In its latest issue III/2024, the magazine "Railway News" describes how high-tech sensors, wireless messaging and signal processing are improving the quality and reliability of train toilet systems. The magazine is available here:
The article also describes Deutsche Bahn's pilot project with BeST.
Excerpt:
"Whether you're on a short commute or a long journey, the condition of train toilets can make or break your travel experience. If the wastewater tanks in train toilets are not emptied, or if defects are discovered too late, the toilets can become unusable. In the worst case, if several tanks are not properly maintained, the entire train may have to be taken out of service temporarily. Now, a solution is available.."
"With the introduction of this system, trains that are taken out of service due to non-serviced or blocked toilet facilities should be a thing of the past and railway operators can take another big step towards predictive maintenance."
