Poles Detector
Poles Detector
Counts and measures poles along the track
The Pole Detector System is designed to count catenary support poles along the railway line and measure their distance from the train.
It operates contactlessly using laser-based time-of-flight (TOF) technology and remains effective even in challenging environments such as tunnels, bridges, or night time conditions.
System Configuration
The system consists of 4 roof-mounted sensor units, with 2 units per side of the vehicle.
Each unit is equipped with a high-frequency laser capable of identifying poles at various distances and diameters — without being affected by light conditions.
Technical Specifications
- Measurement method: Laser distance (Time-of-Flight)
- Range: 0.5 m – 5 m
- Detectable pole diameter: 12 mm – 200 mm
- Vehicle speed: Up to 350 km/h
- Operating temperature: –20°C to +50°C
