METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UNDERGROUND EQUIPMENT MONITORING

摘要

The present disclosure provides a system which collects data from a set of sensors installed on underground vehicles which is then transferred to a remote data collection node through multiple communication protocol/channels according to priority calculations. Data priority is defined based on the evaluation of individual criteria and a set of weights. Priorities, weights and criteria can be dynamically adjusted depending on environmental factors. The protocol, channel and transfer order will depend upon calculated priorities.
