Abstract
A smart dosimeter coupled to a legal dosimeter and used as if they were incorporated into one structure. A sensor, provided in the smart dosimeter, detects a worker is wearing the legal dosimeter. An instantaneous exposed dose value can be checked, in real time, to assist a worker with performing an operation or task. A motion detection unit detects a motion; a legal dosimeter detection unit checks whether the legal dosimeter is coupled to the smart dosimeter; a wearing check unit checks whether the worker is wearing the legal dosimeter based upon motion information; a G-M detection unit detects a real-time exposed dose of the worker; and a data communication unit transmits the exposed dose, detected by the G-M detection unit, to a management server and receives warning situation information from the management server.
