INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for an infrastructure monitoring system. The infrastructure monitoring system may include an operations center; a monitoring device, the monitoring device may be coupled to a component of the infrastructure, include at least one sensor sensing at least one condition within the infrastructure, a data storage device storing data sensed by the at least one sensor, a transceiver device adapted to transmit and receive data, and a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the data storage device, and the transceiver device, the processor may be configured to receive the data sensed by the at least one sensor, determine, based on the data sensed by the at least one sensor, if there is a problem with the at least one condition within the infrastructure that the at least one sensor sensed, upon determining that there is a problem with the at least one condition within the infrastructure that the at least one sensor sensed, transmitting a message to the operations center via the transceiver device, and periodically compiling sensing data stored in the data storage device and transmitting the compiled sensing data to the operations center via the transceiver device; and a control device, the control device may be communicatively coupled to at least one of the operations center and the monitoring device, and the control device may be configured to operate at least one output device when signaled by at least one of the operations center and the monitoring device, and the control device may be positioned within a fire hydrant.

1. An infrastructure monitoring system comprising:
an operations center; a monitoring device coupled to a component of the infrastructure, the monitoring device comprising at least one sensor sensing at least one condition within the infrastructure, a data storage device storing data sensed by the at least one sensor, a transceiver device adapted to transmit and receive data, and a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the data storage device, and the transceiver device, the processor configured to:
receive the data sensed by the at least one sensor,determine, based on the data sensed by the at least one sensor, if there is a problem with the at least one condition within the infrastructure that the at least one sensor sensed,upon determining that there is a problem with the at least one condition within the infrastructure that the at least one sensor sensed, transmitting a message to the operations center via the transceiver device, andperiodically compiling sensing data stored in the data storage device and transmitting the compiled sensing data to the operations center via the transceiver device; and a control device communicatively coupled to at least one of the operations center and the monitoring device, the control device configured to operate at least one output device when signaled by at least one of the operations center and the monitoring device, wherein the control device is positioned within a fire hydrant.
