Abstract
A railway carriage has a number of batteries, a charger associated with each of the batteries and at least one piece of equipment powered by the batteries, and a vehicle monitoring system. The monitoring system includes at least one sensor of a battery state parameter for each battery, a communication network adapted to receive information from each sensor of a battery state parameter and from each charger, and to transmit the received information to a processor. The processor is adapted to process information relating to a battery whose associated charger is switched off or defective using the information received for the other batteries.
