Measuring train speed accurately in a train load out system is crucial for wagon loading weight control and automation. Traditional train speed cameras are not sufficiently accurate with accuracy often compromised by sensitivity to environmental factors such as light and dust. Calculating train speed from track switches is noisy, requiring use of a heavy filter compromising accuracy which is lost during changes of speed.


The iTLO 4003 Doppler Radar provides excellent accuracy and is designed to be robust in any industrial environment. It is designed for slow moving wagons in a train load out system or any applications requiring high resolution slow to medium range speed measurement or motion sensing, using specialised signal processing for accurate and reliable motion speed detection.
Field Proven
The iTLO4003 Doppler Radar has been tested successfully in mine sites of high profile mining companies.
Low Cost
Compared to widely utilised traditional speed cameras, the iTLO4003 radar is only a fraction of the cost.
High update speed and resolution
Measurement update every 75 ms with 3 decimal points of accuracy resolution.
