IoT Railroad Telemetry needs an engineer! It's a familiar feeling: you're at the station, ready to go and hope that your train will be on time. Then comes the announcement you've been dreading: "We're sorry to annouce that train will be delayed by five minutes." The five minutes become an hour and now you're sitting on a bench, with an empty coffee cup next to you, seething because you've missed an important appointment. If you'd only known sooner how long it would really take, you could have made alternative plans... Exactly – that's the challenge.
Presenting the challenge
Develop an early-warning system for railroad traffic based on the Cloud of Things. In this challenge, you're the train engineer who controls monitoring of the railroad lines. An exciting challenge is waiting for you: bring railroads into the next age.
What should the warning system be able to do?
- Receive data from IoT sensors on the switch track
- Display the current status in a dashboard
- Raise an alarm in case of irregularities
- Analytics
- … and more
