The main feature of the smart sensor systems is their ability to evaluate the recorded data and to extract predefined feature vectors. In this way, the systems can make decisions and make predictions independently.

Digital twins of trains, track systems or buildings hold huge potential for rail transport: With their help, it is possible, among other things, to generate physically correct live simulations of the rail system. In this way, for. B. the optimal timetable or the ideal diversion route can be calculated in the event of incidents. In addition, the effects of changed routes can be simulated using digital twins. In this way, the planners can identify any impairments to residents in advance and adjust the route accordingly.
