Abstract

In modern rail freight there is a growing need for automation. Smart telematics form an important part of automation. With the increasing trend to include sensors and data communication technologies in freight wagons, there is a need to have a reliable power supply for components of automation. The useful lifespan of the power supply solution needed here is nearly 8 years while keeping in mind the boundary conditions for maintenance time in freight wagons. This paper deals with telematics use cases and applications and describes feasible solutions for an energy supply.
