Motivation
In a technological context, with the strong entry of the
Internet of Things (Conner, M. 2010), a significant number
of equipment, software and technologies focused on
sensor networks are launched on the market, with this
opening a wide field for development of applications
(Libelium Comunicaciones, 2010) and implementation
of solutions, but the success of this will depend, among
other factors, on the ease with which the applications
can be built and it is at this point where there are still
pending tasks and this project aims to be a contribution
in this line.
Thesis contributions
This Post-Graduate work is a component of this
monitoring project, allowing the collection in a fast,
autonomous way, easy to deploy and with very low
energy requirements. All this is achieved using a
network of sensors in the structures as well as a
collection station mounted on a mobile.
The challenge of this thesis is mainly focused on the
implementation of sensor networks, both software and
hardware components.
The study of the most suitable structural sensors to
deploy in structures is outside the scope of this thesis,
for which other research and developments in the field
of structural engineering are used.
Future Research Lines
1. Protocols: Analyze the Structure and Functioning
of the protocols, emphasizing the weaknesses and
strengths in order to identify the best alternative to be
implemented.
2. Operating Systems: Operating systems specifically
designed for sensor nodes have been conceived to
efficiently manage their hardware resources and
facilitate programming. However, they often lack the
generality and high-level abstractions expected in this
abstraction layer. Therefore, operating systems do not
completely mask their execution model or the underlying
platform, making application programming strongly
coupled to the operating system and, consequently,
reducing portability (this topic was addressed in depth
in the Specialty Theses).
3. Application Development: Study how to implement
applications on sensor networks and study the
possibility of implementing services that contribute to
the development of these networks (topic Addressed in
the Specialty Thesis).
4. Stability of Sensor Networks: Study the behavior of
sensors subjected to hostile environments (deployment
in bridge and walkway structures).
