A widely used technique for locating the position of a train during its journey involves electrical detection: on a section of track, the train closes (“shunts”) a circuit dedicated to its location via its wheels and axles. The quality of...

To manage and ensure the safety of traffic on rail networks, trains need to be reliably located at all times. This is achieved in many countries by electrically detecting their presence using so-called “track circuits” installed at regula...

Ensuring the safety of rail networks requires precise detection of a train’s position on a track section. This is achieved using a “track circuit” system, in which the wheel–rail electrical contact is the key to maintaining th...

The safe management of traffic on rail networks requires that trains can be reliably located at all times. In many countries, this is achieved by electrically identifying their presence using ‘track circuits’ at regular intervals along ea...
