Intelligent freight trains ready this year
As part of the "GVD-IoT" project, A1 Digital is equipping the approximately 500 freight cars and infrastructure vehicles of the Swiss Rhätische Bahn (RhB) with energy-autonomous telematics devices. Their sensors provide detailed information about the position, condition, temperature and movement of each wagon during the transport.
The devices were successfully tested in summer 2020. By the end of 2021, all wagons will be refurbished. The telematics device already in use at Rail Cargo Group was adapted for RhB and serves as a platform for additional sensors. (ben)
