Wireless Sensor Networks
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of distributed autonomous sensor nodes to cooperatively monitor/control physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration. This page describes our activities in the area of WSN.

WSN Applications
Automotive E-safety System
- responsible people:
- Soukup Jan, Krákora Jan
- short description:
- wireless vehicle to vehicle communication, which should improve the active safety on the roads. The main goal is to prevent the mass car accidents with the distributed warning system. In consequences of an obstacle detection (driver's reactions - hard breaking, fast trajectory change...) the function unit starts to transmit a warning signal which is then distributed to other nearby vehicles and forwarded by them to cars a few kilometers ahead the obstacle.

Parkinson's disease monitoring
- responsible people:
- Markovi Erik, Auersvald Martin, Kubias Jiří, Šprdlík Otakar, Jurík Petr, Jiří Trdlika
- short description:
- Wireless sensor motes placed on limbs (legs, arms) transmit periodically measured data to a central node for storing and evaluation. Once a day (or in predefined period) data from central node is downloaded to PC or PDA for analysis and computation of feedback in the form of brain stimulation or appropriate dose of medicine.
