Sensor technology in the railroad sector: potentials and obstacles
Magazine article, 2009

Sensor technology can generate information automatically and in real time, and if utilized appropriately, this could help organizations approach a more proactive role in their ways of working. We report from an analysis of how the Swedish railroad administration has employed sensor technology and we identify and discuss the potentials that this technology holds as well as the obstacles that threaten to hinder the adoption of the same. We find that there are both technological and organizational challenges to overcome.
