Application for the project was submitted by the consortium composed of:

The scientific and technical goal of the project is to develop a demonstration installation and validate technologies leading to an innovative own product in the form of an intelligent monitoring system for railway wagons.

The business goal is to achieve the efficiency and effectiveness of the IMW product, enabling the provision of a package of monitoring services, including:

  • intelligent monitoring data analysis enabling risk assessment and service cost forecasting, using real-time data on the technical condition of the wagons and related geolocation data,
  • detecting freight car defects (i.e. flat wheel surfaces) through vibration diagnostics and a sensor network (i.e. bearing temperature sensors),
  • forecasting failures and faults and conducting preventive actions (the so-called predictive maintenance).
