Abstract

Pipeline-based applications have become the indispensable part of life. Active monitoring and frequent inspections are critical to maintaining pipeline health. However, these tasks are highly expensive using the traditional maintenance systems, knowing that the pipeline systems can be largely deployed in an inaccessible and hazardous environment. In this paper, we propose a novel cost effective, scalable, customizable, and autonomous sensor-based system, called SPAMMS. It combines robot agent based technologies with sensing technologies for efficiently locating health related events and allows active and corrective monitoring and maintenance of the pipelines. SPAMMS integrates RFID systems with mobile sensors and autonomous robots. While the mobile sensor motion is based on the fluid transported by the pipeline, the fixed sensors provide event and mobile sensor location information and contribute efficiently to the study of health history of the pipeline. In addition, it permits a good tracking of the mobile sensors. Using the output of event analysis, a robot agent gets command from the controlling system, travels inside the pipelines for detailed inspection and repairing of the reported incidents (e.g., damage, leakage, or corrosion). The key innovations of SPAMMS are 3-fold: (a) the system can apply to a large variety of pipeline systems; (b) the solution provided is cost effective since it uses low cost powerless fixed sensors that can be setup while the pipeline system is operating; (c) the robot is autonomous and the localization technique allows controllable errors. The simulation experiments described in this paper along with prototyping activities demonstrate the feasibility of SPAMMS.
SPAMMS:基于传感器的管道自主监测和维护系统
基于管道的应用已经成为人们生活中不可缺少的一部分。主动监测和频繁检查是维护管道健康的关键。然而,这些任务使用传统的维护系统是非常昂贵的,因为管道系统可以部署在难以进入和危险的环境中。在本文中,我们提出了一种新颖的、具有成本效益的、可扩展的、可定制的、基于传感器的自主系统,称为SPAMMS。它将基于机器人代理的技术与传感技术相结合,可以有效地定位与健康相关的事件,并允许对管道进行主动和纠正性的监控和维护。SPAMMS集成了RFID系统与移动传感器和自主机器人。移动传感器的运动是基于管道输送的流体,而固定传感器提供事件和移动传感器的位置信息,有助于有效地研究管道的健康史。此外,它还可以很好地跟踪移动传感器。利用事件分析的输出,机器人代理从控制系统获得命令,在管道内部进行详细检查和修复报告的事件(例如,损坏,泄漏或腐蚀)。SPAMMS的主要创新之处有三点:(a)该系统可适用于多种管道系统;(b)所提供的解决方案具有成本效益,因为它使用低成本的无功率固定传感器,可以在管道系统运行时设置;(c)机器人是自主的,定位技术允许可控误差。本文所描述的仿真实验以及原型设计活动证明了SPAMMS的可行性。
