Smart Train Stations with LoRaWAN
summary
Deutsche Bahn deploys LoRaWAN to monitor and control station assets: 60 station clocks report health and receive OTA updates, LED tubes carry sensors, and a compact PaxCounter uses an ESP32 Wi‑Fi sniffing microcontroller to count nearby devices every 60–240s and uplink simple counts (MACs hashed per cycle, no storage). Trials run for people-counting to trigger cleaning/security actions and for ground/optical snow and ice detection sensors; initial pilots report workable, low-cost results.
