Claim 23:
24. A method for monitoring a wagon of a train on a track or below rail infrastructure, said method including the steps of:
providing a control unit and a wagon master module and a sensor module, wherein the sensor module comprises a transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly with the wagon master module and one or more sensor modules communicating with the wagon master module, the sensor modules comprising a processor and one or a plurality of sensors;
measuring by the one or plurality of sensors one or more sensor data values indicative of a condition of a portion of the track infrastructure and/or the wagon;
inputting the sensor data values to the processor;
determining by the processor whether the measured sensor data values from the sensors is within a threshold range thereof; and
generating and sending an alert signal to the wagon master module if the processor determines that the measured sensor data values are outside the threshold range and further including the step of receiving and/or processing one or more external signals from a below rail detection device.
