Abstract :
DuraNode is a sensor node for real-time monitoring the health of civil engineering structures such as highway bridges and skyscrapers. It is specially designed to take civil engineers´ requirements into account. To meet their requirements DuraNode has a dual-microcontroller architecture sharing a FIFO memory. Evaluation shows that DuraNode has many distinguished features over other sensor nodes such as high power-efficiency, low jitter, and high network performance
