Project SAHSE (Safety Assurance in High Stress Environments) Designing Wireless Sensor Network based test bed for mines
Working as Research Associate (Nov,2013 to Aug, 2014) under the advisor Dr. Ijaz Haider Naqvi (PhD, INSA France), Dr. Saad Qaiser (PhD, MSU USA)
The aim of this project is to build a Wireless Sensor Network based test bed for the monitoring of harsh environments. The developed test bed will be used for monitoring the presence and/or concentration of toxic gases, monitoring structural integrity, water ingress, light concentration, temperature, pressure, humidity and various other environmental parameters to detect the collapse in case of accidents and localize the collapses as well as the personnel inside the harsh environment. My Research Areas 1- Outlier & Event Detection , Identification and Localization 2- Mobile Sensor Node Localization for localizing miner 3- Efficient MAC and Routing Protocols for harsh mine environments 4- Miner Fall Detection Demonstration Video Link |
Design and Implementation of a Wireless Sensor Mote and Network using Commercial Off-the-Shelf Components
Working as Research Associate (June,2013 to July, 2014) under the advisor Dr. Ijaz Haider Naqvi (PhD, INSA France)
Pakistan is a developing country with a growing economy and efficient industrial processes is one of the key factors that can play a major role in taking us further on this path. With rapid large scale industrialization, there arises a need for continuous monitoring and regular maintenance to ensure uninterrupted operation. The information about integrity of various machineries and materials and the parameters that govern appropriate operation of an industrial environment have to be known. Further, to obtain a holistic picture of the environment, monitoring also needs to be carried out over an entire area of interest. Therefore, a large number of sensors would be required in order to perform relatively accurate sensing. Current methods of manual monitoring lacks techniques for efficient and high fidelity operation with support for near real-time decision making. The project aims to develop a Wireless Sensor Network in the industry which would monitor the key stress points in the plant. The network of sensor nodes would measure various parameters of plant and the readings of these individual sensor nodes will be communicated to a centralized sink node. Only the sink node will have the ability to process or analyse the data, hence, all the intelligence would be residing in the sink. Different type of sensors can be used to monitor many parameters. Smoke or fire sensors will be used to sense any type of fire in the industry, so alarm can be generated automatically, hence making the life of the workers safe. Besides being used for monitoring purposes, the network may also control certain parameters based on the measured readings. We aim to build the sensor nodes indigenously in order to control the design parameters and tailor them for optimizations suitable for our environment. It may also allow us to make it cost effective and thus feasible monitoring and safety assurance solution for the local industries. Although the main goal is to design an application specific mote, we plan to design a general purpose DASH 7 compatible mote which can also be used for developing test bed wireless sensor networks by various research groups and may also lead to a small start-up.
