In addition, the lower power consumption and relatively low costs of theses sensors when compared to traditional sensor technology can reduce the impact of damaged or lost equipment [15]. Moreover, WSNs have proved that they can be used under severe weather conditions, such as strong wind, ...
The geometry parameters of the track are measured by the measuring equipment mounted on the trolley, such as inclinators, accelerometers, gyroscopes, odometers, laser scanners, total stations, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and so on, when the trolley moves on the track driven by ...
