Originální abstrakt

This paper deals with a concept of an autonomous railway monitoring system with energy harvesting source of electric energy. There are several ambient sources of energy on trackside which could be converted into useful electricity for autonomous sensors and electronics. A waste energy of passing train is occurred in form of a rail and sleeper mechanical vibrations. The kinetic energy of mechanical vibration could be transformed into useful electricity in time of passing trains. The presented kinetic energy harvesting device could provide autonomous source of energy for sensing and communication modules. The lab test of energy harvesting device and the autonomous operation of sensing system with communication is presented. The presented system was successfully tested with LoRa module, which could operate for a distance of a few kilometres, and it could transfer information about track condition or dynamic load, e.g. axle counting or vibration monitoring.
