Description:Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Sensor Based Water Logging Alert System
Background of the Invention
In major city locations, water logging affects commuters' daily lives. It is essential for commuters to be aware of when water logging will occur so they can take an alternative route. Therefore, we require a sensor-based water logging alert system that also directs commuters to another route. Additionally, commuters will see the location of the city's waterlogged area and the alternate route. The suggested system will be a sensor-based water logging alarm system that will alert commuters to waterlogging as they make their way to their destination and, if it is severe, advise them to take an alternate route. Additionally, this will help with traffic control in the city.
CN103323073A the invention discloses a road waterlogging water level monitoring and warning system. The road waterlogging water level monitoring and warning system comprises water level sensors arranged in every monitoring point, an acquisition controller which is connected with every water level sensor in an interactive mode, and short-distance display screens which are connected the water level sensors; the acquisition controller is connected with communication equipment in an interactive mode, and the communication equipment is connected with long-distance display screens and a monitor in an interactive mode. The road waterlogging water level monitoring and warning system does not need to be managed by a specially-assigned person and transmits and displays detected data through a wireless transmission mode, wherein the short-distance LED display screens are arranged in stations needing monitoring to achieve an current warning effect; the long-distance LED display screens are arranged at the position of the entrances of the monitoring stations to warn people to make a detour in advance or to guarantee no entry.
Research Gap: App based alert system for water logging using depth sensors, cloud server, coordinators and GPS modules.
The alert would be shared on the mobile app of commoners as well as the control room, so that the commuters could took an alternative route.
CN113110200A The invention discloses an urban waterlogging early warning system based on a weather and rainfall flood model, which comprises the following components: the system comprises an internet of things data acquisition end, a data processing system, a data processing cloud platform module, a meteorological data storage and analysis system, an early warning release module and a decision scheduling module. The invention can realize real-time early warning and monitoring of rain conditions, water conditions, working conditions and disaster conditions, and real-time interaction of the working conditions of flood prevention business; the remote monitoring of the operation of the pump gate station improves the emergency capacity of a city management department for coping with crisis events such as pipeline breakage, rain flood, waterlogging and the like by providing decision support of management work such as monitoring early warning, flood prevention scheduling, post-disaster reconstruction and the like, and ensures the stable operation of a drainage system.
Research Gap: GPS module used to identify the areas highly affected or having probability of being affected by water logging issues during monsoon.
The system would also allow common people to search for alternative safter route as well as would help the authorities to take swift action to resolve the water logging issues as the areas would be marked as danger zones.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. Present invention is Sensor Base Water Logging Alert System.
