DOI: 10.1109/jiot.2020.3023475
Abstract: Current railway track condition monitoring relies on inefficient human inspectors and expensive inspection vehicles, where high-frequency inspection is unreachable since these methods occupy the tracks. This article proposes a batteryless railway monitoring system based on… read more here.
