Abstract:
This paper describes an underground monitoring system using 3D geographic information system (GIS), which models and shows real world objects. This system consists of wireless sensor networks, middleware, and a 3D visualizer. The wireless sensor networks provide sensing values on the state of underground facilities, the middleware provides an abstraction layer for various sensing devices and communication protocols, and the 3D visualizer shows the shapes, the locations, the states, and the risk indexes associated with facilities. The 3D GIS used in the visualizer provides a powerful tool that enhances the ability to monitor the underground environment for public safety and helps improve the efficiency of the underground safety management.
