In this paper, we propose a monitoring method of smartphone to integrate IoT technology to monitor the state of the vehicle for fault diagnosis of E-Mobility power converter. In China, EV regulations are being implemented to promote technological development and market changes in electric vehicles. To meet this trend, E-Mobility should study suitable monitoring technology. The OBD-II method used in existing automobiles is a wired / wireless communication method. In order to apply it to E-Mobility, additional interface and communication link are required. In this paper, we propose a technology to monitor the status information of power converter for E-Mobility by combining existing technology with IoT. This technology simplifies the existing network protocol and hardware interface, and confirms that the E-Mobility power converter and smartphone can be interworked for easy user monitoring. And we have done research to make high value product design from the aspect of function.

최근 건설 기술의 비약적인 발전으로, 국내외적으로 장대교량의 건설이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 장대교량들은 지속적인 안전성 관리가 필요하며 현재 국내 다수의 장대교량들에는 다양한 센서로 이루어진 구조건전성 모니터링 시스템이 설치, 운용되고 있다. 장대교량과 같은 대형 구조물의 물리적 상태를 정확하게 파악하기 위해서는 다수의 센서배치가 필요로 하지만, 이는 센서 자체의 비용뿐만 아니라 센서와 데이터 서버를 연결하는 케이블의 설치비용으로 인하여 상당히 제약을 받을 수 밖에 없다. 실례로 홍콩의 Tsing Ma 대교의 경우 350개의 센서를 설치하는데 약 8 백만불이 넘는 금액이 들었으며(Farrar 등, 2004), Celeby(2002)의 보고에 의하면 각 센서의 채널 당 케이블의 설치비용으로 약 5000불의 비용이 소모되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 센서와 이러한 불편함을 극복하기 위하여 자체 연산기능을 가지고 있는 스마트 무선 센서를 개발하고, 이를 해남과 진도를 잇는 연육교인 제 2 진도대교에 적용, 사장교의 구조 건전성을 저비용 및 높은 편의성으로 모니터링 하기 위한 테스트베드를 구축하였다.

Citizens' distrust of water pollution is very high in tap water that we routinely drink. In addition, water pollution accidents of tap water are difficult to predict and the risk is high, so real-time monitoring and management are needed. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce real-time water quality monitoring using the Internet of things(IoT). Residual chlorine is more persistent and economical than other disinfectants and it is easy to check residual effect, so it is mainly used as a disinfection index in waterworks. It can be monitored in real time by using IoT technology in order to secure the safety of tap water. In this study, we developed smart device for real-time water quality monitoring using amperometry sensor and analyzed its performance.

Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of most developing countries. In these countries, agriculture or farming is mostly done manually with little integration of machinery, intelligent systems and data monitoring. Irrigation is an essential process that directly influences crop production. The fluctuating amount of rainfall per year has led to the adoption of irrigation systems in most farms. The absence of smart sensors, monitoring methods and control, has led to low harvests and draining water sources. In this research paper, we introduce a 433 MHz Radio Frequency and 2G based Smart Irrigation Meter System and a water prepayment system for rural areas of Tanzania with no reliable internet coverage. Specifically, Ngurudoto area in Arusha region where it will be used as a case study for data collection. The proposed system is hybrid, comprising of both weather data (evapotranspiration) and soil moisture data. The architecture of the system has on-site weather measurement controllers, soil moisture sensors buried on the ground, water flow sensors, a solenoid valve, and a prepayment system. To achieve high precision in linear and nonlinear regression and to improve classification and prediction, this work cascades a Dynamic Regression Algorithm and Naïve Bayes algorithm.

This study proposes a novel method for in service evaluation of tension force of a prestressed 7-wire strand which is frequently employed for retrofitting bridge superstructure. The smart strand is made by replacing the straight king wire of the strand with an instrumented steel tube in which the FBG sensor is embedded. Since the strain of the smart strand can easily be measured using the sensor, it is possible to monitor tension force of the strand during the service. For the sake of demonstrating effectiveness of the proposed strand, we came up with a 7.0m long prototype with 2 FBG sensors, and it is applied as an external tendon to a 6.4m long and 0.6 high RC T-shaped beam. A loading-unloading test has been carried out, and estimated tension forces using the smart strand are compared with measured forces by load cell. The comparison showed that the proposed smart tendon is useful and accurate for monitering tension force of the prestressed tendon.

Recently, economic growth in the world has increased interest in healthy life, and the smart health care industry is growing. In the field of smart healthcare, wearable-type biometric information measurement technology has been highlighted due to the importance of IoT technology. The purpose of this study is to develop a wearable heart - rate monitoring system that can be applied to wearable health care and glove - type monitoring that enables convenient monitoring of heart rate during activity. For this purpose, a glove - type wearable health care system was developed and its performance was evaluated. Experimental results showed that the heartbeat monitoring was possible even in the presence of actual daily activities.

In the wave of the 4th industrial revolution, smart factory is required in many factories. However, small and mid-sized companies (SMEs) still have aging machines and are having difficulties in the data collection stage, which is the basis of smart factories. This study proposes a low cost monitoring method by using an open source based technology that extracts data from the image of the facility control panel without the need for modification of existing facilities. The proposed method was tested and evaluated for forging facilities in automobile parts manufacturing plants through prototyping. As a result of the evaluation, it was confirmed that low-cost facility monitoring is possible, and it will help SMEs build smart factories.

Recent changes in health care environment including aging population and prevalence of chronic disease encourage the adoption of new innovative technological solutions including wearable vital sensors, wireless networks, and smart phone. In this paper, we present an effective at-home lifestyle monitoring system that can be used for self-management and health intervention of patient himself in the Management-by-Exception perspectives. We implemented the filtering and queuing algorithms as a preprocessor of monitoring system to enhance efficiency of proposed system, and the effective UX design for self-management of patients themselves. The 94,467 actual clinic data was used to test the efficiency of the proposed system. As as a result, 64.8% of the incoming vital data was identified to be filtered out.
