The system is environment monitoring service based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Users can know temperature, humidity, light, and CO2 level in real time. Excessive electricity consumption by lighting in the office can be saved and the quality of the office environment can become better by controlling lighting and CO2 level.

Designing a new sensor board is costly, especially for a production in a small quantity. By modularizing common functionalities, a large portion of the sensor board can be reused. In this work, we propose an Extension Board, a sensor board which is modularized into 3 parts. Power module, and MCU and RF module are shared, and only sensing module is redesigned for each sensor board. Diverse sensing modules are produced. The process was simple and inexpensive.

PEAKSAVE system is an energy monitoring service based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). A smartphone is an important point of a system. Users can understand the energy consumption of each electric device and lighting in real time. Responsive energy monitoring service can help in reducing the waste of energy, especially in shaving electric load in a peak time.

Vehicle tracking system is built for a container terminal. In the system, reference nodes are fixed at known locations. They provide reference locations to a mobile node, which is installed in a vehicle. Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is measured, and the measured data is gathered in a backend server. The backend server analyzes the data, and estimates the location of the mobile node. Filters are added to handle transient fluctuation in RF environment. SonnoOne mote is made to be used as a mobile node. It contains MG2455 chip from RadioPulse, which combines 8051 MCU and IEEE 802.15.4 radio. We expect the cost will be below $20, and the low cost will enable a large number of mobile nodes to be deployed in a container terminal.
