REVIEW WHEEL DETECTION FORUM 2013
Nearly 150 guests from 29 nations took the opportunity at the second Wheel Detection Forum to gain information on
current developments and trends and to communicate with experts.
16 top-class speakers from international operators, system integrators, manufacturers, consultants, research institutions
and academies provided current and substantiated know-how concerning “Visions and Trends in Track Vacancy Detection”.
Interesting new developments, alternative technologies and latest findings on much debated issues were presented and
discussed.
Examples of Best Practice presented from countries like Brazil, China, India, CIS, South Africa, and from the metro,
main line and industrial line segments, demonstrated additional functions which support the development of axle
counting systems.

STATEMENTS
Antonio Casazza,
Ansaldo STS, Italy
“I could make a number of new contacts,
good relationships and could meet some
interesting people. The presentations showed
a high level of quality and I really can recommend this forum to all signalling engineers.
The whole event was perfectly organized and I congratulate
Frauscher for this very successful forum.”
Annika Granlund
Bombardier Transportation, Sweden
“… customers, partners and competitors, to
share experience and explore new technologies for track vacancy detection in order to
increase the competence and competitiveness of the railway business. In addition, a
good organisation, interesting study visits to ÖBB and the new
main railway station and tasty Austrian food, contributed to the
success of the event.”
Motoko Honma
The Nippon Signal, Japan
“I was impressed by the vast range of
topics discussed in the wheel detection forum;
This gave me a good insight of different participating companies’ business area, research
outcomes of new technology, cooperation
with each other. The technical tour also was very useful. I felt
every programme was very well managed.”
Prof. S.L. Ho
Hong Kong Polytechnic University
“This is an excellent forum for users and
suppliers of railway systems to meet and
exchange information. I am surprised to see
all the participants are making full use of
this forum to discuss in a no nonsense and
professional manner. It sets the trends and vision of the future
railway development which is very important in the modern era
when a lot of high speed trains are being built in different parts of
the world.”

FORUM
2015
ABOUT THE EVENT
The requirements for reliable and efficient railway operation are becoming more and more multifaceted and complex. Optimum integration of Axle Counters and Wheel Detection Systems in interlocking technology and client-specific configuration
of various applications therefore play a central role.
The third Wheel Detection Forum with more than 17 external speakers, particularly from the field of research and development. These experts will offer valuable insights into highly topical knowledge. This should result in a viable platform as a
basis for operators to enter into dialogue and exchange their experiences with system integrators, manufacturers, consultants and research workers as well as representatives from academies and professional associations.
The continuous aim of the Wheel Detection Forum is to develop the integration of key stakeholders within the railway industry, and together, lift the evolution of Train Detection to the next level.

TECHNICAL SITE VISITS
FRIDAY, 02 OCTOBER 2015
09:00 - 12:00
A. Technical Visit of the Vienna Climate Wind Tunnel
RTA (Rail Tec Arsenal) is an internationally active independent research and testing institute for rail and road vehicles, new transport systems and technical facilities that are subject to extreme climatic conditions. As a worldwide recognised expert in climatic
testing, RTA operates two modern climatic wind tunnels designed to optimise thermal comfort in public transport vehicles and to
investigate and improve the availability and safety of systems in sensitive industrial areas.
B. Visit of the Remise Transport Museum with an old-timer tram
An exclusively booked old tram will take you around an Austrian World Heritage Site: the Vienna Ring. This majestic boulevard
was laid out in the mid-19th century around the centre of the city, replacing the old city wall. Ornate buildings such as the state
opera, parliament buildings, city hall, Burgtheater, stock exchange and numerous palaces were erected along the resulting
boulevard. Following that tram tour, you can experience the history of transport in Vienna from the Habsburgs to the modern
days in the Remise Transport Museum. Historical vehicles and interactive stories await you here.
C. Visit of the new Main Train Station including Vienna Sightseeing Tour
Shorter travel times, more international connections, more comfortable transfer from one train to the next on the same platform,
a shopping centre with shops for any kind of taste and an appealing architecture: the new Vienna Main Train Station has a
significant impact on the mobility of anybody living in or traveling through Austria. An experienced guide will show you the highlights of the new Main Train Station. Additionally, you will get an impression of some historical sites in Vienna on the way to and
from the station by bus.
You can choose one of the technical site visits. Please note that there is only a limited number of places available.
So make sure to register in time.
