Which mobile solutions are of interest to railway companies?

Imagine a fleet of trains in freight rail transport consisting of different models and years of construction, is to be made capable of fulfilling the following tasks:

• Europe-wide transfer of location information,
• Connection of different onboard diagnosis systems (e.g. engine, gears, compressor, ...), which different maintenance engineers may have (temporary) remote access to,
• Transfer of cyclical load data from the train to its own diagnosis and maintenance system and/or maintenance engineers and/or manufacturers
• Electronic reception and feedback of driving jobs by the train driver
• Print out in the train of rail car list and braking document, generated from a centralised system,
• Electronic recording and control of marshalling by the shunter
• Printing of braking documents
• Enquiry of current track occupancy by the shunter/train driver
• Reading of error memory before entering the workshop
• Future transfer of signals from different sensors on the train
• Improved planning of trailer load by coupling hook measurement
• Limitation of current fuel consumption depending on load and route profile
