유비쿼터스 사회에서 u-서비스를 구현하기 위한 핵심기술 중의 하나인 무선센서네트워크는 대규모망에서 관리가 어렵고 안정성 및 이동성이 취약하다는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 최근 센서네트워크와 IP망과의 연동을 위한 6LoWPAN에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 6LoWPAN을 이용한 위치 추적 시스템 LTSGM(Location Tracking Service Based on Google Map)을 제안한다. LTSGM 시스템은 IP 인프라 서비스인 구글맵과 연동하여 센서노드의 위치를 시각적으로 제공함으로써 대규모 센서네트워크에서의 유지, 보수, 관리를 보다 용이하게 한다. 또한 모바일노드의 위치를 추적할 수 있으므로 향후 각종 재난, 범죄 등의 응용서비스에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 LTSGM 시스템은 향후 6LoWPAN연구를 위한 시험적인 플랫폼이 될 수 있을 것이다.

There are regularly planned overhaul periods in thermal power plants, which involve the maintenance of the boiler of the power plants. However, thermal power plants workers are always exposed to risk during overhaul periods owing to the narrow space and significant dust inside the boiler. Therefore, it is essential to develop a safety monitoring system that is suitable for operating in this type of environment. In this study, we developed not only a worker three-dimensional (3D)-location monitoring system that can monitor and record the entry/exit of workers, their 3D-location, and fall accidents but also a method to secure the working environment and operation efficiency. This system comprises of a worker tag, which was equipped with an inertial measurement unit, a barometric pressure sensor, and a Bluetooth low energy (BLE), and the tags were given to each worker. In addition, the location of workers inside the boiler was measured using a pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) method and BLE beacons. The location data of the workers tag were transmitted to the integrated database (DB) server through a gateway, and to the administrator monitoring system. The performance of the system was demonstrated inside an actual thermal power plant boiler, and the accuracy and reliability of the system were verified through a number of repeated tests. These results provide insights on designing a new system for monitoring enclosed spaces.

This paper proposes the new high precision monitoring sensor for the Marine Installation. Among variety of sensor network systems, wireless information transmission through the marine is one of the enabling technologies for the development of future marine-observation systems and sensor networks. Applications of marine monitoring range from oil industry to aquaculture, and include instrument monitoring, pollution control, climate recording, prediction of natural disturbances. For these marine applications to be available, however, the provision of precise location information using monitoring sensor is essential. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics for obtaining the location information of monitoring sensor is analyzed. The theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out. The presented results from the above investigation show considerably excellent performance for the Monitoring for the Marine Installation.

This paper presents a systematic investigation of the effect of sensor location on the data quality and subsequently, on the effectiveness of machine health monitoring. Based on an analysis of the signal propagation process from the defect location to the sensor, numerical simulations using finite element modeling were conducted on a bearing test bed to determine the signal strength at several representative sensor locations. The results showed that placing sensors closely to the machine component being monitored is critical to achieving high signal-to-noise ratio, thus improving the data quality. Using millimeter-sized piezoceramic plates, the obtained results were evaluated experimentally. A comparison with a set of commercial vibration sensors verified the developed structural dynamics-based sensor placement strategy. It further demonstrated that the proposed shock wave-based sensing technique provided an effective alternative to vibration measurement, while requiring less space for sensor installation.

The Location Based Service is growing rapidly nowadays due to the universalization of the use for smartphone, therefore the location determination technology has been placed in an important position. This study suggests a method that can provide the estimate of users' location by using PDR method and smartphone geomagnetic sensor data. This method assists the measure of enhancing the accuracy of indoor localization. Moreover, it is to study ways to provide the exact indoor layout for evacuating the workers in emergency such as fires and natural disasters.

RFID/USN을 적용한 항만 컨테이너 터미널의 효과적인 운영에 관한 방안이 모색되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 컨테이너에 무선 센서 노드가 하나씩 배치되어 있다는 가정하에 각 노드가 인접노드로부터 오는 전파의 세기 (RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator)값을 측정하여 서버로 전송하면 이를 근거로 항만 컨테이너 야적장(장치장)내에 적재된 컨테이너의 위치를 실시간으로 확인하는 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 RSSI값에 근거한 컨테이너 위치 결정 알고리즘을 제안하고 성능을 분석한 후 응용 프로그램으로 구현하여 컨테이너별 위치확인이 가능함을 확인하였다.

A novel technique has been proposed and related experimental works have been performed in order to detect the partial discharges and the location of the possible defects introduced into the Gas Insulated Switchgear. For this purpose, a prototype HY Pockels sensor has been developed and then employed in order to investigate its field applicability for finding the location of the defects using a 170kV GIS mock-up. Our proposed sensor enables us to measure the electric field variation due to the PD occurrence. In addition, the different PD patterns are observed, which might be dependant on the location and the distance of the sensor with respect to the PD source. Throughout this work, its linear response has been proved to be admissible as a function of the applied voltage. And also the position of the PD source might be distinguished by comparing the PD patterns.

Over a wireless sensor network (WSN), accurate localization of sensor nodes is an important factor in enhancing the association between location information and sensory data. There are many research works on the development of a localization algorithm over three-dimensional (3D) space. Recently, the complexity-reduced 3D trilateration localization approach (COLA), simplifying the 3D computational overhead to 2D trilateration, was proposed. The method provides proper accuracy of location, but it has a high computational cost. Considering practical applications over resource constrained devices, it is necessary to strike a balance between accuracy and computational cost. In this paper, we present a novel 3D localization method based on the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values of four anchor nodes, which are deployed in the initial setup process. This method provides accurate location estimation results with a reduced computational cost and a smaller number of anchor nodes.
