Get your sidings ready for traffic growth with axle counting for track occupancy
Many say there is no money to be made in rail infrastructure. For most infrastructure managers, costs exceed revenues. Raising the necessary funds from owners or public grantors is a constant and often frustrating struggle.
Nevertheless, as a railroad operations manager and managing director, Dirk Munder knows these hardships from his own experience because he has been with works railroads, service facilities and railroad infrastructure companies for more than 20 years. In his railroad engineering office Munder, assistance with these issues is daily practice.
As a result, railroad engineer Dirk Munder has developed the “Munder Railtec” axle counting product so that infrastructure managers can earn more money with their existing track capacity and participate in the politically desired traffic growth on the railways. Together with the clever technology of the Munder Railtec modules at the recording points, which has been in use at various railroads for many years, you get a uniquely innovative product.
With its web portal, Munder Railtec solves requirements from Article 6 of the Regulation (EU) 2017/2177 on access to service facilities and rail-related services.

Perfect technologies for vehicle recognition
Munder Railtec-Modul for axle counting
The rail module with a proven wheel sensor operates completely autonomously. Solar cells supply the technology with power, which is stored in a battery. The built-in telemetry unit transmits the axle count to the central server. The Munder Railtec module does wheel detection anywhere in the track network and can be relocated at any time if vehicle detection requirements change.
Hand switch monitoring
Run up manual switches are a constant nuisance for every infrastructure manager. As long as there is no derailment, the damage to the switches and locking devices remains undetected. Combine the Munder Railtec module with our end position detector and you will immediately receive a message if the turnout is not in its end position or has been run up. For the statistics, the number of switching operations and the load per direction are also included.
