ELECTRONIC INTERLOCKING SOLUTIONS – VHLC

The GETGS electronic interlocking system (VHLC) is a multi-purpose solid state device for the control of a railway interlocking plant. The VHLC provides control of switch machines, lighting of signal lamps, interface to track circuit and track relays for the plant tracks.

Together with the level crossing processor (HXP-3), and the modular control system (MCS), full signalling systems for branch lines can be implemented. An example of such is the Norwich–Cromer re-signalling project in UK.

MODULAR CONTROL SYSTEM (MCS)

The MCS is a flexible signalling control system that can be configured to interface to different types of interlocking - from relay-based to the latest electronic versions. MCS is in use on a number of railways where it provides a means of non-vital central traffic control of the safety signalling system.

SLEEPER POINT MACHINE – CTS2

CTS2 is a new generation of switch point machine with a wide range of applications and performance. Placed inside a special sleeper between the rails, CTS2 can replace all existing switch-point machines. The flexible design allows different models with adjustable trailing stroke, overlap and locking, trailing force, pulling force and contact force.

HOT BOX / HOT WHEEL DETECTION – FUS, CYBERSCAN / TRIM II

As world leader in hot box and hot wheel detection technology, GETS offers a full range of HBD / HWD products from branch line application to high speed lines. Various office systems, such as Remote Announcement Display (RAD), are available to monitor train, alarm and disturbance data.

LEVEL CROSSING AREA DETECTOR PAI-PL

PAI-PL detects obstacles within the level crossing area. This microwave-based product is insensitive to weather conditions and allows for the automation and remote control of CCTV level crossings.

DISTRIBUTED TRACTION CONTROL – LOCOTROL™

Multiple tractions for freight trains can improve the productivity of railroads tremendously. Locotrol is a radio-based multiple traction system with more than 4,000 units fitted worldwide. In Europe Locotrol is used and approved by SBB and DB.
