Abstract:
This paper presents underground facility monitoring services to detect road subsidence. Each service includes a wireless sensor network, middleware, an analyzer, and a visualizer. The network, equipped with many sensor nodes and an underground safety-access point (UGS-AP), acquires sensing values on the physical condition of underground facilities and transmits them. The middleware manages, stores, and provides the values to the analyzer and the visualizer. The analyzer evaluates the status of the facilities by using the sensing values and generates a subsidence risk index (SRI) in a certain area, which indicates the risk level. The SRI is the result of the aggregation of the statuses generated from all underground facilities included in the area. Each SRI is classified in a category (low, medium, and high risk level). The visualizer displays the SRI with geometric objects and imagery data. This service will enhance the ability to increase public safety by monitoring the underground space and help explain the causes of the road subsidence by analyzing the sensing values.
