Ascent: Airliner Sensor and Cabin Environment Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a wireless sensor network prototype with the use of reconfigurable hardware for airliner cabin environment research. Commercial airplane passengers and crews breathe a mixture of outside and re-circulated air, similar to many homes and offices. But the cabin environment is unique, due to the proximity of the passengers, the need for cabin pressurization, the low humidity, and the potential for exposure to common contaminants, all in an enclosed structure. This paper describes the use of an embedded processor core, reconfigurable hardware, and microcontroller in designing a scalable wireless network sensor system backbone for monitoring the aircraft cabin.

Influence of cabin conditions on placement and response of contaminant detection sensors in a commercial aircraft.
Potential causalities due to airborne disease transmission and risk of chem-bio terrorism in commercial airliner cabins can be reduced by fast responses. Fast responses are only possible by using sensors at appropriate locations in the cabins. Cost, size and weight factors restrict the number of sensors that could be installed inside a cabin. Since release locations and seating patterns of pass...
متن کاملInvestigation on the performance of airliner cabin air filter throughout the lifetime usage
The supply air from the airliner ventilation system is a mixture of outside air and recirculated air that passes through a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. The effectiveness of two commercial-available airliner cabin air filters were investigated under the laboratory-based measurement due to the practical restriction of airliner cabin filter test during usage. The filtration effic...
متن کاملA one-dimensional analytical model for airborne contaminant transport in airliner cabins.
UNLABELLED Quick information on airborne infectious disease transmission in airliner cabins is essential to reduce the risk of infection of passengers and crew members. This investigation proposed a one-dimensional analytical model that can predict the longitudinal transmission of airborne contaminants or disease viruses inside an airliner cabin. The model considered both diffusive and convecti...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Airflow and Contaminant Transport in an Airliner Cabin Mockup
The study of airflow and contaminant transport in airliner cabins is very important for creating a comfortable and healthy environment. This paper shows the results of such a study by conducting experimental measurements and numerical simulations of airflow and contaminant transport in a section of half occupied, twin-aisle cabin mockup. The air velocity and air temperature were measured by ult...
