description In this paper, a different approach to the traditional literature review—literature systematic mapping—is adopted to summarize the progress in the recent research on railway catenary system condition monitoring in terms of aspects such as sensor categories, monitoring targets, and so forth. Importantly, the deep interconnections among these aspects are also investigated through systematic mapping. In addition, the authorship and publication trends are also examined. Compared to a traditional literature review, the literature mapping approach focuses less on the technical details of the research but reflects the research trends, and focuses in a specific field by visualizing them with the help of different plots and figures, which makes it more visually direct and comprehensible than the traditional literature review approach.
