Structural health monitoring with wireless sensor networks has received much attention in recent years due to the ease of sensor installation and low deployment and maintenance costs. However, sensor network technology needs to solve numerous challenges in order to substitute conventional systems: large amounts of data, remote configuration of measurement parameters, on-site calibration of sensors and robust networking functionality for long-term deployments. We present a structural health monitoring network that addresses these challenges and is used in several deployments for monitoring of bridges and buildings. Our system supports a diverse set of sensors, a library of highly optimized processing algorithms and a lightweight solution to support a wide range of network runtime configurations. This allows flexible partitioning of the application between the sensor network and the backend software. We present an analysis of this partitioning and evaluate the performance of our system in three experimental network deployments on civil structures.

In this paper, a real-time air quality monitoring system based on wireless network is designed and implemented for industrial park or multiuse facilities. The existing gas detector is high price and hard to apply the remote monitoring system. On the other hand, demand for air quality monitoring is increasing because of industrial gas accident, air pollution, and so on. In Korea, indoor air regulation was established by law. According to indoor air regulation, CO2, CO, and NO2 are important gases as the air quality standard. So we study the gas detector for indoor air quality and the wireless network system. The wireless network consist of sensor network and WCDMA to apply various place. To verify the performance of the implemented gas detector, the gas measurement experiment is performed in laboratory environment by using the realized gas detecting wireless sensor node. And we evaluate the experiment results.

Nowadays, a rapid development in wind power technologies is occurring compared with other renewable energies. This advance in technology has facilitated a new generation of wind turbines with larger capacity and higher efficiency. As the height of the turbines and the distance between turbines increases, the monitoring and control of this new generation wind turbines presents new challenges. This paper presents the architectural design, simulation, and evaluation of hybrid communication networks for a large-scale wind turbine (WT). The communication network of WT is designed based on logical node (LN) concepts of the IEC 61400-25 standard. The proposed hybrid network architectures are modeled and evaluated by OPNET. We also investigate network performance using three different technologies: Ethernet-based, WiFi-based, and ZigBee-based. Our network model is validated by analyzing the simulation results. This work contributes to the design of a reliable communication network for monitoring and controlling a wind power farms (WPF).

With the feature of convenience and low cost, remote healthcare monitoring (RHM) has been extensively used in modern disease management to improve the quality of life. Due to the privacy of health data, it is of great importance to implement RHM based on a secure and dependable network. However, the network connectivity of existing RHM systems is unreliable in disaster area because of the unforeseeable damage to the communication infrastructure. To design a secure RHM system in disaster area, this paper presents a Secure VANET-Assisted Remote Healthcare Monitoring System (SVC) by utilizing the unique "store-carry-forward" transmission mode of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). To improve the network performance, the VANET in SVC is designed to be a two-level network consisting of two kinds of vehicles. Specially, an innovative two-level key management model by mixing certificate-based cryptography and ID-based cryptography is customized to manage the trust of vehicles. In addition, the strong privacy of the health information including context privacy is taken into account in our scheme by combining searchable public-key encryption and broadcast techniques. Finally, comprehensive security and performance analysis demonstrate the scheme is secure and efficient.

복잡한 지하철 역사에서 공기질은 승객의 안전과 건강을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. $CO_2$, VOCs먼지, 미생물 등의 농도는 역사의 여러 지점에서뿐만 아니라 원격지점에서도 감시 및 제어가 가능해야 하기 때문에 유무선 네트워크를 사용한 웹기반 감시 및 제어가 필요하다. 가상디바이스 네트워크(VDN) 개념에 근거한 원격 무선센서 네트워크와 디바이스 네트워크(LonWorks)를 IP 네트워크에 연동시키면 매우 강력한 분산 감시 및 제어 성능을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 지하철역사내 공기질 감시 및 제어를 위한 유무선 네트워크의 성능평가를 실시하였다. 특히 유무선 네트워크의 데이터 전송과 지연특성을 평가하고 승객의 안전과 건강을 위한 핵심요소를 확인하였다.

통신망에 대한 성능 관리는 망 서비스의 품질 유지를 위해 매우 중요하며 이를 위해서는 각 망 노드 별로 성능 데이터의 수집 및 관찰이 필수적이다. 그러나 대부분의 공중 통신망은 다양하고 이질적인 통신망 장비들로 구성되며 또한 이들은 대부분 자체적인 성능 관리 시스템으로 관리되고 있어 통합 성능관리 시스템의 구현에 어려움이 있다. 또한 최근 몇 년간 통합 망관리를 위한 TMN (Telecommunication Management Network) 기반의 망관리 시스템 개발이 다수 이루어지고 있으나 성능관리에 대한 구현은 미비한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 ITU-T Q3 객체 모델을 이용하여 ATM 교환 시스템의 성능 감시 구조를 제안하고, 자체 관리 시스템과의 연동을 통한 Proxy 성능 관리대행자의 기능 설계 및 구현 방법에 대해 기술하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 Proxy 성능 관리 대행자는 ATM 교환 시스템들이 갖고 있는 다양한 자체 성능 관리 기능을 TMN 표준 성능 관리 인터페이스로 변환하는 기능을 제공함으로써 전체 망에 대한 통합 성능 관리를 가능하게 할 것이다.

It is critically important to identify unexpected loose parts in a nuclear reactor pressure vessel, since they may collide with and cause damage to internal structures. Mass estimation can provide key information regarding the kind as well as the location of loose parts. This study proposes a mass estimation method based on an artificial neural network (ANN), which can overcome several unresolved issues involved in other conventional methods. In the ANN model, input parameters are the discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients of the auto-power spectrum density (APSD) of the measured impact acceleration signal. The performance of the proposed method is then evaluated through application to a large-sized plate and a 1/8-scaled mockup of a reactor pressure vessel. The results are compared with those obtained using a conventional method, the frequency ratio (FR) method. It is shown that the proposed method is capable of estimating the impact mass with 30% lower relative error than the FR method, thus improving the estimation performance.

This paper describes development of real-time condition monitoring system to observe state of a container crane in a port. To analyze the state of a crane, the strength and the direction of wind are measured with sensors along with the load resulted a crane at the moment. The measured signals are processed by especially developed conditioning board and converted into digital data. Measured data are analyzed to define the state of the crane at an indicator. For transmission of these data to the indicator, we implemented wireless sensor network based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC(Media Access Control) protocol and Bluetooth network protocol. To extend the networking distance between the indicator and sensor nodes, the shortest path routing algorithm was applied for WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) networks. The indicator sends the state information of the crane to monitoring server through IEEE 802.11 b wireless LAN(Local Area Network). Monitoring server decides whether alarm should be issued or not. The performance of developed WSN and Bluetooth network were evaluated and analyzed in terms of communication delay and throughput.
