Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an autonomous flood risk mitigation system that provides protection to a user’s premises by assessing potential flood threats in real time and deploying an automatic solution to prevent floodwater from entering the premises, thereby minimizing structural damage and ensuring safety during flood events.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Floods are among the most devastating natural disasters, causing extensive damage to properties, infrastructure, and human lives. Sudden rise in water levels due to heavy rainfall, river overflow, or storm surges leads to water ingress into residential and commercial premises, resulting in structural damage and financial loss. In such cases, individuals often rely on traditional flood barriers such as sandbags, which require manual deployment and are often ineffective against severe flooding. Additionally, delayed response to rising water levels results in inadequate protection, thereby increasing the risk of property destruction and endangering human safety.

[0003] The unpredictable nature of flooding events poses a significant challenge in ensuring timely preventive measures. Current flood defense mechanisms rely on reactive solutions, where mitigation efforts begin only after water levels have reached a critical point. This delay in action increases the chances of extensive property damage. Furthermore, during flooding, pedestrian movement becomes highly unsafe due to unstable surfaces and strong water currents, leading to risks of injuries or drowning. Additionally, obstacles such as floating debris can compromise the effectiveness of flood barriers, resulting in further damage to protected areas.

[0004] US10664937B2 discloses methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for flood-risk analysis and mapping. One method includes operations for presenting, in a Graphical User Interface (GUI), options for calculating a flood risk map, and receiving, via the GUI, input identifying a geographical region and a weather scenario. Further, the method includes operations for dividing the geographical region into cells; calculating, utilizing a hydrological model, an inflow and an outflow of water between cells in the geographical region based on the weather scenario; and calculating, utilizing a hydraulic model, water depth in each cell based on the weather scenario and the inflow and outflow of water between cells. The flood risk map, generated based on the calculated water depth in each cell, shows the probability that each cell in the geographical region will be inundated with water under the weather scenario. The flood risk map is presented in the GUI.

[0005] US20110182668A1 discloses a method of water capture by pin-pointing likely excess flow locations and preventing flood damage. Captured water into temporary storage such as tanks, reservoirs, fabric tube arrays, or available lakes, can ultimately provide fresh water augmentation in many regions. Captured water will be tested, treated as needed, reclaimed and identified into central online storage sites. Not needed excess flows would be released after storm season. By flood damage and clean up avoidance, it provides ultimate long term flood pollution abatement for homes, businesses, farms and communities of affected US waterways.

[0006] Conventionally, there exists many systems that are capable of preventing the potential flood threats, however these systems are unable to provide real-time assessment of flood risks, automate protective measures, or facilitate safe pedestrian movement during emergencies. Moreover, these systems lack in managing water accumulation behind protective barriers, leading to potential water damage within enclosed premise that fail to provide adequate protection and safety during flood events.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that autonomously detects flood risks in prior to prevent water ingress, ensures pedestrian safety by providing stable walking surfaces, and efficiently manages floodwater within protected areas. Additionally, such a system must facilitate emergency response by guiding individuals to safer locations and alerting rescue teams in real time, thereby minimizing flood-related damages and ensuring human safety.

[0024] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0025] The present invention relates to an autonomous flood risk mitigation system that is accessed by a user for minimizing the impact of flooding by predicting water level rise to restrict water ingress. Additionally, the proposed system facilitates real-time evacuation assistance by providing visual guidance for directing individuals toward safer locations, thereby ensuring both structural and human safety during flood emergencies.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an autonomous flood risk mitigation system is illustrated, comprising a body 101 having a sensing module 103, a pneumatic panel 102 attached with each of the bodies 101, electromagnets 104 are installed at lateral sides of the panel 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed on the panel 102, a pneumatic supporting plate 106 integrated with the panel 102, plurality of pneumatic supporting rods 107 provided underneath each of the plates 106, multiple hydraulic pushers 108 mounted on the panels 102, the pushers 108 are mounted on hinges 109, electromagnetic springs 110 mounted on each of the pushers 108, plurality of water pumps 111 with automatic valves 112 installed with the bodies 101 and a holographic projection unit 113 is installed on each of the bodies 101.

[0027] The system disclosed herein comprises multiple bodies 101 that are pre-installed within the ground surface around a building or house to serve as monitoring means. Each body 101 is integrated with a sensing module 103 that plays a crucial role in detecting potential flood threats. The sensing module 103 is equipped with various sensors, including a rainfall sensor to measure precipitation intensity, a water level sensor to detect the rise in water levels, a humidity sensor to monitor moisture levels in the air, a temperature sensor to record temperature fluctuations, and a barometric pressure sensor to observe atmospheric pressure variations.

[0028] The rainfall sensor (not shown) utilizes a capacitive sensing mechanism to measure precipitation intensity. It consists of a dielectric surface with conductive plates 106 that form a capacitor. When raindrops accumulate on the sensor’s surface, they alter the dielectric constant between the plates 106, leading to a change in capacitance. This variation is converted into an electrical signal, which is processed to determine the rate and intensity of rainfall. The sensor continuously monitors these changes to assess the likelihood of flooding based on increasing precipitation levels.

[0029] The water level sensor operates on capacitive displacement sensing, where a submerged probe detects water levels based on capacitance variations. As water levels rise, the dielectric constant of the surrounding medium changes, altering the capacitance between the sensor’s electrodes. This change is processed by the sensor to measure the exact water level and detect rapid increases that indicate potential flooding. The sensor provides real-time data to a microcontroller, which is operatively linked to the sensing module 103.

[0030] The humidity sensor (not shown) relies on capacitive relative humidity (RH) sensing, which measures changes in capacitance caused by moisture absorption. The sensor consists of a hygroscopic polymer layer positioned between two electrodes. When the moisture content in the air increases, the dielectric properties of the polymer change, leading to variations in capacitance. These fluctuations are converted into digital signals that represent the relative humidity level. The data is used to monitor atmospheric moisture, which is crucial for predicting weather conditions that contribute to flooding.

[0031] The temperature sensor (not shown) functions using a temperature transducer, where temperature variations affect the dielectric properties of a capacitor. The sensor contains a temperature-sensitive material that expands or contracts in response to heat fluctuations. These changes modify the capacitance value, which is processed to determine the precise temperature. By tracking temperature shifts, the sensor correlates them with rainfall and humidity trends to enhance flood prediction accuracy.

[0032] The barometric pressure sensor (not shown) also employs capacitive sensing technology, utilizing a sealed chamber with a flexible diaphragm that responds to atmospheric pressure changes. As pressure fluctuates, the diaphragm moves, causing a shift in capacitance between the fixed and movable plates 106. This capacitance variation is converted into electrical signals, allowing the sensor to measure air pressure accurately. Since barometric pressure drops often indicate incoming storms or heavy rainfall, this sensor plays a vital role in early flood detection. Then, the sensor accurately predicts the likelihood, severity, and expected timing of flooding events by analysing these environmental parameters for allowing for timely preventive actions.

[0033] The microcontroller (not shown) process real-time environmental data and continuously compares these sensor readings with historical weather patterns and previous flood events stored in an integrated database. This comparison enables the microcontroller to determine flood risk levels and predict the estimated time before floodwaters reach a critical level.

[0034] Additionally, the microcontroller having an embedded GPS (Global Positioning System) module, which plays a dual role, it tracks the exact location of the bodies 101 and transmits real-time alerts, along with location coordinates, to rescue teams when a flood threat is detected, which ensures quick emergency response and enhances preparedness for evacuation or mitigation measures. The GPS (Global Positioning System) module consists of a receiver that communicates with the satellites to determine the exact location of the bodies 101. The GPS (Global Positioning System) module constantly receives signals from the satellites and calculates the coordinates.

[0035] The GPS module works by receiving signals from multiple satellites orbiting the Earth. The GPS module uses the timing of these signals and trilateration to calculate the precise location of the bodies 101. The microcontroller processes the data received from the GPS (Global Positioning System) module and transmits the precise location data including the location coordinates over a computing unit of the rescue team. The computing includes but not limited to laptop, smartphone and tablet. The computing unit is wirelessly linked with the microcontroller via a communication module, which includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module.

[0036] Each body 101 is equipped with a pneumatic panel 102 that serves as a flood barrier. These panels 102 are controlled by the microcontroller, which triggers their activation upon detecting early flood indicators. The panel 102 mentioned herein are powered by a pneumatic unit that utilizes compressed air to extend and retract the panel 102. The process begins with an air compressor which compresses atmospheric air to a higher pressure. The air cylinder of the pneumatic unit contains a piston that moves back and forth within the cylinder. The cylinder is connected to one end of the panel 102. The piston is attached to the panel 102 and its movement is controlled by the flow of compressed air. To extend the panel 102 the piston activates the air valve 112 to allow compressed air to flow into the chamber behind the piston. As the pressure increases in the chamber, the piston pushes the panel 102 to the desired length to form the barrier.

[0037] Once deployed, these panels 102 form a physical barrier against incoming floodwaters. The panels 102 are equipped with electromagnetic connectors, allowing them to interlock and create a watertight seal between adjacent panels 102. This mechanism ensures that floodwaters are effectively blocked, preventing water ingress into the protected premises. The electromagnetic connectors consist of a core material typically made of iron or steel wrapped with an insulated wire. The wire is coiled around the core to form a solenoid.

[0038] The electromagnetic connectors are connected to a power source, usually a battery or a low-voltage power supply. When an electric current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field around the solenoid. The direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction of the current flow and as the electromagnetic connectors activates, they get interlock and create a watertight seal between adjacent panels 102.

[0039] To improve situational awareness and ensure pedestrian safety, the system incorporates an Artificial Intelligence-based imaging unit 105 mounted on each plate. This imaging unit 105 is paired with a processor that captures and analyses multiple images of the surroundings to detect the presence of individuals stranded in flooded areas and facilitate their safe evacuation. The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 105 is constructed with a camera lens and a processor, wherein the camera lens is adapted to capture a series of images of the surrounding present in proximity to the bodies 101.

[0040] The processor carries out a sequence of image processing operations including pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification. The image captured by the imaging unit 105 is real-time images of the body 101’s surrounding. The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 105 transmits the captured image signal in the form of digital bits to the microcontroller. The microcontroller upon receiving the image signals compares the received image signal with the pre-fed data stored in a database and constantly determines presence of individuals stranded in flooded areas and facilitate their safe evacuation.

[0041] Concurrently, the microcontroller activates pneumatic supporting plates 106 integrated with the panels 102 are activated to create a stable walking surface, ensuring continuous pedestrian movement during emergencies. To further enhance stability, a plurality of pneumatic supporting rods 107 extends beneath each plate 106, providing additional reinforcement on the ground surface to prevent slipping or instability, allowing individuals to navigate flooded areas safely. The plates 106 and rods 107 are mentioned herein is also powered by a pneumatic unit that utilizes the compressed air to extend or retract the rods 107 and plates 106 as per requirement.

[0042] The system also includes a holographic projection unit 113 installed on each body 101, designed to visually guide pedestrians toward safer locations. The microcontroller, using GPS data, regulates the actuation of the holographic projection unit 113, displaying directional arrows or safe evacuation paths for individuals in distress. On actuation of holographic projection unit 113 by the microcontroller, the light source emits various combination of lights towards the lens which is further portrayed in front of the pedestrian to project the virtual images displaying directional arrows or safe evacuation paths for individuals in distress.

[0043] A proximity sensor is installed on each panel 102 to detect approaching obstacles, such as debris or large objects carried by floodwaters. The proximity sensor used herein is preferably an ultrasonic proximity sensor that uses ultrasonic waves to detect the approaching obstacles, such as debris or large objects carried by floodwaters. The ultrasonic proximity sensor typically emits ultrasonic waves towards surroundings and when the obstacles gets in contact with those waves, the ultrasonic waves hit the obstacle and bounce back to the sensor’s receiver. The receiver of the ultrasonic proximity sensor is sensitive to the emitted ultrasonic waves and listens for the reflected waves. When the emitted ultrasonic waves are received by the receiver the proximity sensor sends the data to the microcontroller which processes and analyzes the acquired data for detecting the approaching obstacles, such as debris or large objects carried by floodwaters.

[0044] Upon detecting a potential obstruction, the microcontroller activates multiple hydraulic pushers 108 mounted on each panel 102 to displace obstacles. These pushers 108 utilize electromagnetic springs 110 to exert the necessary force to remove objects from the path of the barrier, ensuring that the protection remains intact. The pushers 108 are strategically mounted on hinges 109, allowing them to tilt and adjust their position when exposed to high-pressure water waves to prevent damage while maintaining operational efficiency.

[0045] When the microcontroller (not shown) detects a potential obstruction approaching the flood barrier, the microcontroller initiates the activation sequence for multiple hydraulic pushers 108, which functions using fluid pressure-based actuation, where hydraulic fluid is pressurized within a cylinder to generate mechanical force.

[0046] Upon receiving the activation signal, the microcontroller directs hydraulic fluid into the piston chamber of each pusher. The pressurized fluid moves the piston rod forward, extending the pusher 108 outward to apply force on the detected obstacle. The intensity of the applied force is controlled based on the size and resistance of the obstruction, ensuring efficient displacement without causing excessive impact on the barrier.

[0047] To enhance the force application and control, each hydraulic pusher 108 is integrated with an electromagnetic spring, which consists of coils and a ferromagnetic core and generates a controlled magnetic force when electrically energized. The microcontroller regulates the current supply to the electromagnetic springs 110, adjusting the strength of the repelling or attracting force as needed. This feature ensures that appropriate pressure is applied to displace obstacles efficiently while preventing structural damage to the pushers 108. The electromagnetic springs 110 also act as a shock-absorbing mechanism, dampening excessive vibrations or impact forces that occurs when the pushers 108 engage with an obstruction.

[0048] To maintain stability and adaptability, the hydraulic pushers 108 are mounted on hinges 109, allowing them to tilt and pivot in response to external forces, particularly high-pressure water waves. These hinges 109 provide flexibility, ensuring that the pushers 108 do not suffer structural stress or mechanical failure when subjected to sudden forces from turbulent floodwaters.

[0049] When exposed to intense water currents, the hinge allows the pushers 108 to reposition dynamically, reducing resistance and ensuring that they return to their original state after the wave impact subsides, which enhances the longevity and reliability of the system, ensuring uninterrupted barrier functionality even in extreme flood conditions.

[0050] When rising water levels are detected by the imaging unit 105, the microcontroller actuates a plurality of water pumps 111 with automatic valves 112 installed within each body 101 continuously monitors the water levels behind the barrier and activates the pumps 111. These pumps 111 work to redirect or remove floodwater, effectively managing water within the protected area. The valves 112 regulate the flow of water, ensuring efficient drainage and preventing waterlogging inside the protected premises, thereby minimizing water-related damage and enhances flood resilience.

[0051] These valves 112 are electromechanically controlled, meaning that an electric actuator operates a solenoid mechanism to regulate the opening and closing process, which ensures that the valves 112 respond instantly to changing water levels without requiring manual intervention.

[0052] Once the valves 112 are open, the water pumps 111 begin to operate. These pumps 111 work on a centrifugal pumping mechanism, where a motor-driven impeller rotates at high speed to create a low-pressure zone inside the pump 111 chamber. This pressure difference draws water in through the intake valve, and as the impeller continues to spin, the water is forcefully pushed outward through the discharge pipe. The pumped water is then redirected away from the barrier, either back into a drainage or towards a designated safe disposal area. Once the desired water level is restored, the microcontroller signals the valves 112 to close, preventing any further water intake.

[0053] A Hall Effect sensor is incorporated into the system to quantify the intensity of the electromagnetic field, which is directly proportional to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the water against the barrier. This integration ensures the secure interlocking of the panels 102 and maintains the structural integrity of the flood barrier throughout the flood event

[0054] A battery is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrode named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the system.

[0055] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the system begins its operation with the sensing module 103 embedded in multiple bodies 101 pre-installed inside the ground surrounding the building or house. This module consists of various sensors, including the rainfall sensor, the water level sensor, the humidity sensor, the temperature sensor, and the barometric pressure sensor. These sensors continuously gather real-time environmental data to assess the possibility, intensity, and timing of potential flood events in the surrounding area. The real-time data collected by the sensing module 103 is transmitted to the microcontroller, which is responsible for analyzing the information. The microcontroller compares the incoming data with historical weather patterns and previous flood events stored in the integrated database. Based on this comparison, it calculates the current flood risk level and estimates the expected time before floodwaters reach the critical level. If the microcontroller detects the significant flood risk, the microcontroller triggers the emergency response. It utilizes the embedded GPS (Global Positioning System) module to determine the exact location of the threat and transmits real-time alerts to rescue teams. This ensures that appropriate authorities and emergency responders are informed in time to take necessary action. Upon confirming the flood threat, the microcontroller activates pneumatic panels 102 attached to each embedded body 101 in the ground. These panels 102 rise to form the flood barrier, preventing water from entering the protected area. The panels 102 are interconnected via electromagnets 104, which are engaged to create the watertight seal between adjacent panels 102, reinforcing the strength of the barrier. To ensure human safety during the flood event, the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed on each panel 102 captures and processes multiple images of the surroundings. This imaging unit 105 helps detect individuals in flooded areas, enabling targeted rescue efforts if necessary. In situations where pedestrians need to move through flooded areas, the microcontroller activates pneumatic supporting plates 106 integrated with the panels 102. These plates 106 rise to form the stable surface, preventing people from stepping directly into the water. Additionally, pneumatic supporting rods 107 underneath the plates 106 extend to the ground, ensuring stability and preventing slippage on wet surfaces. If obstacles such as debris or floating objects are detected approaching the flood barrier, proximity sensors installed on each panel 102 identify these obstructions. The microcontroller then activates hydraulic pushers 108 mounted on the panels 102. These pushers 108, powered by electromagnetic springs 110, exert force to move obstacles away from the barrier. To enhance durability, the pushers 108 are mounted on hinges 109, allowing them to tilt and absorb impact from high-pressure water waves without getting damaged. As the floodwaters rise, the series of water pumps 111 with automatic valves 112, installed within the bodies 101, come into action. The microcontroller continuously monitors the water levels behind the barrier and activates the pumps 111 as needed. The automatic valves 112 regulate the water flow to efficiently divert or remove excess water, preventing water accumulation in the protected area and minimizing flood damage. To assist individuals in finding safe routes, the holographic projection unit 113 installed on each embedded body 101 is activated. The microcontroller, using GPS coordinates, regulates the display of directional arrows or pathways, visually guiding pedestrians toward secure locations. Once the flood risk subsides, the microcontroller gradually deactivates the barriers, retracts the supporting plates 106 and rods 107, and resets the pumps 111 and sensors. The microcontroller returns to standby mode, continuously monitoring environmental conditions to detect future flood threats.
