ABSTRACT
Vehicle tracking system is built for a container terminal. In the system, reference nodes are fixed at known locations. They provide reference locations to a mobile node, which is installed in a vehicle. Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is measured, and the measured data is gathered in a backend server. The backend server analyzes the data, and estimates the location of the mobile node. Filters are added to handle transient fluctuation in RF environment. SonnoOne mote is made to be used as a mobile node. It contains MG2455 chip from RadioPulse, which combines 8051 MCU and IEEE 802.15.4 radio. We expect the cost will be below $20, and the low cost will enable a large number of mobile nodes to be deployed in a container terminal.

Simultaneous localization, calibration, and tracking in an ad hoc sensor network
IPSN '06: Proceedings of the 5th international conference on Information processing in sensor networksWe introduce Simultaneous Localization and Tracking, called SLAT, the problem of tracking a target in a sensor network while simultaneously localizing and calibrating the nodes of the network. Our proposed solution, LaSLAT, is a Bayesian filter that ...
Monte Carlo localization of wireless sensor networks with a single mobile beacon
One of the most important tasks in sensor networks is to determine the physical location of sensory nodes as they may not all be equipped with GPS receivers. In this paper we propose a localization method for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using a ...
An Optimization Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks Localization Using Multiplier Method
CSO '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Third International Joint Conference on Computational Science and Optimization - Volume 02One of the main problems facing sensor localization in wireless communication systems is accuracy. In this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm for wireless sensor networks localization based on time-of-arrival (TOA) technique. The optimal points ...
