Train Monitoring with Combined Intelligent Checkpoints

Intelligent and Integrated Checkpoint

Ef4cient usage of Hardware and Software, based on integration concept
Con4rmed alarming considering various sensors

Summary

Modern Wayside Train Monitoring Systems are challenged by the customer demand
on having more than a sample of different detection systems along the track, each
measuring and reporting the trains individually. It is not to be considered an
improvement, if these systems are just installed next to each other, all with their
dedicated hardware.

The need is transferring from system reports towards train reports. Therefore it is
essential that measuring systems are ef4ciently integrated, minimizing the required
amount of installed hardware and reducing the complexity of the installed software.

The ef4cient and combined usage of soft- and hardware is not only important related
the investment pricing, but even more essential related to reduced and attractive
 LCC. Concluding would an integrated intelligent checkpoint, be an ef4cient approach
for train monitoring. While it has to be considered that Wayside Train Monitoring
itself is not a justi4cation to install a checkpoint, just based on lower investment and
improved LCC.

One of the advantages of such intelligent checkpoint is that different measurement

results can be considered, during alarm evaluation. This opens the possibility to new
and even more reliable alarming. Therefore would it be possible to further reduce the
not con4rmed stop rate, based on the introduction of con4rmed alarms.

One additional bene4t would be that train data, could be used to support the planning
and recommendation on pro-active and preventive maintenance. This could be done
using statistical methods on identi4ed units. Intelligent and integrated checkpoint are
supporting the ef4cient usage of big data and this would reduce the alarming and
stopping further. Integrated and Intelligent Checkpoint can signi4cantly contribute to
less stopped trains and support ef4cient vehicle management.
