Abstract :
Management of shunting yards is a highly responsible task and mainly done manually with visual inspection or at modern stations done with a highly sophisticated sensor technology. A few distributed radar sensors allow the permanent inspection of the rails and wagons under all weather conditions. The new concept is described and illustrated by measurement results.
