Prototyping low-cost automatic weather stations for natural disaster monitoring

Design and implementation of a real-time onboard system for a stratospheric balloon mission using commercial off-the-self components and a model-based approach

“…The obtained MSE for TMU had a value of 0.1 • C, which is better than in an environmental monitoring station with RMSE values of 2.15 [22]. The obtained MSE also surpassed the results of a weather station that obtained an MSE of 0.97 • C for air temperature [23]. In addition, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.4 • C for temperatures within 11-20 km is obtained for a high-altitude balloon application [20], which is above the MAE of 0.2 • C for the TMU.…”

“…Then, it is necessary to compare HERCCULES with COTS-based applications that quantitatively evaluate similar parameters. The Table 8 includes similar COTS-based research works including different types of applications for measuring environmental conditions, such as a high-altitude balloon [20], an UAV [21], or ground-based weather stations [22,23]. Furthermore, a broader perspective of the architectural solutions was obtained by considering other systems related to the space sector such as the control software system for an instrument deployed in the International Space Station (ISS) [24].…”

“…Firstly, regarding the V&V methodology, the presented work adopted the Analysis (that includes Similarity and Comparison), Inspection, Review-of-design, and Test as recommended by the ECSS-E-ST-10-02C standard. Considering that Comparison is a subset of Analysis, a large part of the related works only use verification by Comparison [21][22][23] because they are low criticality systems, only one related work uses Analysis which is proper for medium criticality systems [20], and in those critical developments used in space applications for onboard instruments [24] the Analysis, Review-of-design and Test methods are adopted using complementary tools, such as Codacy. Based on these works, it can be concluded that the V&V methodology used in HERCCULES is more oriented to critical space systems, and although the system is not critical as such, a validation was carried out with high quality considerations using the SourceMonitor static code analyzer and additional tools that supported automated testing such as g-test.…”

Application of a Smart IoT (Internet of Things) Platform Providing Traffic Safety Information for Marine Bridges Under Strong Winds

“…In the service platform, an algorithm was applied to predict the wind condition of the marine bridge section by linking the wind speed information collected from the bridge with the surrounding information through linkage with the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). By additionally expressing the collected wind condition and vibration information using the VMS (Variable Message Service) installed in the bridge, it was intended to implement a bridge traffic management function that can support the safe operation of drivers (Gabriel et al, 2022;Jeong, Lee, and Sim, 2019;Khan, Gupta, and Gupta, 2020;Rui et al, 2021). In addition, the measurement data of the existing bridge monitoring system was reflected in the platform design that can be used.…”

Design and implementation of a micrometeorological weather station for ground-based swarm environments

“…In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for accurate and reliable meteorological data in various disciplines such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster management. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Ground-based weather stations play a crucial role in collecting and analyzing meteorological data to provide valuable insights and support decision-making processes. 7 However, traditional weather stations often have limitations in terms of scalability, mobility and data accessibility, especially in swarm environments where multiple stations need to work together to cover a larger area.…”
