In this paper, we propose the design of LED Streetlight Platform with capabilities of weather monitoring and color temperature control. Several previous works are focused on the energy efficiency or data management of streetlight system, but no work has been done on the lighting performance, especially when natural phenomenon such as fog or haze appears on the street and obstructs the visibility of drivers and pedestrians. To solve such issue, we propose the use of two LED lamps with different correlated color temperature, which will be activated interchangeably according to the condition on the street. We also present the design of communication scheme between each devices in the system. Moreover, our experimental results show the LED Streetlight Platform can perform well and the data can be displayed properly at the website.

In this paper, a remote control system capable of monitoring and controlling the temperature of a refrigerator in real time using the ZigBee communication technology is developed. The developed system provides 24-hour surveillance function including temperature maintenance and it is able to determine monitored data from a remote location and to change the setting of the temperature value. In case the value is out of the setting, it is designed for administrators to verify the problem and take action, sending alarms to management server and the emergency to a preset administrator via SMS. Applying this system to refrigerators storing commercial, medical, and experimental material, the real time status such as temperature and malfunction of refrigerator can be managed up to 16 SZM(Slave Zigbee Module) by only one MZM(Master Zigbee Module).

In order to maintain clean environment in an interior space and an enclosed cattle pen, we have to measure and control environmental factors which are temperature, humidity and CO2, CH4 and so on. Although the measured values are within the normal range, those are increased or decreased sharply by the feces or environmental impacts. In order to take early an appropriate action, we propose an early warning method(EWarM) in this paper, which can recognize the rapidly changing time for the increasing or decreasing rate of the measured values. In addition, we developed fuzzy control system based on an EWarM. We verified that this system based on an EWarM is used for eliminating that impacts through performance evaluation in a variety of environmental situations.

A low-cost wireless sensor network (WSN) solution with highly expandable super and simple nodes was developed. The super node was designed as a sensing unit as well as a receiving terminal with low energy consumption. The simple node was designed to serve as a cheaper alternative for large-scale deployment. A 12-bit ADC inputs and DAC outputs were reserved for sensor boards to ease the sensing integration. Vibration and thermal field tests of the Chi-Lu Bridge were conducted to evaluate the WSN's performance. Integral acceleration, temperature and tilt sensing modules were constructed to simplify the task of long-term environmental monitoring on this bridge, while a star topology was used to avoid collisions and reduce power consumption. We showed that, given sufficient power and additional power amplifier, the WSN can successfully be active for more than 7 days and satisfy the half bridge 120-meter transmission requirement. The time and frequency responses of cables shocked by external force and temperature variations around cables in one day were recorded and analyzed. Finally, guidelines on power characterization of the WSN platform and selection of acceleration sensors for structural health monitoring applications were given.

In this paper we propose a multi-protocol gateway system based on low power wireless communications. The proposed multi-protocol gateway system was designed to allow real-time monitoring and control of the on-site situation through wired and wireless networks by gathering information for streetlight power control and environmental monitoring. The sensing data using multi-sensors with composite processing that selectively used wired or wireless communication (e.g., CDMA, Ethernet (TCP/IP), GPS, etc.) were designed to act as intermediaries that transmitted to the main server through ZigBee. Inaddition, they were designed by separating a CPU board and baseboard to ensure low maintenance cost and ease of hardware replacement. The proposed multi-protocol gateway system's power, impact, continuous operation stability, and immunity test results obtained a normal operation success rate of over 95% and normal continuous operation results. Moreover, in the voltage drop test, instantaneous immunity test, and conductive RF electromagnetic field immunity test, it obtained an average rating result of "A".

In this paper, we propose the efficient Second-Order Differential Power Analysis attack, which has ability to find significant information such as secret key in the devices consisting IT convergence environment such as Smartgrid, Advanced Metering Infrastructure(AMI) and ZigBee-based home networking service. This method helps to find the secret key easily at a device, even though it uses a countermeasure like masking which makes First-Order DPA attack harder. First, we present the performance results of our implementation which implements practical Second-Order DPA attack using the existing preprocessing function, and analyze it. Then we propose a stronger preprocessing function which overcomes countermeasures like masking. Finally, we analyze the results of the Second-Order CPA attack using proposed preprocessing function and verify that proposed scheme is very threatening to the security fields of IT convergence technology through the experimental results.

Currently, electricity consumption and feedback mechanisms are being widely researched in Internet of Things (IoT) areas to realise power consumption monitoring and management through the remote control of appliances. This paper aims to develop a smart electricity utilisation IoT platform with a deep belief network for electricity utilisation feature modelling. In the end node of electricity utilisation, a smart monitoring and control module is developed for automatically operating air conditioners with a gateway, which connects and controls the appliances through an embedded ZigBee solution. To collect electricity consumption data, a programmable smart IoT gateway is developed to connect an IoT cloud server of smart electricity utilisation via the Internet and report the operational parameters and working states. The cloud platform manages the behaviour planning functions of the energy-saving strategies based on the power consumption features analysed by a deep belief network algorithm, which enables the automatic classification of the electricity utilisation situation. Besides increasing the user's comfort and improving the user's experience, the established feature models provide reliable information and effective control suggestions for power reduction by refining the air conditioner operation habits of each house. In addition, several data visualisation technologies are utilised to present the power consumption datasets intuitively.

An efficient management system for parking lots and traffic monitoring in a metropolitan city is a very important issue, which is tightly closed to qualify of life. While a residential permit parking program has been contributing to resolve the lack of parking places, there has been no autonomous authentication system due to no apparent entrance gate and smallness of each parking zone. In this paper, we propose and implement an authentication system for residential permit parking lot using wireless sensor networks, which is cost-effective and even no need for additional managing person. Through the experimental evaluation, we analyzed relationship between the life time of sensor nodes and the various values of sleep periods to minimize power consumption of the nodes, and also showed that the difference of luminance sensed by each sensor node is at least 45 or bigger between when the parking place is occupied or not, resultingly it can be used to decide whether a parking place is occupied or not by simply detecting the change of luminance sensed.
