- Abstract:
- This paper describes the architecture of a monitoring system developed for a Wireless Active Guardrail System (WAGS). A WAGS is a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) embedded on guardrails along the road infrastructure. The proposed WAGS architecture consists of four levels: Road, Concentrator, Storage and Monitoring. In this paper, an architecture overview of the proposedWAGS is carried out. Furthermore, a wide description of the last three levels is reported. At the road level, the measurements are performed by sensor nodes. Instead, at the Concentrator level, the Concentrator configures each sensor node and collects the measured values. The storage and the presentation of all the measurements have been realized through a multilayer server infrastructure written in Java language. In order to verify the communication protocol and the node configuration, several experimental tests have been performed and the obtained results reported.
