Project Description


Project description:

A predestined use case for a Heat-Sensing-System in connection with a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) occurs, if firefighters are working in their fire protection suits inside burning buildings or near heat sources. This exerts extreme stress on the body's circular flow. In order to monitor the firefighter's health continuously, the body temperature has to be monitored permanently during a rescue and firefighting service (RFF). With the placement of several temperature sensors around the body for measuring the body temperature, instead of only one sensor, it is possible to detect dangerous heat sources nearby and localize them.
For the TUM PREP, the tasks and goals are:
• Implementation of an OpenThread-based wireless network to dedicated sensor-nodes.
• Literature research for and development of methods to make wireless network fail-safe in harsh environment.
• Extension of the network for multi-hopping capability between different clusters.
Possible optional task:
Research and development of an improved high-efficient localization functionality.
Outcome:
The desired result is a demonstrator that can be characterized metrologically in a test study.

Working hours per week planned:

35
