Abstract:
The impact of train loading deteriorates ballasted track that has differential settlement of ballasted layer primarily around rail joints. However the formation process of settlement has not yet clarified. With the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the research on applying the remote monitoring system using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become prevalent in railway equipment. This study focuses on the track monitoring, especially ballast condition, and conducted experiments of WSN to apply that monitoring. From a result of the experiments, the large attenuation by ballast was not confirmed, therefore, WSN can be used to monitor the condition of ballast.
