Brake sensor
The brake sensor (end-of-train sensor) is used to continuously monitor that the vehicle’s braking system is correctly pressurized and free from leaks.
A stable and reliable braking function is crucial for safe and efficient train operations. RMD’s brake sensor continuously monitors the braking system air pressure in real-time and provides immediate warnings in case of discrepancies. By detecting pressure drops or abnormal pressure changes, the sensor helps prevent brake issues and minimizes the risk of operational disruptions or safety incidents.
The sensor is mounted on the air coupling at the last component of the braking system chain. Through a separate control unit, the sensor sends data directly to the driver via MyTrainApp, where it appears in the regular overview of the train’s sensor system. In case of critical faults, the driver is alerted and can take immediate action.
With real-time monitoring of brake pressure, both safety and operational efficiency are improved, while
the risk of unexpected downtime and costly repairs is reduced.

Pantograph Sensor
The pantograph sensor monitors trends and deviations and sends data to be processed by RMD's machine learning algorithms. It registers any potential faults or errors of the pantograph itself - as well as any potential damage to both the carbon rail and the copper line.
Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensitive bolts in our system solution work in conjunction with PMU sensors. The bolts send their information to nearby PMUs, which act as communication hubs between the smart bolts and RMDs system plattform.
Kingpin Lock Sensor
The Kingpin Lock sensor constantly monitors the kingpin lock to ensure that it is properly engaged at all times. The kingpin lock is a crucial component that prevents cargo trailers from separating during transit.
