The article describes the use of fiber-optic interferometer in the rail transport. We proposed a measuring sensor system based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The basic tracked parameter of vehicles are detection (count of vehicles). The proposed system was tested in the real tram traffic. Altogether, 435 vehicles were detected with 100 % success. The basic advantages of the solution include immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and the ability to remotely evaluate information about the traffic.
