INFRABELBaliseLifeCheck

Infrabel faced an issue with a balise located at the exit of their warehouse. Every time a train was leaving the warehouse, the On Board Unit couldn’t read correctly the balise group and triggered an emergency brake action.

They analyzed the defective balises with their portable balise reader but they didn’t actually detect any apparent issue, as the portable balise reader concluded both balises were 100% ok.

The client now has data about the defective balise, as

BaliseLifeCheck enables them to perform a very detailed and

accuratte diagnosis of the problem".

Results

On its first try, the BLC helped them discover that one of the balises of the group was sending out the correct telegram but had electromagnetic parameters’ issues that could affect the

correct telegram decoding by a train On Board Unit.

The balise electromagnetic parameters are out of the specifications requested by subset 36 (red lines). For

Eurobalise specialists, the parameter out of bounds was about central frequency: its value was between 4.44 and 4.42 MHz,

whereas it should be between 4.06 MHz and 4.41 MHz.
