Monitoring System for Bulk Cargo Loading in Wagons
07.09.2023
DB Cargo equips 100 EAOS model semi-wagons with onboard systems from the Austrian company PJM.
These systems allow monitoring the loading of bulk cargo.
WaggonTracker, a system that measures the cargo weight, checks compliance with standards and uniformity of loading, provides real-time information through a web portal, and even eliminates the need for wagon weighing, as reported by the railway portal Railway Supply.
Optionally, data about the load on individual wheels, wheelsets, and bogies can be obtained.

There is also the possibility of installing warning lights on wagons to alert personnel about exceeding permissible loading parameters.
