“…Several ship management technologies directed at enhancing the effectiveness and safety of ships have been developed and proposed by many researchers, e.g., Paik et al [86,87], who performed research based on the employment of wireless sensor networks for full-scale in-ship application [86]. Their research examined a wireless sensor network (WSN) used to communicate in the ship environment.…”

The development of human civilization over the last decade has reached a landmark as Industry 4.0 has been widely introduced. Several aspects of industry and manufacturing activities are changing due to the Internet of Things (IoT), location detection technologies, and advanced human–machine interfaces. To enact industrial affairs under those specifications, a sensor is required to transform physical events into numerical information. The use of sensors in marine applications also appears in research and studies, in which the sensor is used for both monitoring the phenomena of a designated subject and data acquisition. Achievements in quantifying complex phenomena in critical maritime designs are fascinating subjects to discuss regarding their development and current states, which may be reliable references for further research on developing sensors and related measurement analysis tools in marine, shipbuilding, and shipping fields. This comprehensive review covers several discussion topics, including the origins and development of sensor technology, applied sensor engineering in logistic and shipping activities, the hydrodynamic characterization of designed hulls, the monitoring of advanced machinery performance, Arctic-based field observations, the detection of vibration-based damage to offshore structures, corrosion control and monitoring, and the measurement of explosions on critical maritime infrastructures.

“…Some authors have considered static wireless networks as an alternative to wired networks in finished vessels. For example, Paik et al [ 21 ] and Pilsak et al [ 22 ] proposed wireless sensor networks for communication with the main engine rooms of ships in active service, focusing on available technologies, and Zaharia et al [ 23 ] proposed Zigbee for in-deck communications. They also described some models to estimate path loss in different ship locations.…”

Large-scale wireless sensor networks have not achieved market impact, so far. Nevertheless, this technology may be applied successfully to small-scale niche markets. Shipyards are hazardous working environments with many potential risks to worker safety. Toxic gases generated in soldering processes in enclosed spaces (e.g., cargo holds) are one such risk. The dynamic environment of a ship under construction makes it very difficult to plan gas detection fixed infrastructures connected to external monitoring stations via wired links. While portable devices with gas level indicators exist, they require workers to monitor measurements, often in situations where they are focused on other tasks for relatively long periods. In this work, we present a wireless multihop remote gas monitoring system for shipyard environments that has been tested in a real ship under construction. Using this system, we validate IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee wireless networks as a suitable technology to connect gas detectors to control stations outside the ships. These networks have the added benefit that they reconfigure themselves dynamically in case of network failure or redeployment, for example when a relay is moved to a new location. Performance measurements include round trip time (which determines the alert response time for safety teams) and link quality indicator and packet error rate (which determine communication robustness).

“…Relevant literature reports also indicate that within a closed space, the application that uses a wireless communication network to replace the traditional wired link to connect the gas sensors of various parts and transmits the data collected by the sensor to the monitoring center through the wireless network to construct a closed-space toxic and harmful gas monitoring and sensing system is relatively successful. Paik et al [21], Pilsak et al [22], and Zaharia et al [23] respectively put forward the idea of using WiFi, ZigBee, and Bluetooth wireless communication technology to realize the construction of wireless network in hull space. Based on the above assumption, Kdouh et al [24] and Park et al [25] carried out a lot of communication performance tests in a hull environment.…”

In recent years, fire accidents in petrochemical plant areas and dangerous goods storage ports in China have shown a trend of frequent occurrence. Toxic and harmful gases are diffused in the scenes of these accidents, which causes great difficulties for fire fighting and rescue operations of fire fighting forces, and consequently, casualties of firefighters often occur. In order to ensure the safety of firefighters in such places, this paper designs a monitoring system of toxic and harmful gases specially used in fire fighting and rescue sites of fire forces, and establishes the transmission network, monitoring terminal and data processing software of the monitoring system of toxic and harmful gases, establishing the danger model of the monitoring area of toxic and harmful gas-monitoring terminal, and the danger model of fire fighters’ working area, fusing the field toxic and harmful gas data, terminal positioning data, and field environmental data, designing the data structure of the input data set and the network structure of the RNN cyclic neural network model, and realizing the dynamic early warning of toxic and harmful gases on site.
