Abstract:
In this paper, we present the Modular Monitoring System (MMS), a low-power wireless architecture dedicated to Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) applications. Our solution features an easily customizable modular architecture, fulfilling the needs of many SHM applications. The MMS supports mesh network topology and offers excellent coverage and reliability, taking advantage of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) technology. In this preliminary work we show how the flexibility of our approach offers great advantages with respect to the current state-of-the-art systems dedicated to SHM.
