Development of new solutions for monitoring absolute displacement and vibrations in geotechnical infrastructures
The overall objective of this project is to develop a technological solution for the accurate monitoring of absolute displacement and vibrations in various geotechnical applications and critical infrastructures. This advanced solution will enable real-time capture of position and vibration data, which is essential for improving safety, efficiency, and compliance with ISO and DIN standards at work sites.
The specific technical objectives of the project are:
→ Development of New Advanced Monitoring Nodes: Research, design, and develop highly accurate and affordable geospatial monitoring nodes that meet the accuracy requirements for absolute displacement and vibration in critical infrastructure.
→ Communication Optimization: Design efficient communication systems based on LoRa technology for data transfer between nodes and the base station, ensuring reliable, low-energy communication.
→ Implementation of Processing Algorithms: Develop data processing algorithms to improve measurement accuracy and quality.
→ Development of Intuitive User Interface: Create intuitive and user-friendly interfaces for both mobile devices and cloud platforms, allowing users to effectively configure, monitor, and analyze data.
→ Exploration of Energy Sources: Research and test different energy sources, including internal and external batteries and solar charging options, to ensure a minimum lifespan of 2 years for monitoring nodes.
→ Data Security and Privacy: Implement robust security measures to protect the integrity of transmitted and stored data, including user authentication, data encryption, and protection against potential attacks.
→ Compatibility and Scalability: Design monitoring nodes and software platforms to be compatible with existing and future systems, allowing for easy integration with third-party solutions.
→ Validation in Real Environments: Conduct exhaustive testing and validation in real geotechnical infrastructure environments, such as mines, slopes, and construction sites, to demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the monitoring nodes developed.
The technology developed can be used to remotely monitor and manage critical infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, water supply networks, and energy systems. In addition, it can be used to monitor and control environmental parameters such as air quality, temperature, humidity, and water quality.
