“…In order to enable the use of smart technologies with GPS in the condition monitoring of freight railcars, an effective power source is required. In Pan et al [ 347 ], the authors developed a freight railcar electromagnetic energy harvester at the secondary suspensions, with a mechanical motion rectifier mechanism. The harvester was designed, modeled, and tested in both laboratory and field conditions.…”

Condition monitoring of rail transport systems has become a phenomenon of global interest over the past half a century. The approaches to condition monitoring of various rail transport systems—especially in the context of rail vehicle subsystem and track subsystem monitoring—have been evolving, and have become equally significant and challenging. The evolution of the approaches applied to rail systems’ condition monitoring has followed manual maintenance, through methods connected to the application of sensors, up to the currently discussed methods and techniques focused on the mutual use of automation, data processing, and exchange. The aim of this paper is to provide an essential overview of the academic research on the condition monitoring of rail transport systems. This paper reviews existing literature in order to present an up-to-date, content-based analysis based on a coupled methodology consisting of bibliometric performance analysis and systematic literature review. This combination of literature review approaches allows the authors to focus on the identification of the most influential contributors to the advances in research in the analyzed area of interest, and the most influential and prominent researchers, journals, and papers. These findings have led the authors to specify research trends related to the analyzed area, and additionally identify future research agendas in the investigation from engineering perspectives.

“…There are considerable wind resources around moving trains, hence wind energy harvesting is considered a promising approach in the railway field ( Sindhuja, 2014 ; Oñederra et al., 2020 ; Kumar et al., 2016 ; Nurmanova et al., 2018 ). Especially in tunnels, slipstream generated by passing trains has a huge potential to produce energy for powering monitoring sensors ( Pan et al., 2019a , 2019b , 2019c ; Guo et al., 2020 ; Laws et al., 2020 ). Some other ambient energy resources, such as thermal ( Gao et al., 2019 ; Ahn and Choi, 2018 ), solar ( Ruscelli et al., 2017 ), acoustic ( Kralov et al., 2011 ; Noh, 2018 ; Wang et al., 2018a , 2018b ), braking ( Jiang et al., 2014 ; Kaleybar et al., 2017 ), and radio wave energy ( Li et al., 2020b ), have been harvested for applications in railway systems.…”

“…Due to the high energy conversion efficiency, EMGs have been widely adopted in modern energy farms for centralized and large-scale electricity generation. Besides, EMGs have also been developed as distributed and small-scale energy sources for harvesting the in situ energy from various machinery vibrations and human motions [ 55 – 57 ]. When there are relative movements between the magnets and coils in the EMGs, induction current will be generated in the coil.…”

In the past few years, triboelectric nanogenerator-based (TENG-based) hybrid generators and systems have experienced a widespread and flourishing development, ranging among almost every aspect of our lives, e.g., from industry to consumer, outdoor to indoor, and wearable to implantable applications. Although TENG technology has been extensively investigated for mechanical energy harvesting, most developed TENGs still have limitations of small output current, unstable power generation, and low energy utilization rate of multisource energies. To harvest the ubiquitous/coexisted energy forms including mechanical, thermal, and solar energy simultaneously, a promising direction is to integrate TENG with other transducing mechanisms, e.g., electromagnetic generator, piezoelectric nanogenerator, pyroelectric nanogenerator, thermoelectric generator, and solar cell, forming the hybrid generator for synergetic single-source and multisource energy harvesting. The resultant TENG-based hybrid generators utilizing integrated transducing mechanisms are able to compensate for the shortcomings of each mechanism and overcome the above limitations, toward achieving a maximum, reliable, and stable output generation. Hence, in this review, we systematically introduce the key technologies of the TENG-based hybrid generators and hybridized systems, in the aspects of operation principles, structure designs, optimization strategies, power management, and system integration. The recent progress of TENG-based hybrid generators and hybridized systems for the outdoor, indoor, wearable, and implantable applications is also provided. Lastly, we discuss our perspectives on the future development trend of hybrid generators and hybridized systems in environmental monitoring, human activity sensation, human-machine interaction, smart home, healthcare, wearables, implants, robotics, Internet of things (IoT), and many other fields.
