Continuous real-time monitoring of unpowered railway vehicles such as general freight and
heavy haul wagons is still limited by hardware scalability and power consumption …

Advanced health monitoring of unpowered heavy haul and general freight railway wagons is
still an emerging field, limited by the lack of electrical power on-board the vehicles and the …

Given the constant demand for heavier, longer, faster, and more efficient rail freight vehicles,
onboard fault detection systems appear as a good approach for enhanced railway asset …

The necessity to measure loading on railway vehicle wheels under the conditions of running
has imposed the task to develop a sensor for dynamic measuring. To use such a sensor is of …

We report the development of a network of wireless ultralow-power sensors to be deployed
on freight railway cars, with the main purpose of detecting derailment events and alerting the …

Today, the majority of wagon failures on railroad systems are because of the poor
maintenance of ball bearings, which causes emergent stops and delays. The existing …

Due to the importance of sensors in railway traction drives availability, sensor fault diagnosis
has become a key point in order to move from preventive maintenance to condition-based …

Electrical drive systems are the core of high-speed trains, providing energy transmission
from electric power to traction force. Therefore, their safety and reliability topics are always …

European Union has been active in recent years in promoting the enhancement of railway
transports through research and development programs. The related challenges are even …

Due to the importance of sensors in control strategy and safety, early detection of faults in
