Patent No. EP4011745 (titled "Digital Train Determination Assistant") was filed by EMS on Dec 11, 2020. The application was issued on Dec 10, 2025.
A system for determining a train component parameter comprises a plurality of sensor nodes mounted to respective train parts, forming a wireless mesh network. Each node collects component data and publishes it to the network. A server, communicatively coupled to the network, receives this data to determine the component parameter, which includes at least one of brake system status, pressure level, valve status, time measurement, or switch position. The server is configured to store received data to build a log or aggregate information. Characterized by predictive capability, the server extrapolates future component parameters based on the stored log and/or aggregated information. The system may further include a gateway to relay data to the server and a user device for displaying determined parameters.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
The dossier documents provide a comprehensive record of the patent's prosecution history - including filings, correspondence, and decisions made by patent offices - and are crucial for understanding the patent's legal journey and any challenges it may have faced during examination.
