Title
Monitoring and Locating Oceanic Sailors Through Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract
A systematic oceanographic monitoring and management requires an effective marine tracking system. It helps the localization of different marine assets, their border control and in encountering emergency situations. Thus, a reliable marine tracking system is always required to ensure a safe marine environment for shippers, fishers, sailors and other marine assets. Nowadays due to the evolution in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology, their easy and inexpensive deployment can be seen in different fields such as agriculture, medical, industries and IoT. The implementation of WSN in the marine environment comes with various issues due to the complex behavior of the marine environment and thus affects the reliability of the system. In this paper, a WSN-based marine tracking protocol sailing is presented, which identifies the location of marine assets reliably through the genetic firefly (GEFIR) algorithm. The system comprises sensor nodes, sink nodes, server-client terminals and a base station. The protocol uses the application and contact layers to create a group of beacon nodes (boats) based on the geographical location to conserve energy and increase data reliability. GEFIR algorithm is implemented to give a precise and more convenient data to the WSN for the mariners. The results show a better performance for latency calculation through the WSN- and GEFIR-based sailing protocol. The system generates the alert to nodes (sailors) in case they are moving out from a specified region and sends their location for further communication.
