IMPROVING RAIL FREIGHT CAR SAFETY THROUGH INNOVATIVE TELEMATICS
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-01
Summary
This project intends to develop a low cost sensor and communication (IIoT) technology to be mounted on the wheel set of rail cars. This technology will monitor the vibration and temperature of the wheel set to proactively manage wheel set failures (e.g. bearing overheating) and track anomalies to avoid derailments and reduce maintenance costs.

Description
This project intends to develop a low cost sensor and communication (IIoT) technology to be mounted on the wheel set of rail cars. This technology will monitor the vibration and temperature of the wheel set to proactively manage wheel set failures (e.g. bearing overheating) and track anomalies to avoid derailments and reduce maintenance costs.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à mettre au point une technologie de capteurs et de communication (IIoT - Internet des objets industriels) à faible coût qui sera montée sur l'essieu des wagons. Cette technologie permettra de surveiller les vibrations et la température de l'essieu pour gérer de manière proactive les défaillances de l'essieu (par exemple, la surchauffe des roulements) et les anomalies de la voie afin d'éviter les déraillements et de réduire les coûts d'entretien.
