This paper presents the development of a dynamic telemetric system of rail transit vehicles in metropolitan rail meshes that uses the transmission of signals via radio, according to communication protocol international standard. It consists of microcontrollers and of a radio transceiver, which, when coupled to sensors, capture and transmit the data in question, acting as a wireless transducer. It is modular technology of low cost, low power, consumption security and it is also capable of monitoring several variables simultaneously. It is innovative with regard to the monitoring of vehicles operating in permanent ways, assessing real-time performance. This assessment is intended to assist in preventive and corrective operation and maintenance of rail vehicles in order to improve the quality of services provided. This system has as main objective to enable a constant evaluation of factors which influence in the performance of the trains, as actual speed and pressure on the stock air suspension, so as to allow intervention strategies, thus avoiding a partial or total degradation of the transport services to passengers. To perform real-time telemetry, a network of wireless sensors, using ZigBee technology was set up in the way of traffic. The network made the capture and transmission of data collected from a train to the base station where a program installed on a personal computer is instructed to receive and send the collected data through an Ethernet network to a central monitoring system. The base station system acts as a data server providing information to a monitoring system installed in the Operational Control Center (OCC) of the Brazilian Company of Urban Train - Recife (CBTU / METROREC). The monitoring system installed in OCC is responsible for managing the storage and display of data received. It will display data and graphics in real time allowing traffic controllers monitor the functioning of the train and detect possible problems. The system also stores the data in a database for further studies.
