  • This study presents a method to monitor cable force of a long-span cable-stayed bridge using a smart piezoelectric sensor system. The following approaches are implemented in order to achieve the objective. Firstly, the method to utilize piezoelectric materials for the health monitoring of stay cables is presented. For strain measurement of a stay cable, a PZT-embedded smart skin is designed to overcome the difficulties of bonding PZT sensors directly on stay cables. Secondly, a piezoelectric strain monitoring system for stay cables is designed. For the operation of the sensor board, the Imote2 sensor platform is used to provide the computation, wireless communication and power supply units. The feasibility of the proposed monitoring system is then evaluated on a full-scale cable of a cable-stayed bridge.

  • Intelligent distribution equipment is inevitable to realize self-healing which is one of smart grid functions in distribution network. Therefore, most of distribution equipment have been developed with self diagnostic sensors. However, it is not effective to construct on-line monitoring system for underground distribution cable because of high cost and low sensitivity. Recently, optical fiber composite cable is being considered for communication and power delivery in order to cope with increasing communication in distribution network. This paper presents the design and performance assessment results of underground cable on-line monitoring system using DTS(Distributed Temperature Sensing) and optical fiber composite underground cable.

  • With the need for efficient maintenance technology to reduce maintenance costs for steel bridges, repainting robots are being developed to automate the work in narrow and poor bridge spaces. The repainting robot is equipped with a blasting module to remove paint layers and contaminants. This study developed a prototype monitoring module to be mounted on the repainting robot. The monitoring module analyzes the condition of the painting surface through a camera installed in the front, guides the direction of movement of the robot, and provides the operator with a video to check the working status after blasting through a camera installed in the back. Various image visibility enhancement technologies were applied to the monitoring module to overcome worksite challenges where incomplete lighting and dust occurs.

  • As the smartphone-based devices are diffused and developed rapidly, they provide the convenience to the users. The abovementioned sentence technologies are being used not only in the existing sensor and wireless network technology but also in the application services of the diverse fields application services such as smart appliance, smart car, smart health care, etc. and the new fusion paradigm from the industry is presented by undertaking the researches in diverse area by the enterprises and research institutions. However, the smart environment exposes its weaknesses in the mobile terminal area, existing wireless network and IT security area. In addition, due to new and variant ways of attack, not only the critical information are disclosed However also the financial damages occur. This paper proposed the protocol to perform the smartphone-based safe device monitoring and safe communication. The proposed protocol designed the management procedure of registration, identification, communication protocol and device update management protocol and the safety against the attack techniques such as the an-in-the-middle-attack, impersonation attack, credential threat, information leaks and privacy invasion was analyzed. It was observed that the proposed protocol showed the performance improved by approximately 52% in the communication process than the existing system.

  • Digital twin, which is evaluated as the core of smart factory advancement, is a technology that implements a digital replica in the virtual world with the same properties and functions of assets in the real world. Since the smart factory to which digital twin is applied can support services such as real-time production process monitoring, production process simulation, and predictive maintenance of facilities, it is expected to contribute to reducing production costs and improving productivity. AAS (Asset Administration Shell) is an essential technology for implementing digital twin and supports a method to digitally represent physical assets in real world. In this paper, we design AAS for manufacturing data gathering to be used in real-time CNC (Computer Numerical Control) monitoring system in operation by considering manufacturing facility in smart factory as assets.

  • Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an application area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which usually needs high data communication rate to transfer a large amount of monitoring data. Traditional sink node can only process data from one communication channel at the same time because of the single radio chip structure. The sink node constitutes a bottleneck for constructing a high data rate SHM application giving rise to a long data transfer time. Multi-channel communication has been proved to be an efficient method to improve the data throughput by enabling parallel transmissions among different frequency channels. This paper proposes an 8-radio integrated sink node design method based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and the time synchronization mechanism for the multi-channel network based on the proposed sink node. Three experiments have been performed to evaluate the data transfer ability of the developed multi-radio sink node and the performance of the time synchronization mechanism. A high data throughput of 1020Kbps of the developed sink node has been proved by experiments using IEEE.805.15.4.

  • Recently, school violence problem has increased serious. And this is not only an individual issue but also this is a social problem. Realistically, not only physical violence, cyber violence using the smartphone is very serious. And if the elementary school students are exposed to cyber violence, it becomes even more serious problem. Therefore, we proposed an Smart Monitoring app that protect the smart safety such as as a countermeasure against cyber violence to elementary school students. This Conversion Smart app can support grasp service for children using location based service on the smartphone when he will come to the home. And it can support another service that abuse or vulgar language in messenger. Grasps the degree of use of the language that is prohibited friendship in elementary school through this process, it can be derived. And we have future works that is the search rate and response time an inappropriate word on the proposed system.
