A digital train brake testing and train preparation assistant uses a system, method, and computer program for determining a component parameter of a train. The system may include sensor nodes mounted to a respective part of the train, wherein the sensor nodes form a sensor network on a rail car, wherein railcars form a wireless mesh network, and wherein each of the sensor nodes is configured to collect data of the component of the respective part of the train and to publish the collected data into the wireless mesh network. The system may further include a server system configured to receive the published data of the wireless mesh network and to determine the component parameter of the train based on the received data. Furthermore, a user device for displaying a component parameter determined by a system, method, and computer program for determining a component parameter of a train is provided.

Digital train determination assistant

A monitoring and diagnostics system for a rail car that includes multiple sensor units, each comprising sensor devices and a data transfer unit, wherein the set of sensor units includes at least one power harvester, which is configured to convert ambient energy into electrical energy, and one energy storage means, which can be configured to store the electrical energy generated by the power harvester, a sensor hub which includes a communication subsystem and a receiver, wherein the data transfer units are configured, so that the sensor units transfer detected/measured data to the sensor hub and the communication subsystem is configured, so that the sensor hub transfers the data to the receiver, either with cable or wirelessly.
