Abstract

Structural health monitoring in automatic fashion is one of the key challenges of smart cities. Deployment of wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered as a possible solution. WSN are networks that monitor various parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, stress, and humidity. They find a wide range of applications in environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring, and structural monitoring. In this research, a WSN simulation framework is developed so that it could be integrated with a hardware prototype to monitor the structural health of bridges, monuments, and skyscrapers. The simulation framework is developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The data integrity of the simulation framework is analyzed using cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and transmission error rate calculator.
