TY - JOUR A1 - Daum, Werner T1 - Sensing with optical fibres JF - IEC e-tech N2 - Starting from the first patent of a fibre optic sensor in 1967, fibre optic sensing has become a success story throughout the world. Today, fibre optic point sensors and continuous distributed fibre optics sensor systems allow the measurement of nearly all physical quantities and contribute to higher safety levels in many industrial sectors. Monitoring of pipelines, power cables, lightweight and civil engineering structures, and of ground movements are heading the hit list of applications. Standardization in this field is of paramount relevance and brings to light some of the challenges now faced by IEC SC (Subcommittee) 86C/WG (Working Group) 2: Fibre optic sensors.

A1 - Bartholmai, Matthias A1 - Daum, Werner T1 - Air-based multi-hop sensor network for the localization of persons JF - Procedia engineering N2 - In this work an air-based sensor network for the localization of persons at extensive areas is presented. The developed network consists of a localization device which the person is wearing (BodyGuard-System), a mobile relay station in the air, and a base station. All three parts communicate with the same radio chip. The BodyGuard-System is an inertial navigation system which was developed for localization in difficult environments with high accuracy and low measurement uncertainty. To increase the range of the system, a multi-hop network was built up. The measured data of the BodyGuard-System and the mobile relay station is visualized on a PC in the base station. This multi-hop network is necessary for example for fire department missions.
