BSTRACT
The use of sensors is highly extended in a lot of different environments and
applications. Each situation needs a different solution and for that reason the use of a
scalable and easily manageable sensor network is a must while applications are getting
more and more complex. In a lot of cases the perfect solution is the one based on a
wireless sensor network; it gives flexibility, ease of management of the system and
expandability. But in order to facilitate interoperability between different sensor
manufacturers and to give a transparent and independent interface, the use of a standard
is mandatory. This standard system is provided by the IEEE 1451 family of standard
protocols. In this project a Bluetooth based sensor network has been implemented using
the IEEE 1451 family of standard protocols. The goal of this network is to help on data
acquisition from a number of sensors within a car, in order to monitor the wellness of the
passengers and improve the safety and comfort.
