| Abstract |
This research evaluates the serviceability of ZigBee device that provides a potential technology to realizing the ubiquitous computing by improving the productivity and effectiveness in construction and data acquisition. Literature review was conducted in various application areas such as bridge monitoring, slope management, road management, highway traffic control. In addition characteristics and challenges in various wireless technologies are described to identify their adoptability to construction environment. Among them, ZigBee technology was selected to introduce the functionality on hardware, network, and security. Then, questionnaire survey was implemented by four different group, construction engineers, students, hardware developers, and researchers to explore the success and failure factors of ZigBee technology in construction area. The results proposes a guideline of the applicability of ZigBee technology in the area of serviceability, application area, considerations, and future direction. This paper would provide valuable information for future researches and technology development in designing the wireless sensor network applications. |
