Wireless sensor network overcomes the limitations of conventional tethered measurement techniques. It can be used in many situations where conventional tethered sensors cannot be employed due to the safety requirements, space limitation, and wiring cost. Thus it can further expand testing area, and improve measurement performance. A vibration monitoring system is developed based on wireless sensor network. Its architecture and principle are introduced, and its performance is validated by signal generator simulation and a gearbox vibration test.

The oil export industry dominates the economy of the world and it depends heavily on oil pipelines. Exposed pipelines are prone to malfunctioning due to intentional or unintentional tampering and vandalism, which is usually caused by damaging form of either knocking or drilling. Continuous structure health monitoring (SHM) of pipelines using conventional methods is difficult and expensive due to the extensive length of the pipelines and the harsh environment. Recent development in printed electronic circuits and microcontrollers open new possibilities in the field of monitoring and have proven their practicality in vibration monitoring process. This paper presents a monitoring system for pipeline heal of the structure based on the wireless sensor network. The system senses the pipeline vibration and relays the data to a base station for the procession. A WSN consists of three nodes is designed and implemented. Each node is built around 32-bit ARM core microcontroller, and equipped with an accelerometer to measure the pipeline vibration. The measurements of each sensor are collected wirelessly through ZigBee protocol to a base station. Results on a 2 m pipeline sample show the ability of the system to precisely detect damaging events e.g. knocking and drilling to the pipeline.

To improve the efficiency of the remote monitoring system for logistics transportation, we proposed a remote monitoring system based on wireless sensor network and GPRS communication. The system can collect information from the wireless sensor network and transmit the information to the ZigBee interpreter. The monitoring system mainly includes the following parts: Car terminal, GPRS transmission network and monitoring center. Car terminal mainly consists by the Zigbee microcontroller and peripherals, wireless sensor nodes, RFID reader, GPRS wireless communication module composed of a micro-wireless monitoring network. The information collected by the sensor communicates through the GPRS and the monitoring center on the network coordinator, sends the collected information to the monitoring center, and the monitoring center realizes the information of the logistics vehicle in real time. The system has high applicability, meets the design requirements in the real-time acquisition and information transmission of the information of the logistics transport vehicles and goods, and realizes the function of remote monitoring.
