FLOW IMAGING AND MONITORING FOR SYNCHRONIZED MANAGEMENT OF WIDE AREA DRAINAGE

摘要

A flow imaging and monitoring system for synchronized management of wide area drainage that includes an interposer for supporting monitoring and management equipment in a manhole, a module for illuminating water flowing in pipes at the base of the manhole, a module for monitoring responses to reflected light, a sealed and rechargeable battery pack, and a data analysis and management system to interpret data streams in real time. The interposer can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the manhole and can be adjusted to be placed under the manhole cover. The module for illuminating the flowing water can be adjusted to generate various frequencies. The support structures for the modules can be adjusted for varying pitch, roll and yaw with respect to the manhole. The data analysis and management system is supported by cloud computing.

主权项

1. A flow monitoring system comprising:
an interposer supporting monitoring equipment in a location above water; one or more modules monitoring water-generated responses to reflected or transmitted light and/or reflected or transmitted sound at the location; a battery pack; a data capture, processing, and communication subsystem that renders light and/or sound into interpretable data streams; and a data analysis and management subsystem to interpret data streams, wherein:
the data capture, processing, and communication subsystem interacts with the data analysis and management subsystem, the data analysis and management subsystem manages the data capture, processing, and communication subsystem, and the data analysis and management subsystem is supported by cloud computing.
