UofG spinout aims to transform realtime wireless sensing of train carriages
Published: 17 April 2025
The new sensors receive power wirelessly from radio waves, directly providing energy to small electronics which collect data including temperature and vibration, which is then sent to the user via a Bluetooth interface. The sensors are designed to be retro-fitted to existing rolling stock carriages, and could significantly reduce the cost and environmental footprint of wiring in modern trains.
