC) ensures precise and fail-safe train detection, addressing track circuit challenges in adverse conditions like flooding, waterlogging, and metal bridges. It performs reliably in high EMI/EMC environments, extreme weather, and complex or large yard layouts, providing dependable occupancy detection and enhancing rail network safety.
