  1. Physical Components Description SkiScape Simulation Motivation Physical drawing of the Dartmouth Skiway is translated to a reachability graph, where trails, lodges and lifts compose the set of vertices • Skier Node • Mote-class devices embedded in ski equipment (e.g., ski boot heels) • Powered with rechargeable batteries • Sensors: temperature, accelerometer, microphone • Pole Node • Line powered, mounted on trail-side light poles • Gateway between Skiers and backhaul network • Sensors: webcam, microphone, radar Compared to traditional applications for sensor networks (environmental and industrial monitoring), recreational sports is a domain that will spark more general interest in wireless sensor network technology by bringing people into the loop. The SkiScape is part of our broader goal to push People-Centric Sensing. SkiScape Sensing Shane B. Eisenman† and Andrew T. Campbell‡†Electrical Engineering, Columbia University ‡Computer Science, Dartmouth College • Lift Node • Line-powered, mounted on lift structures • Gateway between Skiers and backhaul network • Sensors: temperature, accelerometer • Lodge Node • Line powered, mounted inside lodge structures • Gateway between Skiers and backhaul network • Sensors: temperature, photogate, webcam Attributes for each of the vertices are assigned. Trail: dimensions, difficulty, pole location. Lifts: speed, length. Lodge: dimensions, locations of Lodge Nodes. Attributes for each skier are assigned: skill level. Opportunistic Sensing and Collection Data Usage and Presentation Sparse deployment of mobile and static sensors give a more complete picture over time of the trail conditions. The mobility of Skier Nodes reduces the cost of data transport to the ultimate data sinks. Provide sensed data feedback to skiers about trail conditions. Set tx power for Node radios, set radio duty cycles, beacon rates. Time-stamped data allows for automatic speed policing of skiers (AutoPatrol feature). Skier nodes physically carry locally sensed data and may also mule the data of other Skiers for robustness or timeliness. Location-stamped data allows for FriendFinder feature. Initial Results: Skier Node / Pole Node Connectivity Data transfer between Skiers and gateway Nodes depends on radio duty cycle and beacon rate. Data archives allow for skiers to analyze long-term traces on their skiing habits. • - 300 Skiers • - 8 hour simulated time • Random placement of Pole • Nodes along trails’ edge at • average 300 ft spacing. Nominal values suggest 10 hours between battery recharge is possible, if operating all Skier node components at full duty cycle. Safety/emergency workers track skiers’ speed and location in case of accident Management monitors skier flow statistics to estimate wear and enact preventative trail maintenance (snow making) With support from the Institute for Security Technology Studies (ISTS) and Intel Corp.
