Lab to Market Innovations Private Limited, in collaboration with IISc, has developed an innovative railway safety device known as the Axle Counter Plus (ACPS). This system is an advanced version of traditional axle counters, which are used to detect and count train axles to determine if a track section is occupied.
The Axle Counter Plus uses Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology, offering superior accuracy, durability, and resistance to electromagnetic interference, which can affect conventional systems. In addition to counting axles, it provides data such as train speed, wagon weight, and rolling stock type. It even operates reliably under challenging conditions, including water immersion, making it ideal for modern rail networks.
Accurate axle counting ensures reliable detection of all train wheels.
Unaffected by electromagnetic interference, delivering stable performance.
Robust design ensures long life with minimal maintenance needs.
Effectively monitors multiple track sections for comprehensive tracking.
Maintains accuracy despite temperature and humidity variations.
Performs efficiently even with high-speed trains and fast movement.
Lightweight and space-efficient, simplifying the installation process.
Provides live tracking of train movement and track section status.
Identifies rail faults early, enhancing safety and system reliability.
Precise axle detection enhances train tracking and monitoring efficiency.
Immune to electromagnetic interference for consistent and reliable operation.
Robust design ensures longevity and reduces the need for frequent servicing.
Monitors multiple sections of track simultaneously for broad detection range.
Operates accurately in a wide range of climates and temperature conditions.
Engineered to support high-speed rail systems without compromising accuracy.
Lightweight and easy to install, reducing installation time and labor costs.
Provides live data for improved train control and overall system efficiency.
