There are many level crossing systems that use spot double-channel wheel detection for switching on/off the level crossing, usually combined with a short audio frequency track circuit, loop or axle counting section for detection of a train stopping on the road area. Today, there are even better ways to activate/deactivate the level crossing, for example using two or three axle counter sections (per single line) that cover both approach (from both sides) and road area. However, in both eastern and western Europe there are still many older level crossing systems that use spot wheel detection (without counting axles) for switching on/off the level crossing and most of these level crossings will be in operation for another 10 or 20 years, or even more. Lots of different wheel detection devices are used on such level crossings: from mechanical treadles and magnetic detectors with reed-relay to electronic inductive wheel sensors such those used in modern axle counting systems. The wheel detection system UTR/ITR based on the inductive double wheel sensor ZK24-2 is a new solution either for replacement of mechanical trea-dles and magnetic detectors, or for implementation in new level crossing systems.
