TrainSpotting
Eugen Berlin and Kristof Van Laerhoven

Description

This data set contains more than 36 hours of continuous raw acceleration data from a sensor node that was deployed at the rails of Deutsche Bahn. Almost 250 trains of different type (such as ICE/IC, regional passenger trains, cargo trains, or locomotives) were rolling by, causing vibration patterns which were recorded by our sensor. The aim of this data set is to evaluate combinations of easy-to-compute features that can be used on a sensor node for on-line classification of these 'train events'.
