Abstract

Galfenol magnetostictive device was discovered and designed to used as energy harvesting from vibration. Based on stress variation effects to high magnetic flux fluctuation in the Galfenol, voltage can be generated with sense coil wound around the Galfenol. This paper presents railway monitoring based on Galfenol based vibrating magnetostrictive sensor. Energy generated from Galfenol magnetostrictive sensor can be supplied to the wireless module in order to transmit occupied track information and train location to railway operation control center. In experiment, sensor characteristics and railway detection experiment is presented. ฉ 2017 IEEE.
