Abstract(s)

Some applications of Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to the automobile are identified, and the use of MICAz motes operating at 2.4GHz is considered together with TinyOS support. These WSNs are being conceived in order to measure, process and supply to the user diverse types of information during an automobile journey. Examples are acceleration and fuel consumption, identification of incorrect tire pressure, verification of illumination, and evaluation of the vital signals of the driver. A survey on WSNs concepts is presented, and the wireless sensor network itself (transmitter/receiver/control board) is developed. Aspects of the definition of the architecture and the choice/implementation of the protocols are identified. Security aspects are also addressed.
