AbstractIn recent years, with the development of IoT, research and development of wireless sensor networks for monitoring has been advanced to monitor the condition of various devices in railway vehicles and notify train crews. In the operation of railway vehicles, the composition may be changed at stations by coupling and decoupling, and it is necessary to set up inter‐vehicle wireless network considering them. Therefore, to transmit sensor data in railway vehicles, we propose an autonomous configuration establishment method of wireless network for railway vehicles considering coupling and decoupling.
