Developing software to facilitate higher-level data processing of data obtained from IoT devices, evaluating how well it meets specified requirements.
Their ability to communicate clearly and professionally regarding technical issues in an IoT network and security.
Use of evidence-based decisions when selecting technologies and software to provide communication with low-level firmware on embedded devices.
Demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge of the key concepts of IoT and its enabling technologies.
Developing software to facilitate higher-level data processing of data obtained from IoT devices, evaluating how well it meets specified requirements.
Designing and building (or simulate) a sensor network based on Internet of Things technology, considering potential professional and ethical issues associated with the network`s operation.
The Scenario
An airport management organisation is responsible for handling baggage of the passengers. Currently, there are many problems with baggage systems and complaints for baggage lost are increasing. The company wants to track the baggage in the airport from unloading until passenger receives it.
They decided to deploy IoT sensors with short-range communication in the airport, which can detect any baggage. The information about last reported location of baggage is sent to base station, which is connected to Internet. This information should be accessible to staff.
Your Task
You will work in groups (3-4 persons) and write a report of around 2000 words describing design and simulation of new system. It will include two parts
Part 1:
a. Overall Architecture and Design of the system.
b. Details of the design of the IOT system and justification of selected technologies and software to provide communication: including.
The HW platform/ Processor (s) The operating system and drivers.
The sensors and actuators.
The physical channel?-?BLE/Zigbee etc (Remember short range/ not to interfere with other).
The logical channel?-?What protocols the SW uses to transport these messages (HTTP / MQTT etc).
Network/connectivity topology.
Maintenance.
Data Storage.
Data Access.
Cost.
Part 2:
c. Your report must also include details of simulation of the given scenario to demonstration communication using appropriate simulation tool. You can include screenshots/results/ code etc. Requirement of the simulation are
i A static network of 50+ nodes with one or two base station nodes
ii Tracking of a moving node (luggage).
iii Transmission of approximate Current location (of moving node) to base station at periodic intervals.
d. Reflection on potential professional and ethical issues associated with the proposed system.
