Abstract

Advances in information and communications technology have enabled the adoption of wireless communication techniques in all sectors for the transmission of information in all forms between any two points. Wireless communications and distributed computing have promoted the development of vehicle-monitoring systems to reduce the maintenance and inspection requirements of railway systems while maintaining safety and reliability. This paper surveys existing wireless techniques used in the railway industry for both communications and signalling purposes. Finally we present our work in progress on low-cost, low-power wireless sensor networking architecture to monitor the health of railway wagons attached to a moving locomotive.

Recommendations

Joint Sink Mobility and Node Deployment for Prolonging Lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks
BCGIN '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Business Computing and Global Informatization

When cluster heads transmit their data to the sink via multi-hop mode, the cluster heads closer to the sink are burdened with heavy relay traffic and tend to die early. In this paper, taking both sink mobility and node deployment into account, we ...
Node Placement Strategy in Wireless Sensor Network

The performance and quality of services in wireless sensor networks WSNs depend on coverage and connectivity. Node placement is a fundamental issue closely related to the coverage and connectivity in sensor networks. Node placement influences the target ...
Power-efficient clustering routing protocol based on applications in wireless sensor network
WiCOM'09: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Wireless communications, networking and mobile computing

In the network layer of wireless sensor network (WSN), how to design a kind of routing protocol that could prolong the lifetime of network, enhance the connections among nodes and reduce energy dissipation is one of the main hot spots in WSN. This paper ...
