Abstract:
This paper presents a smart buoy system designed for monitoring environmental conditions in coastal and marine areas. The proposed solution addresses the need for reliable, in situ data collection through the use of embedded hardware, multiparameter sensors, and redundant communication technologies. This contribution aligns with the conference topics on intelligent sensing and autonomous systems for environmental applications. The work introduces a novel system architecture and reports original field test results obtained during real missions. The paper concludes that the system is robust and scalable, and that it offers a practical approach for improving data quality and transmission reliability in marine monitoring scenarios.
