This paper reports a method to use a wireless sensor network deployed in the field to real-time monitor soil moisture, warning when the moisture level reaches a specific value, and wirelessly controlling an additional device (LED or water supply system, etc.). In addition, we report all processes related to wireless irrigation system, including field deployment of sensors, real-time monitoring using a smartphone, data calibration, and control of additional devices deployed in the field by smartphone. A commercially available open-source Internet of Things (IoT) platform, NodeMCU, was used, which was combined with a 9V battery, LED and soil humidity sensor to be integrated into a portable prototype. The IoT-based soil humidity sensor prototype deployed in the field was installed next to a tree for on-site demonstration for the measurement of soil humidity in real-time for about 30 hours, and the measured data was successfully transmitted to a smartphone via Wifi. The measurement data were automatically transmitted via e-mail in the form of a text file, stored on the web, followed by analyses and calibrations. The user can check the humidity of the soil real-time through a personal smartphone. When the humidity of a soil reached a specific value, an additional device, an LED device, placed in the field was successfully controlled through the smartphone. This LED can be easily replaced by other electronic devices such as water supplies, which can also be controlled by smartphones. These results show that farmers can not only monitor the condition of the field real-time through a sensor monitoring system manufactured simply at a low cost but also control additional devices such as irrigation facilities from a distance, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption and helping improve agricultural productivity.

Overhead contact systems (OCS) consist of contact and messenger wires, in which the contact wire supplies electric energy to the railway vehicle by contacting a pantograph. However, this mechanical contact is interrupted during frosts or temperatures below $0^{\circ}C$ in the winter. In these conditions, railway vehicle accidents can occur during operation because of the low energy efficiency that results from the increase in the arcing between the contact wire and pantograph. Therefore, the detection of frost or freezing temperatures is necessary to maintain the stable operation of these trains. In this study, we proposed the development of a frost or freezing condition monitoring system on the OCSs that utilizes wireless communication.

The seoul metropolitan subway has installed 8 lines and about 500 stations to transport 5 million passengers everyday. The underground air pollution level in the subway stations is very severe status, which is very harmful to the commutators and its personals. Although subway roles as such a massive and huge transportation system, the subway doesn't adapt yet any real-time air monitoring system. They have only some hand-held type detector equipments for monitoring air pollution. Therefore subway passengers are exposed to the harmful air pollution environment. The most harmful environmental parameters among the air pollution are known as the dust and sound noise dB level in the subway station. Because the dust is consisted of very small particles, we can't see them easily in dark condition on the platform, but it is very harmful. The monitoring system for air pollution is developed using embedded system attached with 6 different environmental sensors. This system monitors air pollution of dust sound noise, gas, temperature, humidity, inflammable gas, toxic gas in the subway ?station. The sensor unit of the ARM-CPU board and sensor transmits real time environmental data to the main server using Zigbee wireless communication module and TCP/IP network. The main control server receives and displays the real-time environmental data, and it send alarms to the personals when high level value.

U-Healthcare service is a real-time service using the vital signs which are continuously transferred from monitoring sensors attached to mobile patients under the wireless network environments. It should monitor the health condition of mobile patients everywhere at any time. In this paper, we have improved two features of the three layered mobile patient monitoring system with load balancing ability. First, the simulation process has been improved by allowing the number of related nodes to be changed. Secondly, we have modified S node to which queue is added to reduce the loss rate of collecting data from patients during the delay of S node process. And the data from the patient with high priority can be transferred to the server immediately through the filtering function. Furthermore, we have solved the problem of redundancy in sharing information among S nodes by differentiating process time to each S node. By performing a DEVS Java-based system simulation, we have verified the efficiency of this improved system.

This research focused on the development of wireless telemetry system that can monitor heart rates of multiple rehabilitation patients in real time without constraint. The whole system consists of the multiple patient's side devices (PSDs) and one central monitoring system (CMS). The PSD consists of a microphone, amplifier, filter, microcontroller, and RF (Radio Frequency) modem. In addition, the PSD was designed to be wearable and low power consumption. The CMS consists of an RF modem and general PC and it was designed to monitor heart rates from multiple patients simultaneously. The system warns an alarm signal when a patient's heart rate exceeds the pre-set range for each patient. This system can be useful to monitor the heart rate of exercising rehabilitation patients and control the patients condition and the exercising level.
