Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for delivering data based on a sensor network. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus for delivering data is provided in a means of transportation such as a vehicle, activates a node of a corresponding sensor network when a vehicle enters a road segment, and receives data from the transmission node. Then, the apparatus for delivering data calculates an optimum path along which the received data is delivered to a target destination, determines whether to use other vehicles or to directly deliver the data to the target destination on the basis of the calculated optimum path, and delivers the data to the target destination by the determined method. In this case, the target destination to which the data is delivered may be a different node of the same sensor network, or may be a node or a center of a different sensor network.
