Application of Wireless Sensor Network for the Monitoring Systems of Vessels
Résumé
This chapter studies the feasibility of WSN on board ships. Several measurement campaigns are conducted on board a ferry-boat to verify the possibility of wireless communications between ship parts and to analyse the performance of WSN on board. These measurements aim at determining path loss models for typical shipboard environments and testing the possibility of wireless communication between adjacent rooms or adjacent decks. Using the results of these experiments, a WSN is tested on board the ferry. The results obtained from the measurement campaigns are then used to propose an architecture for a large-scale shipboard WSN. As the network test uses a limited number of nodes, the full monitoring system based on the proposed architecture is simulated using a network simulator.
