Abstract

See full text

An axle-counting method for railbound vehicles includes the following method steps: coupling light into at least one sensor fiber, wherein the sensor fiber includes at least one fiber Bragg grating mounted on a rail, wherein each fiber Bragg grating has a reflection spectrum having a reflection peak which is at a Bragg wavelength and has a full width at half maximum; generating a difference signal from two shear stress signals through detection and filtering the temporal intensity course of the light power reflected by two Fiber Bragg gratings which are arranged at a separation from one another; and generating a wheel signal if the difference signal exceeds a predetermined shear stress difference limiting value.
