Construction supply chain management (CSCM) has become one of the critical factors that determine the success of a construction project as it becomes increasingly complicated and mega-sized. Particularly for high-rise or mega-sized building construction, just-in-time supply chain management is required due to lack of storage space and effective logistics for construction components and materials at a construction site. Despite the fact that research and development of radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have been performed, construction project managers still need to carry mobile devices and check material and component flow at each stage of the supply chain process. This research proposes that the equipment used in the construction supply chain process, such as movers, trailers, gates, and hoists, can become main actors in the supply chain process using RFID and WSN technologies. And the proposed equipment and process focused on a solution to the redundancy identification problem, which has been observed in operations that use RFID/WSN-based processes for construction logistics. This paper also presents issues identified through verification and validation of the research results and proposes further studies.

Advent of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has provided potentials to a variety of construction applications. It is well appreciated that WSNs have advantages over traditional wired system, such as ease of installation and maintenance with increased cost savings and efficiencies. However, the obstruction of wireless signal from physical objects in the heterogeneous construction environment often brings challenges to WSN measurement system. This paper analyzed the obstruction characteristic of construction environment where construction materials, equipment, and built structures obstruct the wireless signal yielding negative effect of measurement system. By adopting evaluation criteria, such as packet reception rate, field experiments have been implemented to quantitatively identify the interference of wireless signal from penetration, reflection, and network traffic under the construction environment. The results show that reliable performance of wireless sensor in construction environment depends on the optimal separation distance between a receiver and a transmitter, obstruction types, obstruction thickness, and transmission interval. In addition, the methodology and experimental results of this paper could be used in the practical design of network topology when hundreds of sensor nodes form a mesh network in the large scale construction applications.

WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)를 활용하는 범위가 점차 확대 되면서 TCP/IP 기반의 공용 네트워크에서 WSN에 접근하고자 하는 요구가 증가 하였고, 이로 인해 이 네트워크 환경 모델을 테스트하기 위한 연구가 꾸준히 진행 되었다. 하지만 다수의 센서 노드들을 필요로 하는 WSN을 위한 테스트 베드를 구축하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 네트워크 환경 모델을 테스트베드와 NS-3를 통합한 테스트 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공한다. 뿐만아니라 테스트베드의 시뮬레이션 시간도 NS-3의 리얼타임 스케줄러를 이용하여 통합할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공한다.

Temperature during concrete curing can be effectively used to predict the early age strength of concrete However, various current methods have limits to provide the temperature data in real time due to harsh working environment including frequent cutting of wires. This paper presents the results of our investigation of an all-in-one Wireless sensor network (WSN) for the management of the curing temperature of in-placed concrete at early curing stages. Also, the network device for transmission can be easily separated from the probe sensor part and reused consistently. The field experiment entailed measuring the curing temperature of concrete using the WSN. After fresh concrete was poured into the formworks, the signals were measured at a 150 m radius from the field office. The signal was acquired for 28 days without any dispersion or interruption at the construction site; therefore, this study confirms the applicability of the proposed system to a construction site.

In view of the problems of insufficient data collection and processing capability of multi-source heterogeneous equipment, and low visibility of equipment status at the ship block construction site. A data collection method for ship block construction equipment based on wireless sensor network (WSN) technology and a data processing method based on edge computing were proposed. Based on the Browser/Server (B/S) architecture and the OneNET platform, an online monitoring system for ship block construction equipment was designed and developed, which realized the visual online monitoring and management of the ship block construction equipment status. Not only that, the feasibility and reliability of the monitoring system were verified by using the intelligent tire frame system as the application object. The research of this project can lay the foundation for the ship block construction equipment management and the ship block intelligent construction, and ultimately improve the quality and efficiency of ship block construction.

In these days, Disaster Management Systems have still put emphasis on its recovery more than the prevention of disaster events. However, the countermeasure of restoration has limitations to prevent the caused loss because the disasters often happen and are massive. Therefore, we propose a disaster prevention system for supporting the safe urban. In this paper, we try to construct a real-time monitoring system to prevent disaster events using new technologies such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Geographic Information System (GIS). As a prototype to simulate the fire disasters on real-time, we construct gas sensors and temperature sensors. Our system consists of a WSN system to collect data of the gas and temperature sensors and to monitor the situation information. Our contribution is to provide a prototype application to prevent the disasters from the fire by constructing a WSN system with gas and temperature sensors.

Data convergecast is an indispensable task for any WSN applications. Typically, scheduling in the WSN consists of two phases: tree construction and scheduling. The optimal tree structure and scheduling for the network is proven NP-hard. This paper focuses on the delay optimality while constructing the data convergecast tree. The algorithm can take any tree as the input, and by performing the switches (i.e. a node changes its parent), the expected aggregation delay is potentially reduced. Note that while constructing the tree, only the in-tree collisions between the child nodes sending data to their common parent is considered.

무선센서네트워크는 구축과 운영측면에서 기존 네트워크방식보다 유리하나 각종 산업플랜트의 중요감시 대상설비는 대부분 건물내부 또는 지하에 위치하며 고정되어있어 일반적인 형태로는 적용이 어렵다. 이러한 특정 환경의 설비 감시를 위해서는 해당 조건에 적합한 무선센서네트워크 형태로 적용해야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 적합한 형태 확인을 위해 TinyOS시뮬레이터인 TOSSIM을 이용하여 고정설비감시 네트워크 환경과 유사한 조건에서 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 그 결과를 제시한다. 확인 대상은 LEACH, Flooding 및 Gossiping 프로토콜로 네트워크의 부하분산과 효율 면에서 계층구조인 LEACH가 좀 더 우수함을 나타낸다.
