For an experiment I'm looking for a particular type of data set, been looking for quite a while but couldn't find any data sets which even remotely match this description. Are there any good datasets on the internet with these characteristics:

  • time series
  • sensor data (temperature, humidity, velocity, frequency, ...)
  • collected on trains (or comparable vehicle)
  • available in tabular format, like CSV, XSLX, ...
    (or as long as I can convert it to a tabular form and use it locally it should be okay.)

The purpose of this is to emulate a bunch of sensors with real world values. Based on the data, I could let a 'sensor' output a value at a particular rate, for example 20 Hz. This data preferably comes from trains because I need to emulate train sensors, and I don't have access to a real train.

  • Is tabular format really important? What if you could get the data from an SOS service as XML

Not sure if this dataset matches your requirements completely. At least it reads as a dataset from a German logistics company having sensors mounted on shipping containers. The description is in German but the field names of the dataset are mainly in English.

It contains lat/ lon coordinates, motion, humidity and temperature values. And it comes in csv format already.

  • Well it's closer to what I'm looking for than most things I already found myself. With a bit of cleaning and modifications it will be useful to me :) Thank you!
