Analysis of Simulators for Designing Network Architecture in Wireless Sensor Network Applications2025-28-033811/06/2025
Recent advancements in energy efficient wireless communication protocols and low powered digital sensor technologies have led to the development of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications in diverse industries. These WSNs are generally designed using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee and Wi-Fi communication protocol depending on the range and reliability requirements of the application. Designing these WSN applications also depends on the following factors. First, the environment under which devices operate varies with the industries and products they are employed in. Second, the energy availability for these devices is limited so higher signal strength for transmission and retransmission reduces the lifetime of these nodes significantly and finally, the size of networks is increasing hence scheduling and routing of messages becomes critical as well. These factors make simulation for these applications essential for evaluating the performance of WSNs before physical deployment of

Road Simulation Techniques for Reproducing Off-Road Vehicle Behavior2025-32-003111/03/2025
A road simulator reproduction method was developed to reproduce the off-road conditions of utility vehicles in a laboratory setting. Off-road running behavior can be reproduced by considering the effects of inertial forces from jump landings owing to uneven terrain and slow-speed navigation. However, extremely low-frequency components and behaviors, including inertial forces from jumps, vehicle acceleration and deceleration, are difficult to reproduce with a normal road simulator in the limited test space of a laboratory. Therefore, it is common practice to intentionally remove input components below 1 Hz. Alternatively, inertial forces can be reproduced by adding a restraining device to the sprung mass of the vehicle along the wheel-axle inputs. Therefore, the former method excludes extremely low-frequency components, whereas the effects between actuators, which increase the test complexity and time required, should be canceled in the latter method. Furthermore, the restraining device
