Proximity Sensor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:37, 7 March 2025

Proximity sensor and proximity hub are gadgets that work in unison to help prevent collisions, by alerting of proximity of obstacles in the way of a train . Their purpose is primarily to make shunting easier and improve safety.

The proximity hub gadget is an interface device designed to be installed in a cab of a motorized vehicle . It features a display and a beeper that indicate proximity of obstacles to a sensor. There can be many sensors in the world, but the hub will only focus on one at a time. To one it focuses on is determined by a mode selection knob, featuring two settings - automatic and explicit.

Automatic mode will focus on one of the two outermost sensors in the train, depending on the vehicle's reverser setting. Explicit mode will focus on all sensors with the selected frequency channel.

The proximity sensor gadget is a device designed to be placed on a coupler , at either end of a train. It features a range setting, determining how far ahead an obstacle is to be detected, as well as a frequency channel setting.

Proximity hub gadget requires electrical connections to function.

These gadgets can be purchased in one of the shops .
