Abstract
Due to the safety and comfort problems of subway stations, we propose a system that can monitor environmental information by constructing a fundamental information monitoring platform based on a WSN. The basic idea is to deploy a large number of sensor nodes with the ability of sensing, computing and communicating in the station to form a wireless network and the information collected by different nodes will be sent in real time to the backend database. Then, we can acquire all kinds of monitoring information from the platform after a series of processing steps conducted by the platform. If any abnormal data ware found, the corrective measures will be taken immediately. The main features of our proposed platform are the design of the system’s functional structure and the design of the software and hardware modules. Also, we propose to incorporate a dormancy mechanism to save energy.
