KTS AZS Automatic Rolling Stock Chocking System

KTS AZS Chocking System is designed for automation of precise stopping and train chocking on reception and departure tracks on railway stations.

KTS AZS Chocking System is designed for automation of precise stopping and train chocking on reception and departure tracks on railway stations. It employs stationary heavy-duty braking chocks consisting of two modules – chocking and absorbing modules. The modules are installed on reception and departure tracks – one set for each track, except main tracks and tracks designated for non-stop passing.

A train is chocked by electromechanically driven elements of the braking chock that change their position by an operator's command providing mechanical effect on rolling stocks' wheel pairs. The system prevents accidental movement of chocked rolling stock or its any part.

Application

  1. Reduces time for chocking a train.
  2. Reduces operating costs due to no signalling staff work.
  3. Reduces operating costs due to no locomotive idle time.
  4. Increases work culture and no operating personnel in the hazardous area.

Advantages

  • Does not require presence of signalling personnel and installation of brake shoes.
  • Eliminates unauthorized movement of chocked rolling stock or any of its parts.
  • Local control of braking choke.

Railway Segments

  • Public railways.
  • Industrial Transport.
