The Ultrasonic Broken Rail Detector detects breaks in train rails.

The operation of the system is based on a simple "transmit-receive" confirmation protocol. An acoustic signal is injected into the rail at one location (the transmitter), propagates along the rail and is received at a remote location (the receiver). The integrity of the rail between the transmitter and receiver is confirmed as long as a signal is being received.

Should the rail develop a break, the inserted signal will not be received resulting in an alarm via a communications system at a monitoring station.
