underneath the trolley does the job. The sensor contains a small magnet surrounded by a coil. As the sensor moves over each edge of the steel sleeper‚ the field around the magnet suddenly changes‚ and this induces a sudden voltage across the coil. It generates two pulses every time it passes over one steel sleeper‚ one positive and one negative. Since all the sleepers are equi-spaced‚ a measurement of the time interval between successive pulses allows instantaneous velocities to be calculated. The pulses
