Profit from increased route utilisation! Cold-Movement-Detection

Equipped for the future of rail traffic

Why not exploit the advantages of the ETCS for optimised route utilisation? It is critical for you to know whether a vehicle was moved during the shut-down phase. Our axle encoder with integrated Cold Movement Detection function acquires movements of the wheel axle in the de-energised state and supplies assured position information immediately after the login. If no movement was detected, the train can return to route operation immediately with a valid position. This significantly accelerates your operational procedures.

Your advantages:

  • Time saving: no more need to travel slowly until the Radio Block Center has reliably detected the position
  • Retrofittable: easy to integrate into existing structures
  • Reliable operation: long-lasting system, tried and tested in rough environments
  • Low Life-Cycle-Costs: Batteryless system

Our forward-looking sensor solution is suitable for all rail vehicles which are to be equipped with an on-board "European Train Control System (ETCS)" including Cold Movement Detection (CMD) according to Baseline 3. Why not let us advise you on how to make the optimum use of the Cold Movement Detector in your application?

“The sensor from Lenord+Bauer enables our ETCS on-board system to offer SIL 4-level position monitoring that allows our customers to start up quickly with an assured position. That saves both time and energy.”
