Beschreibung:
  • Fire fighters often work in dangerous environments, therefore protection is essential. Nowadays fire fighters are equipped with different types of devices, each of which supplies a specific functionality. This paper studies the possibility of integrating some of these functionalities into one intelligent glove, which has a build-in sensor node. Merging different functionalities into one device will reduce the number of equipments that a fire fighter must carry. The concept of networking the intelligent gloves using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is validated by doing application requirements analysis, transmission range experiments, and performance evaluations of a dedicated routing protocol. Results show that the IEEE 802.15.4 based WSN can be applied in fire fighting scenarios. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
