Field equipment along the tracks ensure the safe movement of trains as well as staff and public protection.

Ensuring train movement safety and staff and public protection
Field equipment along the tracks ensure the safe movement of trains by means of visual indications, train detection devices for automatic track occupancy monitoring, and point machines for safely securing the routes.
Level Crossing systems  can be effectively deployed to protect the public from trains at any speed.

Improving vital train presence detection
FieldTrac axle counters provide vital train presence detection for a variety of applications. Special information handling techniques, performed by a remotely located vital interrogation unit, ensure that the wheel detection function is executed in the proper manner.

Reducing costs
Axle counter solutions provide a cost effective alternative to track circuits. Fault tolerant designs can ensure service disruptions and the costly work around are minimized.
LED Signals can significantly reduce the life cycle cost of your signals.
Electro-Hydraulic Switch machines can be integrated into the sleeper to reduce maintenance and installation costs.
