BUKS Derailment Control Device detects derailment, dragging metal parts of rolling stock or cargo fixing elements. It is a means of automatic control of rolling stock technical condition. BUKS increases train traffic safety by sending the warning to related signalling systems to prevent railway infrastructure objects from damage.
BUKS registers train car number and direction of train movement. Data are displayed by BI indicators and is sent to upper-level system.
In case of lower clearance violation, it generates data on derailment, car number and side of derailment. These data are transmitted to upper level systems and displayed by BI indicators. Such status is held for 10-20 s required for reliable detection of lower clearance violation by signalling systems. After 10-20 s BUKS is automatically recovered and is capable to detect clearance violation.
