Abstract
In order to reach the EU’s objectives with regards to developing rail freight in the future, an evolution of the freight train is required. For that, telematics technologies play a crucial role as an enabler for the intelligent freight train. This paper shows different freight train topologies and communications technologies. Moreover, representative use cases enable the intelligent train that has connectivity capabilities such as condition monitoring for train and cargo. Furthermore, an example of intelligent freight wagon architecture is shown.
