A methodology for designing robust and efficient hybrid monitoring systems

Abstract

A modern distributed monitoring system is a network of sensing units that acquire and transmit data towards a base station. These systems can be used to monitor infrastructures such as tunnels, pipelines and mines, supporting the detection of abnormalities such as faults and incidents. Wired and wireless solutions can be used to address inter-unit and remote communications, with the ultimate choice of technology determined by the monitoring application and its constraints. When an accident affects the monitored area (e.g., fire or explosion), the collapse of part of the structure on which the system is deployed may result in a partial or total impairment of system performance. In such circumstances, the system is unable to provide monitoring data that is required to assess the residual risk and to evaluate the accident dynamics.
