Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2020, Volume 21, Issue 8,   Pages 1119-1266 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1900242

Abstract: Smartphone, as a smart device with multiple built-in sensors, can be used for collecting information (e.g., vibration and location). In this paper, we propose an approach for using the smartphone as a sensing platform to obtain real-time data on vehicle acceleration, velocity, and location through the development of the corresponding application software and thereby achieve the green concept based monitoring of the track condition during rail transit. Field tests are conducted to verify the accuracy of in terms of the obtained data’s standard deviation (SD), Sperling index (SI), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-2631 weighted acceleration index (WAI). A vehicle-positioning method, together with the coordinate alignment algorithm for a Global Positioning System (GPS) free tunnel environment, is proposed. Using the time-domain integration method, the relationship between the longitudinal acceleration of a vehicle and the location is established, and the distance between adjacent stations of the is calculated and compared with the actual values. The effectiveness of the method is verified, and it is confirmed that this approach can be used in the GPS-free tunnel environment. It is also found that using the proposed vehicle-positioning method, the integral error of displacement of a single section can be controlled to within 5%. This study can make full use of and offer a smart and eco-friendly approach for human life in the field of intelligent transportation systems.

An Area Changeable Capacitive Micro-machined Accelerometer

Li Baoqing,Lu Deren,Wang Weiyuan

Strategic Study of CAE 2000, Volume 2, Issue 2,   Pages 36-40

Abstract:

In this paper, a newly developed accelerometer based on the principle of area changeable capacitance is presented at the first time. The movable mass is designed as many bars connected together and suspended by elastic beams. Two comb-shaped fixed electrodes with their fingers side by side are alternately placed under the mass. The mass moves in the direction parallel with the substrate plane under the effect of acceleration. The movable mass and fixed electrodes compose a differential capacitor unit. It is concluded by theoretical analysis that the signal of the acceleration is only proportionally related to the area between movable mass and fixed electrodes but not related to the gap between them. The parasitic capacitance Cp between the mass and fixed electrodes and CB induced by boundary effect both lower the sensitivity of the accelerometer by about 20 % , and lead to a vertical effect on accelerometer that could be ignored if compared with the sensitivity. The quasi-LIGA technology with Ni as structure layer and Cu as sacrificial layer is used to fabricate the sensor chips. The fixed electrodes are fabricated on a glass substrate. A Cu sacrificial layer used to determine the gap between the mass and fixed electrodes is then electroplated with the fixed electrodes layer. Finally, the movable Ni mass is also electroplated with the Cu layer and is released after selective etch of the Cu layer. After packaging in IC ceramic die under atmosphere, the accelerometer is put on avibrator to be tested under a frequency of 25 Hz. The output signal is connected to the interface circuit with electric wires. The experimental results show that the accelerometer has typical sensitivity of 58.1 mV/ (m·s-2) and non-linearity of 4% FS in operating range of 20 m/s2. The obtained non-linearity is not ideal and the reason is discussed based on experimental conditions

Micro-cantilever Electric Field Sensor Driven by Electrostatic Force Article

Zhifei Han, Jun Hu, Licheng Li, Jinliang He

Engineering 2023, Volume 24, Issue 5,   Pages 184-191 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2022.06.017

Abstract:

With the development of smart grids and the energy Internet, large-scale monitoring of voltage and electric field data is required in all aspects of power systems, which requires the arrangement of various advanced sensors. Measurement of the electric field can replace traditional voltage transformers to realize the non-contact measurement of voltage, which reduces the insulation cost and the difficulty of operation and maintenance. Electric field measurement can also be applied in various other areas, such as equipment fault diagnosis, lightning warning, and electromagnetic environment measurement. Traditional electric field measurement devices, such as field mills, are bulky and costly, so they cannot be arranged flexibly on a large scale. In this paper, we present an electrostatically actuated micro-electric field sensor (E-sensor) with a piezoresistive sensing structure. The presented E-sensor is fabricated into a four-cantilever structure using microfabrication technology. The cantilevers are displaced under the drive of the electrostatic force, and the generated strain is transformed into measurable signals through piezoresistive materials. The presented E-sensor has the advantages of small size, low cost, low power consumption, and easy mass production. Moreover, the E-sensor has a high signal-to-noise ratio, high resolution, and wide measuring range. The experimental results show that the E-sensor has a linear electric field measurement range from 1.1 to 1100 kV·m−1 with an alternating current (AC) resolution of up to 112 V·m−1·Hz−1/2 and a cut-off frequency of 496 Hz, making it suitable for most applications in smart grids and the energy Internet.

Energy-efficient localization and target tracking via underwater mobile sensor networks None

Hua-yan CHEN, Mei-qin LIU, Sen-lin ZHANG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2018, Volume 19, Issue 8,   Pages 999-1012 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1700598

Abstract: Underwater mobile sensor networks (UMSNs) with free-floating sensors are more suitable for understanding the immense underwater environment. Target tracking, whose performance depends on sensor localization accuracy, is one of the broad applications of UMSNs. However, in UMSNs, sensors move with environmental forces, so their positions change continuously, which poses a challenge on the accuracy of sensor localization and target tracking. We propose a high-accuracy localization with mobility prediction (HLMP) algorithm to acquire relatively accurate sensor location estimates. The HLMP algorithm exploits sensor mobility characteristics and the multistep Levinson-Durbin algorithm to predict future positions. Furthermore, we present a simultaneous localization and target tracking (SLAT) algorithm to update sensor locations based on measurements during the process of target tracking. Simulation results demonstrate that the HLMP algorithm can improve localization accuracy significantly with low energy consumption and that the SLAT algorithm can further decrease the sensor localization error. In addition, results prove that a better localization accuracy will synchronously improve the target tracking performance.

Xu Nan,Sun Yamin,Yu Jiming,Wang Hua

Strategic Study of CAE 2011, Volume 13, Issue 3,   Pages 45-49

Abstract:

We proposed a cross-layer QoS routing algorithm which is metric-based cooperative relay initiative forwarding(MCRICQR). Nodes form a metric according to energy, channel, congestion and distance to sink. The node with maximal metric forwards or relays or leapfrogs the data in term of it's own states. Simulation results show that MCRICQR can prolong the lifetime of network and guarantee the required QoS. It also can transmit data in time and load balance which improve the reliability and energy efficiency and throughput of WSN(wireless sensor network).

Rapid thermal sensors with high resolution based on an adaptive dual-comb system Special Feature on Precision Measurement and Inst

Yi-zheng GUO, Ming YAN, Qiang HAO, Kang-wen YANG, Xu-ling SHEN, He-ping ZENG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2019, Volume 20, Issue 5,   Pages 674-684 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1800347

Abstract:

We report a high-resolution rapid thermal sensing based on adaptive dual comb spectroscopy interrogated with a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PFBG). In comparison with traditional dual-comb systems, adaptive dual-comb spectroscopy is extremely simplified by removing the requirement of strict phase-locking feedback loops from the dual-comb configuration. Instead, two free-running fiber lasers are adopted as the light sources. Because of good compensation of fast instabilities with adaptive techniques, the optical response of the PFBG is precisely characterized through a fast Fourier transform of the interferograms in the time domain. Single-shot acquisition can be accomplished rapidly within tens of milliseconds at a spectral resolution of 0.1 pm, corresponding to a thermal measurement resolution of 0.01 °C. The optical spectral bandwidth of the measurement also exceeds 14 nm, which indicates a large dynamic temperature range. It shows great potential for thermal sensing in practical outdoor applications with a loose self-control scheme in the adaptive dual-comb system.

Enhanced Autonomous Exploration and Mapping of an Unknown Environment with the Fusion of Dual RGB-D Sensors Article

Ningbo Yu, Shirong Wang

Engineering 2019, Volume 5, Issue 1,   Pages 164-172 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2018.11.014

Abstract:

The autonomous exploration and mapping of an unknown environment is useful in a wide range of applications and thus holds great significance. Existing methods mostly use range sensors to generate two-dimensional (2D) grid maps. Red/green/blue-depth (RGB-D) sensors provide both color and depth information on the environment, thereby enabling the generation of a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud map that is intuitive for human perception. In this paper, we present a systematic approach with dual RGB-D sensors to achieve the autonomous exploration and mapping of an unknown indoor environment. With the synchronized and processed RGB-D data, location points were generated and a 3D point cloud map and 2D grid map were incrementally built. Next, the exploration was modeled as a partially observable Markov decision process. Partial map simulation and global frontier search methods were combined for autonomous exploration, and dynamic action constraints were utilized in motion control. In this way, the local optimum can be avoided and the exploration efficacy can be ensured. Experiments with single connected and multi-branched regions demonstrated the high robustness, efficiency, and superiority of the developed system and methods.
