Sensors Compatibility Requirements for Location Based Services

Compatibility requirements are among the most important factors for selecting sensors to be used in Location Based Service (LBS) systems, especially in the Risk Reduction Management field. Sensors’ networks use several protocols to send its signals to system remote servers. Internet protocols-based sensors are widely used. While, there is no framework to connect dialup sensors with LBS’ remote servers. In order to improve the sensors’ compatibility, this paper provides a framework to be employed for different sensors’ communication types. This framework is a part of the proposed LBS approach for auto sending messages to the closest people of the risks.
