Axle counter

An axle counter is a system used in railway signalling to detect the clear or occupied status of a specified section of track. The system generally consists of a wheel sensor (one for each end of the section) and an evaluation unit for counting the axles of the train both into and out of the section. They are often used to replace a track circuit.
