Abstract:	The application of wireless sensor network technology is very promising to meet the demand for real-time monitoring of multimodal transport processes. In such an application context, requirements like energy efficiency, cost efficiency, and satisfying users’ information needs have to be met. Within the demonstration proposed with this paper, we outline the basic application potential of wireless sensor networks for realtime monitoring of multimodal transport processes. To address the requirements in this context, we particularly exhibit our approach of local data filtering with scoresheets. Furthermore, we demonstrate different other monitoring approaches and alternatives to detect and transmit events during a multimodal transport process with wireless sensor network technology. This allows for a direct comparison between these approaches and our scoresheet-based approach. It can be shown that the scoresheetbased monitoring approach permits real-time event notification and local data filtering for energy effi iency and cost efficiency, while providing sufficient user information.
