    Abstract

    The axle counter which detects the position of the train is important railway signal device. This paper deals with a multi-objective optimization of the axle counter by 3D magnetic field analysis. In the optimization, we newly propose the introduction of the conductor plate and carry out its design optimization. It is revealed that the shape optimization of conductor plate enables us to well improve the detection performance of the axle counter from the multi-objective point of view.
