Regional temperature and humidity monitoring via mobile sensor nodes
Abstract
Due to
the latest developments in mobile and ubiquitous computing, it is feasible to
deploy environment monitoring sensors using a large number of mobile devices.
In this paper, we propose a system to continuously monitor a particular
region's temperature and humidity. The “server” is a center point (base
station) that collects the data. The sensor nodes deliver the data to the
server at a given schedule or on demand. The server is equipped with the data
visualization tools for conducting visual analytics on the collected sensor
data. The proposed system consists of three modules. The first module consists
of the mobile sensor devices to monitor the region's temperature and humidity.
General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and GPS module are integrated in the
nodes. Further, for continuous and responsive monitoring, there is a real-time
communication with these mobile sensor nodes. The second module consists of the
components to collect data from the sensor nodes and record the data in the
server database. Finally, the third module provides the data mining and data
visualization on the recorded data in server database. The proposed system is
implemented and tested on several bus routes in Istanbul, Turkey. The results show
that the proposed system could be beneficial in developing precise models for
the environment monitoring.
