1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current system for the rolling stock management is based on the human supervision, including
the following procedures:
• Wagon identification
• Confirmation when a composition is ready to depart
• Maintenance needs, based on the manufacturer prescription
These issues can be improved using sensors avoiding the human error and adding more efficiency.
Also nowadays, the data obtained are only limited to the rail operator without using any cloud
solution, which could reduce the expenses.
The developed system for the WP18 avoids the need of an operator for the identification and
composition of the train, providing all the information and management.
In addition, all these data will be available at the cloud for the logistic companies in order to track the
cargo through an app, which provides location and current state, given from the wireless sensors
installed, in real time.

The "Autonomous Wireless Network for Rail Logistics and Maintenance" demonstrator aims to
evaluate the properly operation of the Logistics and Maintenance (L&M) system developed within
the WP18. The key functionalities of the demonstrator include:
• Collect and report maintenance information from the wireless sensor network:
o Vibration data from the rolling stock
o Impact data from the rolling stock
o Humidity data from the rolling stock
o Pressure data from the rolling stock
o Temperature of the cargo
o Power consumption
o Acceleration
o RSSI
• Collect and report the position of each node:
o Accelerometer data
o GNSS data
o RSSI data
• Collect and report the distance between nodes:
o Distance data
• Secure wireless communications Vehicle-to-everything (V2X)
• Secure wireless communications Infrastructure to Infrastructure (I2I)
• Processing and storage the logistics and maintenance data in the cloud platform.
• Display real-time logistics and maintenance information on a mobile application.

2.1.4.4.2 Rolling Stock
The rolling stock chosen for the demonstrator is shown in the pictures below. It is distinguished
between the traction and the wagons.
The locomotive V160 has been selected for the tests due to the bidirectional capabilities that are
useful for the WP19 demonstrator.
Figure 4: Locomotive V160
Concerning the composition for the demonstrator, there are two different wagons required. One the
one hand, it is necessary a flat wagon (See Figure 5) to install a cage with all the equipment for the
communications.
Figure 5: Flat Wagon
On the other hand, the wireless sensor network for the logistics and maintenance will installed on
two types of wagons: White Hopper (See Figure 6) and Super Self Discharging Train (SSDT) (See
Figure 7)

In addition, the BB23.A has developed wireless sensors nodes that have integrated all the
functionalities in a singles board (communication, processing, power supply, sensing and security).
This kind of sensors collects and report position data as accelerometer, GNSS and RSSI.
