Track monitoring smartphone app
Many railroads worldwide use measuring trains to regularly inspect tracks. Continuous monitoring of all tracks, for example in the form of a daily measurement run, is of course not possible with these trains. This stands in contrast with devices such as smartphones with their integrated sensors, which can be used as a cost-effective and portable solution for track monitoring. The associated possibilities were successfully demonstrated in a practical implementation at SBB.
