Adtranz: a mobile computing system for maintenance and collaboration

The paper describes the mobile information and communication aspects of a next generation train maintenance and diagnosis system, discusses the working prototype features, and research results. Wearable/Mobile computers combined with the wireless technology improve efficiency and accuracy of the maintenance work. This technology enables maintenance personnel at the site to communicate with a remote helpdesk/expertise center through digital data, audio, and image.
