Wireless sensing network systems is the key technology in advanced measurements under the conditions in large fields, with multiple parameters, and in dangerous or destructive environment. The system is designed as a remote, collaborative, cooperative system consisting of multiple sensors and measuring instruments, and communication devices. The aim of the sensing system laboratory is (1) to construct an autonomous sensing node, which integrates sensors, a micro-processor system and a communication device and (2) to realize a flexible, robust and dual communication sensing network. As concrete applications, the laboratory staff have been working on (1) forecasting landslides at hills around mountain areas, (2) monitoring the flow speed and direction of dangerous rivers, (3) monitoring the dynamical physiological parameters in daily life and (4) monitoring human flow in densely populated areas.
