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.

Wireless sensor networks can be beneficial for monitoring ambient vibrations in historical buildings where the installation of traditionally wired system may be either difficult due to wiring difficulties or forbidden due to prohibitive legislation. In this paper, a novel wireless sensor network architecture is presented that is focusing on efficiently monitoring ambient vibrations in historical buildings. Traditional wired monitoring technologies are often difficult to be installed in historical buildings either to high costs for installing the wires or to prohibitive legislations. Employing a wireless system could be beneficial. However, as there is no wireless system of high resolution available in the market, an innovative network architecture is proposed that efficiently combines the benefits of both the wired and wireless systems. The problem of synchronization that this novel architecture introduces, is also discussed in this paper along with a possible solution.
