Abstract :
A radar sensor as part of the automatic shunting system has been developed for the remote control of track occupancy in the hump yard and railroad switch territories, enhanced by the speed control of rolling stock when it passes by the retarder. The sensors are equipped with systems of remote control. They are provided with systems of internal parameter diagnostics and transmission of the radar and service information to the control point and can work in information networks.
