Abstract. In this study, basic experiments regarding the wireless sensor network were conducted on a 3,000-ton-class training ship as the first step in applying the ubiquitous technology to a real ship. Various application fields of the technology in terms of the provision of safety and convenience on a ship would be extracted through these experiments. To efficiently adopt the ubiquitous technology for ship application, it is necessary to identify the stateof-the-art ubiquitous technology and to prepare countermeasures against the harsh environment of a ship. Especially, the characteristics of the wireless sensor network were investigated at the test bed ashore as well as on a real ship to figure out the complementary items before full-scale ship application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
