Design of catenary condition monitoring system between robot and LoRa

Abstract

To improve safety during ordinary railway catenary maintenance operations and the anti-interference of transmission information, a set of ordinary railway catenary condition monitoring system based on artificial intelligence robot technology and LoRa communication technology is designed. The system is mainly composed of a robot that can inspect electricity, hook ground wire and return line in the job site as a data acquisition device and the pattern constitution of transmitting and processing status information outside the job site and realizing visualized monitoring at the terminal. After the monitoring and simulation test, the anti-interference results of the robot data collection are in line with expectations. Meanwhile, the data transmission between the LoRa gateway and the cloud server is normal, and visualized monitoring of the status information from the PC side is realized.
