Design of Wireless Sensor Network in the Railway Facilities

In recent years, research and development on the condition monitoring systems using the wireless sensor network in the railway have been proceeded. The railway has a characteristic such as extending linearly, many metal objects becoming obstacles to radio wave propagation. However, there are few cases of the wireless sensor network design based on the features of the railway environment. In this study, we propose the procedure to design the wireless sensor network in the railway. And we introduce the demonstration test and the result in the railway slope based on this procedure.
