Current Sensor Block Detectors (Video#38)

In the last video I proposed a classification for track side sensors. We saw that an important criterion is whether the sensor measures a train passing a sensor, which I called “at point” or a sensor detects a train sitting in an area, which I labeled as “in area”. In this video I am going to look into available and potential “in area” sensors.
