A rail infrastructure monitoring system enables integrated continuous monitoring and analysis of above and below rail assets, providing passenger and freight operators an end-to-end solution. Embodiments of the system comprise monitoring, coordinator control and display, communications, and business integration. Modern rail and transport techniques of providing integrated logistics are supported, offering improved safety, reduced total cost of ownership and the ability to increase capacity. Also, identification of links between different sets of data in ‘real time’ across all monitored infrastructure is enabled. Field hardware includes three modules: control; wagon master; and sensor, the latter communicating wirelessly with a wagon master module, and each sensor module is associated with a respective wagon or portion of below rail infrastructure. Sensor data values indicate the condition of either values outside the threshold alert of a train master via wagon master units or for below rail directly to the train master, which is then forwarded to a business component.
