Energy harvesting WSN at SNCF France

SNCF is the french national railway authority. This French Profit Public Body (railway activity) and its subsidiaries employs 200 000 people and had 25.2 billion € in 2008. It is attracted to Wireless sensor Networks (WSN) because installing wired sensors in existing rolling stock or in wide outdoor deployment (along rail track, in maintenance or working sites) or for temporary deployments can be complex and very expensive.
