摘要
A wireless sensor network will be used to detect the location of subsurface infrastructures such as a pipeline. The objective is to alert the infrastructure operator and the construction equipment operator of the threat of damage to the infrastructure. Currently the equipment operator has to depend on the color marks made by the locater sent by the One-Call center. The low cost wireless sensor network will alert the operator when the machine tool gets close to an existing utility. A combination of radio frequency signal, ultrasonic pulse, and acoustic signals is used to determine the infrastructure location. A sensor network is then used to map the infrastructure location with respect to the construction equipment operator and provide a reliable, accurate system to alert the operator of the potential danger.
