The growing performance of low-cost mobile devices makes it possible to perform advanced processing on mobile sensors. This creates the need to building a management system for groups of sensors actively analyzing signals fromhardware devices. In this paper, an architecture of a CouchDB-Based Sensor Management Platform is presented and its application for the problem of finding stolen cars is shown. Detailed performance tests of the platform as well as its application are provided.
The paper describes a system designed to manage and collect data from the network of heterogeneous sensors. It was implemented using Erlang OTP and CouchDB for maximum fault tolerance, scalability and ease of deployment. It is resistant to poor network quality, shows high tolerance for software errors and power failures, operates on flexible data model. Additionally, it is available to users through an Web application, which shows just how easy it is to use the server HTTP API to communicate with it. The whole platform was implemented and tested on variety of devices like PC, Mac, ARM-based embedded devices and Android tablets.
The Transsystem Company from Łańcut (Southern-Eastern Poland) is winner of Polish Quality Award for 2002 year in category of bigger firms. As the first in the country it obtained the certificates for the QS 9000-TES regulation (Tooling Equipment Supplement) and for VDA 6.4 standard (Productional means). But the firm possesses the ISO 9001:2000 certificate as well. The company is supplier of transportation systems for leading cars manufacturers in Europe, Asia and in Russia. This situation requires to be not only very good in proper production and installation, but to lead in solutions and methodologies of the work. This aspiration resulted in the significant internal changes, finally to introduce the Project Management orientation. And in that area the firm obtained the third place in international competition for 2002, what is considered as very big success. Some problems and internal challenges of these activities are in the article presented and described.
