The Wagon4.0 concept, as developed in close cooperation with e.g. port or mine operations, offers a maximum in railway operational efficiency while providing strong business cases already in the respective plant interaction. The Wagon4.0 consists of main components, a power supply, data network, sensors, actuators and an operating system, the so called WagonOS. The Wagon OS is implemented in a granular, self-sufficient manner, to allow basic features such as WiFi-Mesh and train christening in remote areas without network connection. Furthermore, the granularity of the operating system allows to extend the familiar app concept to freight rail rolling stock, making it possible to use specialised actuators for certain applications, e.g. an electrical parking brake or an auxiliary drive. In order to facilitate migration to the Wagon4.0 for existing fleets, a migration concept featuring five levels of technical adaptation was developed. The present paper investigates the benefits of Wagon4.0-implementations for the particular challenges of heavy haul operations by focusing on train christening, ep-assisted braking, autonomous last mile and traction boost operation as well as improved maintenance schedules Y1 - 2019 N1 - International Heavy Haul Association STS Conference, 10th to 14th June 2019, Narvik, Norway ER - TY - CHAP A1 - Seiler, Friedrich A1 - Pichler, Alexander A1 - Pfaff, Raphael A1 - George, Alfred A1 - Srulijes, Julio T1 - Improved Doppler picture velocimetry and new automated processing T2 - 14th International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics : Lisbon, Portugal, 7 - 10 July 2008 Y1 - 2008 SP - 1 EP - 12 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Seiler, Friedrich A1 - Pichler, Alexander A1 - Pfaff, Raphael A1 - Srulijes, Julio T1 - Novel processing tools for automated doppler picture velocimetry (DPV) evaluation JF - Journal of visualization Y1 - 2009 SN - 1343-8875 VL - Vol. 12 IS - Iss. 4 SP - 323 EP - 337 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Franzen, Julius A1 - Pinders, Erik A1 - Pfaff, Raphael A1 - Enning, Manfred T1 - RailCrowd’s virtual fleets: Make most of your asset data JF - Deine Bahn N2 - For smaller railway operators or those with a diverse fleet, it can be difficult to collect sufficient data to improve maintenance programs. At the same time, new rules such as entity in charge of maintenance – ECM – regulations impose an additional workload by requiring a dedicated maintenance management system and specific reports. The RailCrowd platform sets out to facilitate compliance with ECM and similar regulations while at the same time pooling anonymised fleet data across operators to form virtual fleets, providing greater data insights.
