Abstract :
The results of development of low cost radar sensors for remote control of track occupancy and railway cars´ speed over the territory of hump yards under heavy weather conditions are presented. The radar sensor feature is application of autodyne transmitting-receiving module for linear frequency modulation and digital systems for forming sounding signal and spectral processing of received signals. Sensor is equipped with the systems of remote control and transmission of radar and service information to the control point.
