The paper describes a demo platform which utilizes wireless sensor network for increasing the safety and comfort in the railway transport, particularly on the train. The platform is composed of several analog sensors (e.g. temperature, humidity and motion), Sun SPOT modules and various wireless transmision devices. GUI and web page are designed for real time and remote monitoring of the environmental conditions in the wagons. The characteristics environment for wireless data transfer requires specific and resistant solution (i.e. transceivers for the wireless transfer), and for that reason the demo platform implements varios wireless devices which are tested and compared. The measurement results for the delay and packet losses from these modems are analyzed and the most appropriate solutions for the practical demo realization are proposed.
