Various applications of wheel detection systems with inductive wheel sensors
Modern wheel detection systems are mostly used for track vacancy detection. However, there are many different ways in which wheel detection systems can nowadays be used. Further to their detection function, they can help make use of additional information such as direction of traffic, train speed, wheel diameter, wheel centre pulse or number of axles, as well as modern interfaces, opening up further new fields of application. The following chapters give an overview of their typical fields of application, followed by details of the evaluation capabilities of modern inductive wheel sensors.
