Railpower box evo

The railpower box is the digital interface for your energy data collection and billing. Your benefit: evaluate energy and position data simple, quick and reliable. For your individual requirements the railpower box is available in different versions. The new generation "evo" will be available from 2027.

The energy metering system for the railway of the future

According to Regulation EU 1302/2014, every newly authorised vehicle must be equipped with a vehicle-mounted energy measurement system. The railpower box records data precisely and in compliance with EN 50463 and provides this information for international data exchange. Energy consumption and regeneration data, including active and reactive energy, as well as position data via GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), are collected and processed. According to Regulation EU 1302/2014, every newly authorised vehicle must be equipped with a vehicle-mounted energy measurement system. Energy Measurement System for Railway Vehicles

Service details

  • ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG offers the railpower box evo for rent as a full-service model. The monthly measurement fee includes the provision of the hardware including SIM card, data transmission and data management. The service includes data storage on a server of ÖBB INFRA (DCS), data validation, data provision for the customer via a web application and the exchange of billing-relevant data (CEBD) with the respective infrastructure network operators.

Even more modern and efficient

  • 5G Modem

    With its state-of-the-art 5G mobile modem, the railpower box evo is future-proof. To ensure maximum network coverage, the modem also operates on the 2G and 4G network standards.

  • Multiband GNSS Receiver

    For highly precise positioning, the railpower box evo uses multiple GNSS systems. To ensure optimal signal availability, it operates on multiple frequency bands of the GNSS systems: GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, Glonass, QZSS, and NavIC. In addition, the receiver supports the processing of RTK signals.

  • Powerful Processor & Large Storage Capacity

    Equipped with a powerful processor that significantly exceeds the requirements of a standard energy metering system, additional computing power is available for future demands.
    The generously sized, redundantly designed memory offers sufficient reserves, even with a guaranteed data retention period of 365 days for billing-relevant data (CEBD).

  • Compatible

    The railpower box evo can be seamlessly integrated into the existing mounting points of the railpower box mini 2.0 and railpower box Standard. The existing electrical interfaces remain unchanged.

  • Acceleration Sensor

    The railpower box evo features an integrated acceleration sensor to measure the G-forces on the vehicle. This forms the basis for a wide range of new functions, such as the detection of shunting impacts.
