Abstract:
This paper presents an accelerometer data collection system implemented with low cost off-the-shelf wireless sensor nodes. The design is focused on addressing some practical issues including effective sensor data offloading schemes suitable for different usage scenarios. Making the system highly configurable and adaptive in terms of selecting appropriate triggers for starting/stopping data collection and appropriate data offloading schemes was also a key design focus. The system has been developed for carrying out field tests, which involved attaching some sensor nodes to railway sleepers and gathering raw accelerometer data. The initial field test on an operational rail track proved the configurability and adaptability of our wireless sensor network system.
