Title: | Wireless sensor networks for resources tracking at building construction sites | Authors: | Shen, X Chen, W Lu, M |
Issue Date: | 2008 | Source: | 清华大学学报. 自然科学版 (Journal of Tsinghua University. Science and technology), Oct. 2008, v. 13, no. s1, p. 78-83 | Abstract: | We evaluate the technical feasibility of applying emerging wireless network technologies for resources tracking at building construction sites. We first identify practical constraints in solving resource-tracking problems in an enclosed or partially covered environment. We then compare pros and cons of available localization principles and examine the latest wireless communication technologies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and ZigBee. We find that the ZigBee-based wireless sensor network and the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) localization method are most promising to tackle on-site tracking of construction resources. Finally, we anticipate some application challenges associated with deploying wireless sensor networks for resources tracking in the practical context.
