Abstract

Effective deployment of the emerging environmental sensor network in environmental mapping has become essential in numerous industrial applications. The essential factors for deployment include cost, coverage, connectivity, airflow of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, system lifetime, and fault tolerance. In this letter, a three-stage deployment scheme is proposed to formulate the above-mentioned considerations, and the fuzzy temperature window is established to adjust sensor activation times over various ambient temperatures. To optimize the deployment effectively, a multi-response Taguchi-guided k-means clustering is proposed to embed in the genetic algorithm, where an improved set of the initial population is formulated and system parameters are optimized. Therefore, the computational time for repeated deployment is shortened, while the solution convergence can be improved.
