Abstract(in English) Application of sensor networks to railway facility management is expected to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of maintenance. In such applications, sensor networks are often used to monitor conditions of facilities in order to avoid potentially dangerous situations as well as to predict the future degradation of facilities. Precision of prediction highly depends on the frequency of sensing and density of sensor nodes. Sensing with high frequency and high density may often lead to high installation and/or operation cost of monitoring systems. Therefore, the tradeoff between the precision of prediction and the installation/operation cost of monitoring systems can be an important issue. In this report we describe a variety of requirements needed to realize condition monitoring systems for railway facilities and based on these requirements, discuss the necessity of energy-harvesting sensor network and their stable operations. We also propose a basic framework for the design and operation of energy-harvesting sensor networks which satisfy the requirements of long-term operation of condition monitoring systems.
