Train detection system for tram - Transdev Reims
Requirement The realisation of a new public transport concept for the city of Reims in Northern France involved the laying of two tram lines with a total of 23 stations, covering a catchment area with around 70,000 residents and in which around 26,500 jobs are based. The task of equipping the track network and the vehicle fleet supplied by Alstom with highly-efficient train detection technology was awarded to Frauscher Sensor Technology. Solution The implementation of the axle counting system ACS2000 in combination with the wheel sensor RSR180, an evaluation board IMC and the SK420 and SK140 rail claws enabled the highest quality outcome, both in the area supplied using overhead cables and those powered by conductor rails (APS). Benefit Transdev is very satisfied with how „le tra
