CORNERS: An Architecture for Correlation of Networked Environmental
Sensors Wireless
sensors are used to monitor a number of single environmental
factors, such as tremors associated with earthquakes, beach
erosion, animal habitats and civil infrastructures, such
as bridges and roads. In isolation, the data gathered has
no importance.
Using the Kean University campus and along with researchers
in the Geology and Meteorology
Department, an urban environment such as a street corner,
roof top, or public open space is used as a site for multiple
wireless sensors, which send data back to MMNetLab
via a mesh network, where the environmental data is
correlated and contextually analyzed. Research outcomes
include urban pollution patterns, and real-time alerts.
