무선 센서 네트워크에서의 통신은 여러 계층으로 나뉘어 각 계층별 역할을 수행하므로 무선통신이 가능할 수 있다. 센서 네트워크에서의 통신계층 중 하나인 MAC(Medium Access Control)계층은 데이터의 에러, 흐름을 제어하고 자원을 관리하기 위해서 사용되며 MAC Protocol을 사용하여 센서 노드간의 통신을 보장한다. 전통적인 MAC Protocol은 패킷 처리율의 최대화, 지연의 최소화 및 공평성 제공이 주된 목적으로 설계된 된다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서 MAC 프로토콜은 응용에 따라 차이는 있으나 대부분 많은 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 또한 멀티 홉 통신을 하기 때문에 센서 장치의 제한된 배터리 수명으로 인해 소모되는 에너지를 최소화 하여 네트워크 에너지의 효율성을 높이는 것이 가장 큰 목적이다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 효율성 측면을 강조하기 위해서 MAC프로토콜의 문제점을 알아보고 그 중에서 최우선적으로 요구되는 에너지 효율성에 대해서 S-MAC, T-MAC의 비교와 T-MAC의 확률값을 변경에 따른 어느 경우가 가장 효율적인지 active time을 통하여 알아보았다.

In this paper, a real-time multi-source sensor data management system based on wireless sensor network is proposed and implemented. The proposed management system is designed to transmit the wireless data to the server in order to monitor and control the multi-source target's status efficiently by analyzing them. The proposed system is implemented to make it possible to control and transmit the wireless sensor data by classifying them, of which data are issued from the clustered sources composed of a number of the remote multiple sensors. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we measure and analyze both the transmission delay time according to the distance and the data loss rate issued from multiple data sources. From these results, it is verified that the proposed system has a good performance.

홍수기 효과적인 하천관리를 위해서는 광역 모니터링을 위한 기술 확보가 매우 중요하며, 최근 드론을 활용한 하천 모니터링에 관한 관심이 점차 증가되고 있다. 하천관리에 필요한 드론 탑재용 센서는 기본적으로 RGB 광학센서를 비롯하여 근적외선(Nir) 및 열적외선 센서가 함께 운용되는 것이 효과적이다. 그러나 현재 판매되는 드론 카메라를 살펴보면 근적외선과 열적외선 센서가 별도로 분리되어 있고 광학센서에 비해 상대적으로 매우 고가로 판매되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 하천 모니터링을 위해서는 광학(RGB), 근적외선 그리고 열적외선 센서가 통합된 저가의 탑재체 개발이 시급하고 이를 활용한 하천 모니터링 프로세스를 정립할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반 드론에 쉽게 탑재 가능한 하천 모니터링용 탑재체를 개발하였으며, 이를 기반으로 하천 홍수 및 부유사 모니터링에 활용하였다. 광학센서는 하천의 주요 형상을 확인하는데 이용하였으며, 근적외선 센서는 홍수 및 부유사 탐지에 활용하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 비교적 넓은 하천 구역에 대한 공간정보를 구축하기 위해 75% 이상의 중복도를 가지고 촬영하도록 세팅하였으며 영상접합 SW를 활용하여 정사영상을 생성하였다. 구축한 근적외선 정사영상으로부터 영상분석 프로그램을 활용하여 홍수 및 부유사 영역을 추출하였으며 이를 통해 홍수기 하천 모니터링 및 치수 업무 의사결정을 위한 정보를 제공할 수 있었다. 저가용 드론 센서는 상용 SW와의 연계가 어렵기 때문에 자동비행 프로그램처럼 해당 위치별 영상 촬영이 어려운 한계가 있었으며, 본 연구에서는 센서의 제원특성을 활용하여 자동비행 SW에서도 일정 이상의 중복도를 확보할 수 있는 비행고도별 촬영시간 등을 종합적으로 설계하였다. 이를 통해 해당 지역에 대한 하천 모니터링용 정사영상을 구축할 수 있었으며 기존의 고가용 드론 센서와 유사한 효과를 가져올 수 있었다.

In data collection using a mobile sink, the time that sensor nodes are included in its communication radius is not uniform. The data collection schedule in non-uniform time is needed between a mobile sink and sensor nodes for efficient data collection. The existing data collection schemes using a mobile sink considered staying time in its communication range and data collected by the mobile sink. However, they did not consider the characteristics of data collected in sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a TDMA based schedule scheme that consists of the data collection period by each sensor nodes and the data collection period between a mobile sink and sensor nodes. Moreover, we propose a data collection scheme considering the variability of data in sensor networks. The proposed data collection scheme collects only data that changed larger than the threshold set by the user. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with DWEDF that aims to collect data uniformly. As a result, our experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces about 23% energy consumption and the data collection failure of sensor nodes over the DWEDF.

The biased estimation of low density rainfall network and radar rainfall has limited application to extreme rainfall in a small area. To improve this, more rainfall information needs to be produced. In this study, we analyzed the applicability of the vehicle rainfall sensor developed and used recently. The developed rainfall sensor was attached to the vehicle to observe the rainfall according to the movement of the vehicle. The analytical method used time series and average rainfall values for observations of rainfall sensors and nearby rainfall stations. The results show that the trend of observed values according to rainfall events shows a certain pattern. It is analyzed that it is caused by various causes such as the difference between the observation position of the rainfall sensor and the nearby rainfall station, the moving speed of the vehicle, and the rainfall observation method. This result shows the possibility of rainfall observation using a rainfall sensor for a vehicle, and it is possible to observe rainfall more precisely through experiments and improvement of rainfall sensors in various conditions in the future.

In this paper, an auxiliary device was implemented to help blind people more safely from obstacles or risk factors while walking. The ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles in the front, so that the noise gap and the vibration intensity of the buzzer can be heard differently by distance and angle, and so the situation can be perceived by pedestrians. When the ambient light becomes darker than the light intensity set using the CdS resistance value of the light sensor, the LED automatically turns on, makes it easier for pedestrians to recognize the position of the auxiliary device through buzzer if the pedestrian misses the aid using the gyro sensor's slope. Moreover, the location and situation of the blind were transmitted to the caregiver to check safety and behavior using GPS and Bluetooth.

Due to the recent development of battery technology, various types of means of transportation such as electric kickboards, Segways, and electric bicycles have emerged, which can be defined as Personal Mobility. In this paper, as the incidence of safety accidents increases due to the increase in the number of users of Personal Mobility, safety helmet devices that strengthen safety capabilities and peripheral recognition functions were studied. In order for the helmet to send a safety signal, Arduino was used as a base to set the value of the sensor according to changes in distance and angle using the ultrasonic sensor to minimize errors and ensure smooth recognition. In addition, a gyro sensor was used to turn on the direction indicator according to each slope. Using a CDS sensor, the LED is designed to turn on when it goes below 150 lux at night. Finally, it is possible to check whether a helmet is worn within 5cm, and when driving at an average speed, the direction indicator light is turned on at 10 degrees, and the LED is turned on at less than 150 lux.

Applications of smart sensors have been extended to safety systems in the aerospace, transportation and civil engineering fields. In particular, structural health monitoring techniques using smart sensors have gradually become necessary and have been developed to prevent dangers to human life and damage to assets. Generally, smart sensors are based on electro-magnets and have several weaknesses, including electro-magnetic interference and distortion. Therefore, fiber optic sensors are an outstanding alternative to overcome the weaknesses of electro-magnetic sensors. However, they require expensive devices and complex systems. This paper proposes a new, affordable and simple sensor system that uses a single fiber to monitor pressures at multiple-points. Moreover, a prototype of the sensor system was manufactured and tested for a feasibility study. Based on the results of this experimental test, a relationship was carefully observed between the bend loss conditions and light-intensity. As a result, it was shown that impacts at multiple-points could be monitored.

Existing environmental measuring devices mainly focus on electromagnetic wave and eco-friendly product certification and durability test, and sensor reliability verification and verification of measurement data are conducted mainly through sensor performance evaluation through type approval and registration, acceptance test, initial calibration, and periodic test. This platform has established an ICT-based environmental monitoring sensor reliability verification system that supports not only performance evaluation for each target sensor, but also a verification system for sensor data reliability. A sensor board to collect sensor data for environmental information was produced, and a sensor and data reliability evaluation and verification service system was standardized. In addition, to evaluate and verify the reliability of sensor data based on ICT, a sensor data platform monitoring prototype using LoRa communication was produced, and the test was conducted in smart cities. To analyze the data received through the system, an optimization algorithm was developed using machine learning. Through this, a sensor big data analysis system is established for reliability verification, and the foundation for an integrated evaluation and verification system is provide.
