Monitoring the condition of the protective fence above the railway track

摘要

The paper deals with the description of the development and implementation of a complex monitoring system, which is used to monitor the condition of the protective fence installed above the railway track. The protective fence is used to capture falling rocks and other material from the slope above the track. In doing so, it fulfills a protective safety function against possible danger of passing trains from falling rocks. In a critical case, human health could also be endangered. The monitoring system is based on the use of accelerometer wireless sensors that are located at defined locations on the fence in the MESH network. IQRF technology is used. The data transfer is carried out using the GSM gateway to the SQL database. SW Grafana is used for data visualization.
