Abstract

In crowded subway stations indoor air quality (IAQ) is a key factor for ensuring the safety and health of passengers. Since physical variables that describing IAQ such as the concentration of particulate, $CO_2$, VOCs and biological agents need to be closely monitored and controlled in multiple locations within subway stations and in remote sites, concept of web-based monitoring and control network using both wireless and wired media needs to be implemented. Connecting remote wireless sensor network and device (LonWorks) networks to the IP network based on the concept of VDN can provide a powerful, integrated, distributed monitoring and control performance. In this study, performance of wireless and wired network in VDN for monitoring and control of IAQ in subway stations is evaluated. Specifically, delay induced in wireless and wired networks, and data transmission rate are evaluated. A key parameter is identified in assuring safety and health of passengers in subway stations.

복잡한 지하철 역사에서 공기질은 승객의 안전과 건강을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. $CO_2$, VOCs먼지, 미생물 등의 농도는 역사의 여러 지점에서뿐만 아니라 원격지점에서도 감시 및 제어가 가능해야 하기 때문에 유무선 네트워크를 사용한 웹기반 감시 및 제어가 필요하다. 가상디바이스 네트워크(VDN) 개념에 근거한 원격 무선센서 네트워크와 디바이스 네트워크(LonWorks)를 IP 네트워크에 연동시키면 매우 강력한 분산 감시 및 제어 성능을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 지하철역사내 공기질 감시 및 제어를 위한 유무선 네트워크의 성능평가를 실시하였다. 특히 유무선 네트워크의 데이터 전송과 지연특성을 평가하고 승객의 안전과 건강을 위한 핵심요소를 확인하였다.
