Motion sensor applications in smart buildings

Abstract

Among the many kinds of applications of today’s sensor technology, motion detection play a vital role especially for the safety of human being at their day today rituals. In smart buildings, different types of motion sensors are used to monitor parameters which are critical for the safety of its occupants, equipment and also the behavior of any structural changes against environmental changes. Accelerometers which are connected to the structure of those buildings, for example can capture the vibrations caused by vehicles on highways nearby, trains passing by, etc., and can be programmed to take necessary preventive actions to protect the occupants, equipment inside the building and the structure. Vibration free platforms like the one presented in this paper, will be a suitable solution. They can also be used to get a feedback of how the buildings were behaved in the disastrous situations
