Water distribution networks require long term autonomous monitoring solutions, integrated, reliable and cost effective data transfer methods. This paper investigates the data delivery infrastructure of water distribution network sensor equipment used for network monitoring and billing of the subscribers. Water distribution network usually apply sensors to measure water flow, pressure and temperature. The main goal is to offer a wireless sensor system architecture comprising simplified and cost effective design for large scale deployments, maximizing autonomous running time and data transmission reliability. The proposed solution offers a periodic data acquisition system by removing the need of drive-by scenarios commonly used for water meter readouts collection. The idea of pseudo autonomous wireless sensor monitoring system is also discussed in the conclusion.
The technical solution for smart city concept is offered in the article. The IoT supporting new generation of control concept is developed for smart city paradigm. The offered unified wireless data transmitting concept is deployed as wireless transport vehicles weight control tool. The integrated weight sensor is developed and demonstrated in this article. The offered sensor is integrated in IoT paradigm, and aimed to obtain data from primary source and transfer it to Intelligent Transport System (ITS) in order to use those data for transport flow modeling. The data transferred to ITS will be used acquired used elements of offered the system: sensing technologies, data transferring, simulation of traffic flows and decision making. The developed solution is compatible with IoT on-line traffic management system and next generation of smart city control system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
