“…Researchers and scientists have contributed toward the development of means to address issues related to cracking, leakage, and bursting of sewer pipelines. Kim et al [77] proposed a novel RFID-based autonomous mobile device monitoring system for pipelines, called RAMP. The mobile robotic device comprising sensors (visual-, chemical-, pressure-, and SONAR-sensing) was capable of moving inside the pipelines along the direction of fluid flow whilst monitoring the presence of any defect on its way and localizing the same.…”

Major metropolitan cities worldwide have extensively invested to secure utilities and build state-of-the-art infrastructure related to underground fluid transportation. Sewer and water pipelines make our lives extremely convenient when they function appropriately. However, leakages in underground pipe mains causes sinkholes and drinking-water scarcity. Sinkholes are the complex problems stemming from the interaction of leaked water and ground. The aim of this work is to review the existing methods for monitoring leakage in underground pipelines, the sinkholes caused by these leakages, and the viability of wireless sensor networking (WSN) for monitoring leakages and sinkholes. Herein, the authors have discussed the methods based on different objectives and their applicability via various approaches—(1) patent analysis; (2) web-of-science analysis; (3) WSN-based pipeline leakage and sinkhole monitoring. The study shows that the research on sinkholes due to leakages in sewer and water pipelines by using WSN is still in a premature stage and needs extensive investigation and research contributions. Additionally, the authors have suggested prospects for future research by comparing, analyzing, and classifying the reviewed methods. This study advocates collocating WSN, Internet of things, and artificial intelligence with pipeline monitoring methods to resolve the issues of the sinkhole occurrence.

“…The disadvantage of active sensors is the need for an on-board battery, charging and/or replacement requirements increase the implementation and maintenance cost of the system [15][16][17]. Battery-free, low-cost, real-time sensing is ideal to provide a robust and economical system with longer life span and lower maintenance [18,19].…”

Wireless Battery-Free Harmonic Communication System for Pressure Sensing

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, an efficient passive wireless harmonic communication system is proposed for the real-time monitoring of the pressurized pipelines. A pressure sensor is fabricated using the additive manufacturing technique and a harmonic radio frequency (RF) tag is designed to operate at the fundamental frequency (fo) of 2 GHz that shifts the phase of the back reflected RF signal according to the applied pressure ranging from 0 to 20 psi. A power efficient phase modulation with virtually no losses is achieved using a hybrid coupler-based phase shifter that efficiently reflect back the incoming signal using an end coupled reactive impedance element/sensor. The phase delay introduced by the reactive element gets doubled with the second harmonic communication, which increases the sensitivity by a factor of two. The concept of harmonic backscattering is exploited to reduce the effects of multi-path interference and self jamming, as well as improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

“…Robotic applications have attracted a great deal of attention in four areas: image identification and object tracking (IDOT) [1][2], map positioning and navigation (MPN) [3][4], web communication (WC) [5][6], and vocal control for speech recognition (VCR) [7][8]. In IDOT, feature-based or appearance-based recognition algorithms are usually adopted for facial recognition, road marking, and vehicle tracking.…”
