Although a few people know of its importance, the train axis is essential for the control of operations that take place within a railroad line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to ensure functioning of the wheels, the axles are constantly counted during transport, which gives companies the possibility to build systems that recognize the positions of the various cars which operate on the railroad, organizing all stages, from stops to maintenance and loading, up to the location of the wagons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we will look at the main detectors that count the train axle. But, first, it is worth explaining what an axis is and its use in the rail transport sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a train axle?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The train axle, like other land vehicles, has a common function: to distribute the loads that acts against the surface of the tracks and allow displacement, since it is on them that the wheels are attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this well-known use, the axles have gained more importance with the rail transport system, directly impacting the safety and efficiency of this mode<\/a> of transport, which constantly faces logistical challenges.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is through the technology of axle detectors that railroad companies are able to define the position, measure the speed, temperature in some cases and detect imperfections in the wheel set. With this information collected by software, a monitoring and control system is generated, allowing the control of operations with greater efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several models of train axle detectors, each with a different function, but which allow applications through traffic supervision and control systems. While traffic control is linked to the management of the railroad in general, encompassing all cars on the railroad line, the supervision system is an innovative tool, as it allows the driver to control some operations, without the need for supervision .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before, these conductors depended on support from traffic controllers, via voice command or field signaling, which could result in late actions, communication failures and increased human error, factors that were mitigated when the use a control panel with accurate information available to the driver in the control cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the technologies possible thanks to train axle counting are: the ATS, which constantly checks the train's actions, interfering with the brakes if necessary; the ATP, a branch of the previous one, which constantly checks the speed, performing punctual interferences for curves and red signals; the ATO, which intensifies control with starts, stops, marches and even doors; and, finally, the ATC, which is the pinnacle of control and information power over rail transport, combining characteristics of the ATP with the ATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acronyms that represent each technology are easier to understand, given the English nomenclature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
