Smart Manhole Surveillance System Using Iot

Abstract

This current project pushes the existent technology in manhole detection and creates an integrated design employing multiple different sensors and communication cards working in conjunction with an Arduino microcontroller. A gas sensor is installed to be able to identify dangerous gases released by the manhole hence protecting both pedestrians and workers on the ground. A tilt sensor is applied to detect manhole cover positioning and any positional anomalies or tampering in that area will be alerted at an early stage. An ultrasonic sensor defines location metrics in terms of distances, to the manhole, which improves spatial localization. The data in real time can be analyzed on a site by an LCD screen. Moreover, there is a GSM module that allows remote control and a prompt notification of specific authority employees upon emergencies. In combination, these elements provide a sturdy blueprint of manhole safety management that grants additional security to the citizens and reduces the dangers associated with maintenance of urban infrastructure.
