(eds.), The 3rd International Water Safety Symposium. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 91, pp. 286-290. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.This study proposes a common module that can integrate multiple sources of situational information for coastal safety monitoring based on a cyber physical system (CPS). Existing situational measurement devices transmit information using different methods, which leads to considerably difficulty in system operations. This study proposes a system that can monitor coastal safety using a common module that integrates signals transmitted from multiple measurement devices. A protocol for sending and receiving packets between the measurement devices and the module is designed. The packets transmitted by the network are saved and managed through an integrated monitoring system, and information is provided to various users, such as safety personnel. The results of this study can be utilized in application programs for beach monitoring, risk warnings, risk prediction, among others.
