Cálculo da distância percorrida em um sistema de monitoramento em tempo real dos trens da Região Metropolitana do Recife

Abstract

The Metrorail Transport System of the Metropolitan Region of Recife is of great importance for the transportation of its citizens. The RailBee System emerged as a dynamic and autonomous telemetry system, and it is composed of a network of wireless sensors and embedded electronic systems. RailBee performs the strategic monitoring of trains in the Metropolitan Region of Recife in order to improve the services provided to its users. Thus, our research group develops new technologies to

assist in the monitoring of trains and contribute to the advancement of the metro- railway sector. Among the modules that make up RailBee, the RailBee Accelerometer

Module stands out. This module is an innovative device composed of inertial sensors. Inertial sensors capture information from trains and, through the application of algorithms in their software, they make it possible to obtain information on the acceleration, orientation, inclination, position and distance traveled by the train on the railroad. This information is sent, through the RailBee Telemetric System, to the Operational Control Center. In the Control Center the data is visualized by traffic controllers, technicians and engineers. The RailBee Telemetric System will enable the strategic decisions of employees of the Metrorail Transport System to take place more quickly and safely.
