Trainspotting

Detecting passing trains with miniature sensing units

In this project, we collected a data set of multiple days at several rail sections in Germany with a set of inertial sensing units. Each sensor node collected continuous raw acceleration data (at 100Hz) while being deployed at the rails. The data set shows that from the resulting vibrations, important information such as train types, speeds, directions, and wagon configurations can be estimated.

The aim of this data set is to evaluate combinations of easy-to-compute features that can be used on a sensor node for on-line classification of these 'train events'.
