Development of an integrated monitoring system for touristic mines and caves

摘要

This work is part of a project to design an integrated system for continuous monitoring of touristic mines and caves. The aim of the project is to achieve an efficient control system that ensures the safety of visitors and environmental preservation of biodiversity and geodiversity or other heritage elements present in the underground touristic activities. Prior to the design of the monitoring system a database of European caves and mines was made with the aid of a survey. This survey was sent to 862 underground activities and 61 responses were obtained. From its results we analyzed the needs that should cover the monitoring system.
