Torpedo car tracking system at China Steel Corporation

摘要

Torpedo cars,for the hot metal transportation by rail,play an indispensable role in China Steel Corporation (CSC)’s production.In order to meet the requirements of continual progress in hot metal production and safety management,the torpedo car tracking system suitable for our identification has been built up.This system not only combines the applications of of radio frequency identification(RFID) for accurately locating and radio modems to transmit the torpedo car position data,but also integrates the monitoring of railway switch machines and level crossings as well as the torpedo cars management system.Accordingly all torpedo car positions and operation data of railway equipments can be displayed in the control center for the reference of the effectively monitoring of torpedo cars and the dispatching of missions.
