Problem and Motivation

Problem and Motivation

• In Al-Hajj , retrieval of missing pilgrims by
  Civil Defense is very challenging .
• use of a wireless sensor network for retrieval of
  a missing pilgrims will be much easier.
• Each pilgrim has hand sensor device.
• to locate the position of pilgrims .
• to give the path of pilgrim.
• to monitor the health status.

Background
6
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)

• composed of a large set of nodes scattered in an
  environment, interacting with the physical world.
• Sensor node
• collect the specified data (e.g. temperature,
  movement) .
• transmits data from node to another, towards
  basestation(processes, analyses).
• Sensor device
• low processing speed
• Limited power
• Small memory
• Small Bandwidth

Localization

• Determining the location of the sensor node based
  on other sensor nodes with known ,fixed
  locations(beacon node) .
• Localization Algorithm
• Distances Estimation, where the target node
  measure and estimate its distances from the
  beacon nodes .
• E.g. Received Signal Strength(RSS)
• Position Estimation, the target node obtains its
  position based on the estimated beacon distances.
• E.g. Bounding Box(Min-max) algorithm

Tracking Applications of WSN

• Tracking
• trace the roaming paths of moving objects in the
  area in which sensors are deployed.
• Tracking vs. localization
• Localization involves determining the location of
  the sensor node based on other sensor nodes with
  known locations.
• Tracking mobile targets involves finding out the
  location of mobile targets based on wireless
  sensor nodes with known positions

TAPM Analysis and Design
TAPM Database
11
TAPM Analysis and Design
1.Pilgrim Monitoring
Connect to network
Pilgrim node will send its location periodically
receive current position of all pilgrims
2.Direct search
send query to the network
request send to pilgrim
receive current position of lost pilgrim
return current position
3.Indirect search
send query to database
TAPM Database
return last position of pilgrim last path
12
TAPM Analysis and Design
4.Change periodic update time of pilgrim location
send periodic time
request send to pilgrim
5.Display the rate of congestion
TAPM Database
sends query to the database
return rate of congestion on all area
13
TAPM Design

• TAPM Architecture
• Pilgrim node
• Detector nodes
• Basestation
• PC
• Database

14
TAPM Design

• Database design to store different types of
  information
• Personal information .
• Location information .
• Health status information .

15
TAPM Tools
NesC
16
TAPM Tools

• TinyOS
• a small, open-source, energy-efficient operating
  system.
• Network embedded systems C Programming languages
  (NesC).
• TelosB mote
• data collection via USB.
• low consumption of power. useful to
  track pilgrim.
• sense with light, temperature and humidity
  simulate temperature, pressure and heart rate
  of pilgrim .

17
TAPM Implementation and Testing
18
TAPM Implementation and Testing

• Two types of programming
• Mote programming
• Programming telosb mote in Cygwin environment
  .
• Java programming
• Takes data from the mote via the connector
  then uses the Java2D technology to draw.

19
TAPM Implementation and Testing

• Mote programming

BaseStation mote ID 0
Detectors mote ID 2-15
Pilgrim mote ID 21 22
20
TAPM Implementation and Testing
Send information to basestation
Send request
Send response
1-convert RSSI to distance 2-applay bounding
box algorithm
21
TAPM Implementation and Test

• Java programming
• Create menu that displays the following services
  
• Tracking Service.
• Direct Search Service/Update.
• Indirect Search Service/Search.
• Display rate of congestion Service.
• Settings Service.

22
Tracking Service
Java application shows the positions of pilgrims
in GUI
Pilgrims calculate their positions then send
result to BaseStation
23
Direct Search Service/Update
here Civil defense man enters ID of lost pilgrim
Current position of lost pilgrim
24
Indirect Search Service

• Pilgrim ID

Number of last location
All pilgrim information will display
Last location and path will display in the map
25
Settings Service
Here Civil defense man enters ID of pilgrim and
time period
Request Send to pilgrim
After time update
26
Statistics service
The rate of congestion will display according to
number of pilgrim in the holy place
Holy place name
27
Conclusion and Future works
28
Conclusion and Future works

• A WSN is a wireless network that use sensors to
  monitor physical environment
• TAPM depends on WSN to provide three major
  services which are
• Follow up the movement of pilgrims .
• Search for current location of specific pilgrim.
• Search for last location of specific pilgrim and
  the path that this pilgrim was moved through it.

29
Conclusions and Future works

• We suggest to use specific mote that used in
  medicine application to monitor the health status
  for pilgrims.
• Finally, we hope that our system will be deployed
  and the pilgrims will benefit from it.
