Abstract

A device (1) for monitoring railway assets is described. The device (1) is positioned adjacent railway tracks in a rail network. The device (1) includes a radar transmit-receive module and a radar antenna together with an additional number of sensors capable of providing environmental and structural information on the track, the individual rails or the environment immediately adjacent the track. The device (1) further comprises wireless communications means thereby enabling the transfer of data collected from the device (1) to a central processing unit. The wireless communications means may also enable the device (1) to be updated remotely.
