Book Description
The Environmental Noise Directive (END) requires that a five-year updating of noise maps is carried out to check and report on the changes that have occurred during the reference period. The updating process is usually achieved using a standardized approach consisting of collecting and processing information through acoustic models to produce the updated noise maps. This procedure is time consuming and costly, and has a significant impact on the financial statement of the authorities responsible for providing the maps. Furthermore, the END requires that easy-to-read noise maps are made available to the public to provide information on noise levels and the subsequent actions to be undertaken by local and central authorities to reduce noise impacts. In order to update the noise maps more easily and in a more effective way, it is convenient to design an integrated system incorporating real-time noise measurement and signal processing to identify and analyze the noise sources present in the mapping area (e.g., road traffic noise, leisure noise, etc.) as well as to automatically generate and present the corresponding noise maps. This wireless acoustic sensor network design requires transversal knowledge, from accurate hardware design for acoustic sensors to network structure design and management of the information with signal processing to identify the origin of the measured noise and graphical user interface application design to present the results to end users. This book is collection in which several views of methodology and technologies required for the development of an efficient wireless acoustic sensor network from the first stages of its design to the tests conducted during deployment, its final performance, and possible subsequent implications for authorities in terms of the definition of policies. Contributions include several LIFE and H2020 projects aimed at the design and implementation of intelligent acoustic sensor networks with a focus on the publication of good practices for the design and deployment of intelligent networks in other locations.

Book Description
Nanosensors for Smart Cities covers the fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of nanosensors for the creation of smart city infrastructures. Examples of major applications include logistics management, where nanosensors could be used in active transport tracking devices for smart tracking and tracing, and in agri-food productions, where nanosensors are used in nanochips for identity, and food inspection, and smart storage. This book is essential reading for researchers working in the field of advanced sensors technology, smart city technology and nanotechnology, and stakeholders involved in city management. Nanomaterials based sensors (nanosensors) can offer many advantages over their microcounterparts, including lower power consumption, high sensitivity, lower concentration of analytes, and smaller interaction distance between object and sensor. With the support of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, neural networks, and ambient-intelligence, sensor systems are becoming smarter. - Provides information on the fabrication and fundamental design concepts of nanosensors for intelligent systems - Explores how nanosensors are being used to better monitor and maintain infrastructure services, including street lighting, traffic management and pollution control - Assesses the challenges for creating nanomaterials-enhanced sensors for mass-market consumer products

Book Description
This new volume covers the fusion of IoT and wireless communication technology for real-life applications. It discusses the current developments, trends, and latest usage of technology in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and IoT, which offer improvement in many areas, including in enabling smart homes, in agricultural systems, for security systems, for university monitoring systems, and more. The volume also provides a theoretical analysis and discussion of the factors influencing smart sensing, exploring the state-of-the-art IoT elements that are designed to be analogous to WSNs. It looks at advancements in IoT systems along with a two-way usage with wireless sensor networks that span the gap between the physical and virtual worlds, leading to a hyperconnected society where devices are not only used to exchange data but also are smart devices with more capabilities. The chapters reveal how these technologies are used in smart homes, for intelligent sensor-based cognitive radio networks, for different techniques for data fusion, for the synthesis and fabrication of nanosensor devices for monitoring agricultural nutrient levels, and more. Furthermore, the fake user problems in WSNs are also investigated with a note on the current trends and the newer trends to come in near future.

Book Description
In recent years, MEMS have revolutionized the semiconductor industry, with sensors being a particularly buoyant sector. Smart MEMS and Sensor Systems presents readers with the means to understand, evaluate, appreciate and participate in the development of the field, from a unique systems perspective. The combination of MEMS and integrated intelligence has been put forward as a disruptive technology. The full potential of this technology is only evident when it is used to construct very large pervasive sensing systems. The book explores the many different technologies needed to build such systems and integrates knowledge from three different domains: MEMS technology, sensor system electronics and pervasive computing science. Throughout the book a top-down design perspective is taken, be it for the development of a single smart sensor or that of adaptive ad-hoc networks of millions of sensors. For experts in any of the domains named above the book provides the context for their MEMS based design work and an understanding of the role the other domains play. For the generalist (either in engineering or computing) or the technology manager the underpinning knowledge is provided, which can inform specialist decision making. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Markets and Applications (1,731 KB). Contents: Markets and Applications; Microfabrication Technologies; Sensor Electronics; Sensor Signal Enhancement; Case Study: Control Systems for Capacitive Inertial Sensors; Case Study: Adaptive Optics and Smart VLSI/MEMS Systems; Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Microsensors Identification and Compensation; Smart, Intelligent and Cogent MEMS Based Sensors; Sensor Arrays and Networks; Wireless and Ad Hoc Sensor Networks; Realising the Dream OCo A Case Study. Readership: Graduate students on courses in sensing, instrumentation, VLSI, and MEMS technology; researchers and academics dealing with smart sensor systems; practitioners who need to understand and apply the technology effectively."
