Abstract:
Recently, many researchers have focused on solving problems related to sinkholes, exploring both natural and artificial options. To address this problem, researchers need to work with land subsidence related to groundwater. In this paper, we consider outdoor environmental factors such as groundwater, water supply, and sewer and propose an Underground SAfety Hybrid (USAH) architecture. Specifically, the WAPUS (Wireless Access Point for Underground Safety services for Sinkhole detection) exploits a periodic monitoring and an aperiodic sensing. To increase the accuracy and reliability, we propose a hybrid architecture which merges these techniques. Furthermore in our proposed architecture, the sensor nodes collect sensing data as part of periodic monitoring and our platform carefully examines it using aperiodic sensing. Our simulation results show that WAPUS enhances the reliability in hybrid special condition.
