Enhance your CarMotion layout with in-vehicle sound effects. The retrofittable sound modules are vehicle-specific, ensuring they are mechanically, visually, and acoustically tailored to each model. These modules reproduce engine sounds for starting and stopping, as well as various driving-related sounds, such as gear changes, brake squeals, and depending on the vehicle type, even reverse warning signals. The horn, and if equipped, a siren, can also be activated. The engine sound volume is adjustable. The selectable and adjustable sounds can be controlled via remote control, DCC command, infrared command, or magnetic sequence. The circuit board of the sound module is easily connected to the vehicle‘s circuit board using a four-pin connector and secured with screws. The previous left-side components, such as the exhaust and air tanks, are replaced with the new components that house the speaker. Please note that vehicles without the four-pin expansion socket cannot be equipped with a sound module.Output power 250 mW, efficiency 81 dBA, frequency range approx. 800 – 10 kHz.Suitable vehicles: 8040, 8160.L 2.5 x W 1.2 x H 1.1 mm

The IR Scanner is a locally deployed sensor unit designed to detect vehicle-specific information at defined points along the route. While vehicles are in motion, it captures relevant data in real time and makes this information immediately available to the traffic infrastructure. This enables situation-dependent control of routes, access points, and special zones – precise, automated, and efficient. Continuous data acquisition allows traffic flows to be differentiated in a targeted manner. For example, short vehicles can be preferentially guided into inner-city areas, while long vehicles or vehicle-trailer combinations are automatically routed along alternative paths. Access can also be selectively granted to specific vehicle types, such as allowing buses to enter designated stop areas while other traffic is diverted. Vehicles with a low battery charge can be directed to inductive charging zones, while vehicles with sufficient remaining charge continue without impacting traffic flow. The result is more efficient use of infrastructure while simultaneously relieving sensitive traffic areas.
